When I first purchased the R. leachianus geckos I found myself in a slight predicament – I wanted
to snatch up the pair before the person selling them realized how insane they
were to charge only a few hundred dollars for an adult, proven breeding pair of
Nuu Ana geckos, but I wasn’t prepared to house animals of this size just yet. I
only had a week to prepare the cage, and I didn’t want to order in something in
the fear that shipping would take too long and I’d find myself with two animals
without a proper home.
So then I looked through the reptile supplies that I did
have and realized that I could probably emulate closed-sided cages like the
Dragonstrand designs for less money and in less time than ordering a new one. I
knew the quality wouldn’t compare, but for now it should prove to be more than
adequate. I just needed something large, and with mostly solid sides. And then
I realize that this could prove a useful tutorial for anyone else that perhaps
wanted to add a solid side or two to their screen cages themselves.
