I'm kind of wanting to build a fairy house-themed enclosure for Nemo now and was wondering what sort of materials are safe for geckos and what to avoid...
#Enclosure Building- what materials are safe to use?

Slate, driftwood, cork bark, ceramic stuff without glitter that’s been properly cleaned. Leaf litter too. A topsoil/playsand mix is a good substrate and pretty cheap
uncut vine
Would eco-friendly resin be ok?
shadow nova
I would worry about resin potentially off gassing under heat and stuff
In terms of wood make sure any wood you use is hardwood and not softwood

Also is spagnum the only moss I can use?
trim pelican
That’s the most widely available and used moss but I believe you can use peat moss as well

Also is spagnum the only moss I can use?
Let me ask some other QA’s on this c:
I’m not too sure as I don’t dabble with moss
uncut vine
Let me ask some other QA’s on this c:
did they get back to you
shadow nova
did they get back to you
In terms of like other moss- you could possibly try to get some to grow on the cool side but that stuff is typically more for tropical environments /not really arid setups like Leos are in annnd peat moss has ethical / environmental issues so it’s not really recommended to just go out and buy I believe :0
If you meant like live moss anyways
shadow nova
I’m not much of a plant person so I’m double checking on this but I think Spanish moss can be used 
shadow nova
Does other moss cause issues?
Like- other live mosses?
shadow nova
I’m not much of a plant person so I’m double checking on this but I _think_ Span...
If I’m remembering this correctly and it can be used Spanish moss would 100% fit a fairy aesthetic

Are these both just lamps? I got a clamp lamp one for the other one...Im not sure how its gonna work out?
shadow nova
That’s a bulb and dome / lamp
And the clamp lamp part doesn’t have to be attached
It just comes with the dome
C: you can just set the dome on top of the lid of the tank
Like dis
uncut vine
Oh okay, so the repta-clamp dimmer just goes on top
shadow nova
Ye
uncut vine
How do you dim the heat projector with the repta clamp dimmer
uncut vine
Sorry if it sounds stupid to ask this, I have just never used these
shadow nova
So you plug the dome into your thermostat that’s set to the temp you want
And then you use the dial on the dome to dim it

Np!

Just got a UVB...package looked a little torn up...the light does not even work :(
crude comet
Did you set up your timer?
Bc if your timer is set to be off rn, it won't turn on
Try plugging it into a normal outlet rn
uncut vine
I don’t have the timer yet I just plugged it into a normal outlet
I contacted zoomed for a replacement
crude comet
Hmmm, weird
uncut vine
How does it look so far? (its not finished Im gonna add calcium dish and the thermostat)
@shadow nova I want your input because you helped me pick out the stuff
shadow nova
Lookin lovely so far!
shadow nova

The first graphic has heating info!!! Just at the top there :) 
shadow nova
It’s a little outdated in terms of the heat spot
90-93 is a litttle too low for them basking spot wise now we’ve come to find :3
crude comet
What should it be in celcius?
Actually I should probably just change my thermostat to f lol
It'd be easier
shadow nova
34-35 c is what we suggest but you can do a little higher as well c:
Like if you set it to 97 / 36 it wouldn’t harm them
crude comet
Imma go change my thermostat then
uncut vine
Im having trouble with either the heating on the reader :(
uncut vine
Mine wont change from 77
crude comet
hmmm weird
uncut vine
I plugged my heat lamp into the thermostat and theres not heat coming from it ?!
shadow nova
Did you turn the dimming dial on your dome to on
uncut vine
Yeah
shadow nova
It will indeed not put any heat out if it is on the off option /lh
uncut vine
Its on
uncut vine
I have it manually set up
crude comet
So there's no timer?
uncut vine
No? I dont think so
crude comet
Like your thermostat is just plugged into the wall
uncut vine
Plugged into an extension cord
But its working
Thermostat works fine
Displays temp
shadow nova
I’m askin in QA chat about them since I haven’t used one personally so 
crude comet
Did you set your temp?
uncut vine
So I have a Flunkers dimmer dome over a DHP bulb and the dimmer dome is plugged into the thermostat
uncut vine
Did you set your temp?
I was having trouble with figuring out how to program the thermostat
Do you think its that?
crude comet
Well if you didn't program it, I don't think it'll put off heat?
uncut vine
OH I SEE THE ISSUE
The heater temp is set to 78
or 77
the heat device turns off when it reaches that temp
im dumb
crude comet
Why would it turn off tho?
crude comet
Oh
shadow nova
Yeh :3
My night time temp is set to 65 cus my room doesn’t ever drop below that / if it does it’ll turn on but if you wanted to you could do like 70
uncut vine
I had it to 94 and started smelling a weird smell so I just shut it off :(
uncut vine
Ah okay
shadow nova
It’ll go away but it’s night time so you can leave it off if it’s not cold (below 65 f) in your house
