Gecko-Bookshelf Integration

Jaws, our Tokay Gecko, was left to us by a friend when they had to move. We weren't sure about him at first. He was pretty, but we heard that he wasn't the nicest lizard out there - he'd been known to attack! However, he's since became a member the family. Click on Jaws below to see more pics!


He seemed a little cramped in his previous enclosure, as he'd circle the cage restlessly, so we decided it was time to take it to the next level. We also wanted some desk space back too!


We scoured the Web for information on building our own cage and decided to integrate it into our bookshelf. It meant that a few of our cars and toys had to be put into boxes, but in the end, it was worth it!

After several trips to Home Depot, and countless rounds of trial and error, we were able to make it work. Jaws now enjoys his two story condo, complete with artificial heat and a wonderful view of our office!
