Thanks, Steven, for your response..
First, I think I figured out part of the problem...
the caves were not "high" enough! I put another small
rock at the sides to raise the roof...so to speak...
and they are in there now. I am trying to figure out
the best temp for the "floor" of the caves... though
my geckos won't go it if the floor is damp... why is
that? As far as I can remember... 88* for the floor?
Thanks!
