Leopard Gecko Housing Advice

[Little Texas]

I have a leopard gecko among many other reptiles but I haven't exactly figured this one out.

I am looking to redo her housing unit and was looking for some advice. I always try to create the most realistic environment for my animals both for their benefit and also for visual affect.

If anyone here has a lot of experience with leopard geckos and could offer some advice on how to create a natural habitat for them it would be greatly appreciated.

Right now she has a 29 gallon tank which is know is larger than most recommend. I am considering building her a mostly wood unit to block out the light during the day. Also do they do better with friends or by themselves?

Search "leopard gecko" here on the forum, there's an older thread that has a picture of a nice setup. I'd post a link but I'm on my phone and its a bit more tedious to do so.

This site offers instructions on how to make "fake rock" structures for lizard tanks. They are pretty easy to make and you can be as creative as you want. You can build some nice hides and climbing structures, and even make the floor of the viv this way.

I love all the fun looking stuff they make for geckos to climb on. I want to see your pix. They are fun little guys. Don't you just love watching them eat?

I can not for the life of me get my picture to attach. I am the most non tech savy 22 year old there is.

OK so it was my computer that wasn't working. Here is her tank right now. They are kinda bad pics but there are hiding spots behind the rock structure on the right. Those are different succulents placed in there also.
