im trying to breed my golden geckos. so far i've had no luck. could anyone give me an idea what im doing wrong? i tried to make the tank, (about 29 gallons) similar to the original environment by adding fake plants and using corkbark as a "tree", there currently on cocobark (it'll be changed though), and im trying to stabilize the humidity and temperature. (im thinking of using aquarium stones under the substrate to make a "pool" of water that will help keep the humidity.)
the temperature stays between 78 and 83 degrees, and humidity is usually between 50-80%, depending on how much water i spray into the tank. there is also a aquarium light above the tank, which is on from 6am to 6 pm (from dusk to dawn.) am i doing something wrong? i probably am. here are some pics.
heres a close up.
and the geckos themselves. (i couldnt get pics from there tank.)
also, i want to get some better lighting for my other herps. could anyone tell me what would be good (and not real expensive, like mercury bulbs are.) for a uromastyx (aegypticus), a ball python, and some turtles. (two red eared sliders, and a mississippi map turtle.)
