Leopard Geckos

More than a year ago a co-worker connected me to a friend who’s girlfriend breeds leopard geckos as her one of her hobbies.

He sent me a bunch of pictures and some videos and I was immediately hooked on those animals.

I was thinking about getting a terrarium myself and get one or two of these guys myself. The months passed and suddenly, I moved.

Now, since I have got time again I am thinking about getting a small guy or girl again. I watched a bunch of videos on youtube and got the books I bought about a year ago out.

I also contacted my father, as glass terrariums cost a whole lot of money, and for the place, I think I would place such a terrarium, it wouldn’t make sense to have an all-glass one.

Also, a wood-based one would be way cheaper and thinking about isolation, wood would also be better.

Since I want to buy a mealworm farm in the near future anyway, I also would have a proper source of food for the geckos.

But, the decision isn’t made yet and there are also some things to ask the nearby veterinaries as not every veterinary doctor works with reptiles.

So, for now, I will be staying in the planning state. If I would build a terrarium myself I definitely would try to fully automate it. Luckily somebody already thought about that and crafted TerrariumPI.

We’ll see how the thoughts about this project are coming along. I will definitely keep you updated.
