Best gecko setup

[Steve_bham]

I've always wanted to keep a gecko and been doing the research etc. Just with fish tanks there are loads of vivariums to pick!

So to all the experienced reptile keepers any ideas what is the best one to get?

Geckos will happily live in almost any style of viv, so closed fish tank or wooden box with glass doors is fine.
Humidity isn't an issue with Geckos as they are desert animals, but temperature is important. Any viv style which will hold in the heat will work.
Just make sure that there is a hot side and a cool side in the viv with hiding places in each.

for that any recommendations on any? I've seen a few but don't want to splash out when there might have been a better one to get lol

If you look at Swell's reptile section online you will see the wooden box with glass door style I mentioned. Their prices are also excellent btw.
You can also look daily through Gumtree, vivs always come up for sale.
Here is my viv to give you an idea:

To be honest not sure yet. Still doing a bit of reading on the different types.

always thought the exoterras looked smart
Exo Terra : Terrariums

That's one of the ones I've been looking at, and it's at the top of the list and looks pretty good.
