all three cant see eachother, and are threw out my house. all tank bottoms are atlease 3 feet from ground. low traffic. tink is only one with live plants and she has a habiscus i believe its called. they all have about 70-80 % of tank is covered by fake plants and vines bought at pet store. they are on 12/h light/dark. switching at 8 am and 8 pm. I think thats it. I started by owning beardie and geckos, water dragons, day geckos, williamsii dwarf geckos, fat-tail geckos before buying chams.
