hey everyone, i'm setting up my first gecko enclosure and i'm just looking for a bit of experinced wisdom. i'm sure u're all sick of hearing these questions but here goes:
thermostats:
i'm wanting to heat the enclosure at one end with a red heating globe day and night and i'm looking at all the different kinds of themostats. i know there's your tradtional on/off ones, but i've seen a brand called microclimates that "dim" the power to control temp rather then switching on/off. i know this will be better for the bulb itself but what about the gecko?
substrate:
i realise everyone has their own opinons on this, but what do all you marbled velvet gecko keepers use? i know a lot of people say newspaper, but god it looks ugly and i keep thinking it's not natural for them. i may be hopefully getting an adult one to start with so can i use something more interesting then good old paper?
i'd appericate any advice here
