This kit contains everything you need to set up a bioactive enclosure for your Viper Gecko, sans the 20L glass aquarium. This enclosure size can easily house 4-6 viper geckos.

Our bioactive kits are the perfect way to easily jump into bioactive keeping, and providing your pets with a more natural habitat. It includes:

• Screen Top for 20L aquarium (~30x12 inch)

A screen top provides adequate ventilation for the animal, while insuring that it does not escape, or other pets/children do not easily get in to the habitat.

• Lighting & Fixtures

Reptiles rely on the environment to regulate their body temperature. For your pet gecko, proper thermoregulation is crucial. This mini dome lamp with a halogen bulb will help, running for 12 hours daily and turning off overnight. The provided 24 inch LED Fixture will provide plants with the lights they need to thrive.

• Josh's Frogs Bioactive Substrates

This combo of bioactive substrate is ideal for your Viper gecko. Blend ABG, sand, and leaf litter together, mix 1/4 of the substrate blend with dechlorinated water until it clumps, then squeeze out excess water. Place the damp layer at the bottom of the tank and cover it with the remaining dry substrate.

• Clean-Up Crew

Isopods will colonize the damp portions of the substrate, especially around the base of plants, under the water bowl, and under humid hides. They'll venture out at night to consume shed, poop, and dead insects.

• Desert Plants

These easy-to-care-for succulents enjoy low humidity and bright light. 

• Other décor items to spice up the look of your tank

Cork and wood not only look great in a terrarium, but they also serve a practical use by providing climbing areas and hides for your geckos, and rough surfaces to help with shedding.

• Food & Water Dishes

Centralize a feeding area by offering food in a bowl, and ensure that clean water is available daily to help with shedding and hydration.

• Temperature & Humidity gauges

Ensure that your temperature & humidity levels are safe for your gecko with this combination gauge.

• Spray Bottle & Dechlorinator
• Wild Viper geckos get moisture from their diet, as well as from morning dew. To replicate this dew in captivity, lightly spray the enclosure every night. Make sure to use dechlorinated, reverse osmosis, or distilled water. Ensure you're directly misting underneath hides and at the base of plants.
