Need some feedback on my Phyllurus platerus cage

Well I just put together this cage its 16 by 16 by 20 inches (wxlxh). For my pair of Phyllurus.

I made the background out of greatstuff then coating it with black silicone then covering that with peat moss, the cork is held in by the greatstuff and their is a cork tube in the top center.

Then there is about 2-3 inches of peat moss as substrate in the bottom for the female to lay her eggs (fingers crossed).

Just wanting to see what you guys think of it, any improvements I couls make.

I think it looks really good Derek, simple yet very creative. Maybe consider adding a smaller rock in between the two support rocks just for a little more cover and privacy.

Thanks, I was thinking about shoving another cork hollow in there, also make me feel better about keeping the cross rock more secure.

Keep the feedback coming, I really appreciate it :)

Thanks Derek

Thanks Everyone, yeah I tried adding some vertical rocks but unless I siliconed them to the bottom I don't feel comfortable with them as they could fall.

I will add a another cork hollow and maybe another smaller rock depending on floor space.

Thanks Derek

Very nice.

Actually I try to use more and more cages (Terry Thatcher's) and not terrarium, same as for my cameleons.

I'm very happy with this solution, it is easier to keep a temperature gradient, just look out to spray more than once a day. I use it for U. pietschmanni, New Zealand's geckos and Phyllurus too.

I think it could be optimal for Rhacodactylus and Eurydactyloides too.
