Miracle's Upgraded Tank!
Welllll, today I got the idea of taking my old digital camera into Cash Converters to get some cash :P
When we got there, I looked around and found a pretty big tank for $25.00. I ended up exchanging my camera for the tank!
Brought it home, measured it, and its 20 gallons!
So guess who got a new tank?
MIRACLE!
I'm so happy that she's gotten the new tank. Poor gal was living in a tank about half the size an adult gecko needs (in her previous home, I just rescued her last week). I went broke buying her a heater, proper substrate etc. because her previous home never provided any of that for her. I was expecting I'd have to save up for a lot longer than I actually did!
Sooo, here's some pictures of her new set-up. I'm gonna be getting some better deco soon, but this is what she has at the moment. Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated!
Here's a view from the front...
The right side of the tank, which is the hot side.
View from above...
Left side of tank, the cool side/toilet area....
Topview of the tank...
She really seems to like it. I just checked on her, and she's climbing over her rocks and caves, and really exploring her new digs. I even caught her drinking out of her water bowl (which I've never seen her do). She wouldn't eat this morning, but once she was in there, she started eating, which I'm very thankful for.
Edit: I'm also working on a background, I'm trying to paint one myself, but its not working out very well at the moment. LOL :P

Re: Miracle's Upgraded Tank!
lovely set-up! I bet she loves it ^ ^
I wish we could get a 20 gallon tank here for that price I'd buy them all. I also never knew that cash converters might have tanks.. i'm now going to visit all of our cash converters
I love your tile It's a very nice design
Awwww Miracles looks so happy :P

Re: Miracle's Upgraded Tank!
I think somebody is looking out for little Miracle. It is a great deal for a great deed that was done. You have taken in Miracle and now you are being helped out in caring for her:D
Re: Miracle's Upgraded Tank!
Nice cage you got there, I'd love to get some tile like that for my leos, where did you get them?
Everything looks pretty great, a 20 gal for a girl like that, she gonna love it!

Re: Miracle's Upgraded Tank!
What a great deal! I think I paid like $40 for my tank or something. The next time my local petshop does a "dollar a gallon" sale, I think I'm upgrading to a 40 gal breeder tank. ;D
Re: Miracle's Upgraded Tank!
Thanks guys for all your comments, I appreciate them!
gothic- I'd never even thought about checking them myself! I just went there to get some cash for the camera, and I decided to look around until the lines were a bit shorter, and lo and behold they had at least four tanks! I was very impressed, so I guess I'm gonna be going back whenever I need a new tank
smararas - I think so! I've gotten pretty lucky with her supplies! Which means SHE'S even luckier!
geckogal - Thanks! I actually got them at Lowes hardware store. They were like a dollar each, and 2 fit perfectly in my 20 gal, with a little space left uncovered for a paper towel toilet area. She loves it, she's much more active now!
sams, and TxGeck - thanks!
Kodieh- The high prices were why I was going to wait to buy her a bigger tank, but when I saw this tank I just had to snatch it up! Ooh, a 40 gal would be awesome! Pics when you get it!
