Looking good man, not to be a jerk or anything but to me those fake plants look kinda cheesy. But that's my opinion, you should get some real nice live ones they're not hard to find and not very expensive and would look so much better! Good job so far though!

I know they look cheesy, lol. but I would rather have something to provide good cover for whatever I put in it while the real plants grow in. The fakes aren't permanent. Just temporary.

On another note, I just ordered glass and plexiglas for the bottom panel and door. I got a little thinner plexiglas for the door, since I am going to put a bit of weather stripping inside to be a bit better closing (plus it is cheaper, ) Hopefully I can set the thing up next week.

Wow. Apparently I missed the last picture updates from the 8th. Looking good!! I like the fake plants better because then you don't have to worry about keeping them alive! And after the gecko has crapped all over them you can throw em out and get new ones!

I put in the glass panel yesterday, and the plexiglas door today. The silicone on the glass is going to take FOREVER to set, but it should be worth it. I used a plastic glue called "Plastic Surgery" to attached the hinge and knob. It isn't weld on but i am fairly confident it will work. It is basically specially mixed super glue that works on the same principle as weld on. If it doesn't work, I will make sure to let everyone know about my failure.

Hey Jim, where's pictures of the finished product with the door and glass, etc? Also, what species did you end up putting in it?
