I found some links. Like Oli said, they look "ok". I did see some perches through my seaching that looked awesome though. I think that if you really took your time heating up the PVC you might avoid the cracks that are all over most of the PVC creations.

The last one takes some time to read/look because all of the photos are links that have to be copy/pasted.

Another idea is to get some Great Stuff (foam insulation) and coat the pvc tube to give it texture and then lightly sand it and paint it then seal it.

I thought of this, as it would likely look awesome! That being said, though, wouldn't it be more difficult to clean? I know my cork bark, for example, with all it's crevices is annoying to clean (wish my Chahoua would pick a corner like my old leopard gecko did

Hello, just one more idea : put a silicon(Black one) on PVC tubes then in cork bark or coco peat. But great in any case!

That's a good idea, too. How does the coco peat material hold up on the PVC (i.e., when scrubbing off feces, would the material come off, too?)

If u get PVC coated with silicone then when silicon is still fesh, put a coco peat or bark on coated tube and let it dry. it will hold it on tube realy nice.

I understand. But after it has dried and you have put it in the cage, you will likely need to clean it (e.g., gecko waste, mold, etc.) When cleaning it, will the coco beat come off?

I have no experience with this type of stuff, but am interested in checking it out...

I tried this once but the silicone never dried properly and it just ended up making a big mess. However, it could be that the tube of silicone had gone bad as it was an older tube that I had sitting in the garage for a few years.
