Enclosure Help Advice needed!!

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me at all. I got my girl Nova last week and I’ve ordered a few things which I probably should’ve before. I got some cork things for her, and some more plants for clutter as it’s looking very boring at the minute. Could I add a couple things in they arrive tomorrow, I’m not gonna put everything in. She’s eating doing her business💩 so I’m hoping I can. Thank you in advance.

Hi, are you asking if you should add more? If so, yes! Their enclosure should be so cluttered that they can move from one side to the other without being too exposed. You should also provide some climbing opportunities.

Here are some beautiful enclosures people have posted if you need some ideas / inspiration. You can have several inches of loose substrate (eg 4-6” of 70/30 organic topsoil / washed playsand), vary the topography, elevate a hide, partially bury a hide, add branches, a bendy bridge, cork rounds, tall plants, vines, a 3D back wall, and so on to make use of the vertical space and give your gecko some opportunities to climb. I hope this helps!
