That's an awesome waterfall!
The video only shows a very short glimpse of the whole tank from the front, and I'm wondering if the dry portion is enough "land" for an adult BTS? Does he have a dry part on the cooler side?
I'm really not trying to criticize, it's a very impressive set-up! And, like I said, I couldn't get a good enough look from the front to see enough to really judge the size. So I'm really just voicing a question I had while watching.
But you've done a really good job! It's a set-up like that that I would like for my Cresties one day.

The end of the video is the dry side. He is behind the hide log at the dry side where the basking lamp is located. Not offense taken. The cool side is next to the waterfall, there is at least one foot of substrate at the cool side. Thank you for your compliments. Your geckos like humidity? I think you should look in to purchasing a custom made waterfall from this guy.

Aaaahhh, good to know he has plenty of space.
Thanks for the heads up, those waterfalls would be PERFECT for the Cresties,
but in a sec we are going to be told by the awesome moderators on this forum to stay on topic, and keep it to BTS!

Thank you everyone. Katrina, yes he is active. Today he shed. Skinks
seem a little stressed while shedding. My skink pee when I was carrying
him to a bath. Then he had a full release of excriment in the water. I
noticed only when my skink is shedding he does this, but never when I
take him out of the enclosure while he is not in shed.
