• Live Isopod Colony (10 Count Cristarmadillidium muricatum "Pineapple Spiky"): Unique, hardy detritivores that actively break down organic waste.

Canopy Plants & Natural Hardscape

• Bioactive Canopy Starter Trio (3-Pack Epipremnum cultivars): Fast-growing climbing and trailing foliage for sturdy vertical pathways.
• Branching Neoregelia Bromeliad Trio (3-Pack): Epiphytic urn plants that create natural canopy drinking pockets.
• Peperomia 'Ruby Cascade': Trailing live succulent vine that adds lush visual texture to upper perches.
• Virgin Cork Bark Tubes (5 lbs) & Flats (1.5 lbs): Moisture-resistant, textured natural bark providing vertical ramps and secure canopy roosts.
• Bendable Artificial Jungle Vine (Large): Flexible climbing branch to weave 3D navigation paths across the canopy.
• Hanging Coconut Hide: Elevated coconut refuge.
• Natural Coconut Shell Hideouts (2-Pack): Low-profile ground shelters for resting and shedding.

Lighting, Heating & Climate Automation

• 12" Dimmable Linear LED UVB Lamp (10.0W): Delivers essential safe UVB gradient for metabolic health and active circadian rhythms.
• 5.5" Deep Dome Fixture & 50W Ceramic Heat Emitter: Provides constant, lightless ambient warmth.
• Adjustable Lamp Stand with 360° Swing Arm: Securely elevates overhead heat sources above the mesh screen top.
• Digital Reptile LED Thermostat: Precise temperature regulation with automated cutoff to prevent overheating.
• 3.5L Ultrasonic Reptile Fogger & Humidifier: Adjustable automated fog output for sustaining morning and evening humidity spikes.
• 2-Liter Heavy-Duty Pressure Pump Sprayer: Continuous misting system for thorough hydration and plant watering.

Feeding & Diagnostic Care

• Magnetic Acrylic Arboreal Feeding Ledge (Large Double): Secure elevated feeding platform with removable cups for food and water.
• Natural Sandstone Low-Profile Food & Water Basin: Earthy, tip-resistant dish for ground-level hydration or calcium stations.
• Dual-Zone Digital Thermometer & Hygrometer: Wired probe station for tracking ambient temperatures and humidity levels.
• Handheld Infrared Temperature Gun (AK550): Instant non-contact surface temperature diagnostics across all vertical zones.
• Gargeer Gentle Geck Complete Diet (Fig Formula): Nutrient-dense, highly palatable complete meal powder.
  

Setup & Keeper Guidance

• Bioactive Cycling: Allow the live plants and isopod colony to establish in the cycled substrate for 7–14 days prior to introducing your gecko.
• Thermal Gradient: Position the ceramic heat emitter and basking branch on one side of the upper canopy to maintain an 78–82°F warm basking spot while keeping the lower zones around 70–75°F.
• Humidity Management: Use the 2L pressure sprayer to provide a deep daily misting, relying on the ultrasonic fogger during dry periods to sustain an ambient 60–80% humidity cycle with dry-out periods between sprays.
