Sure. It was pretty easy, but time consuming! I used Great Stuff Gap Filler and put pots into it so I could plant it. Then I covered it with black silicone and then added ground coconut husk fiber (Bed-A-Beast), while the silicone was still wet. The orchid is pinned to the foam background with a piece of galvanized wire, and the tillandsia on it was stuck into a hole w/silicone. You have to let the gap filler cure completely before using the silicone. You can cut off excess foam as needed. After the silicone dried, I vacuumed out the rest of the coco-husk and and did touch ups. I got the idea from this site: Front-Opening Showcase Vivarium How-To

VERY nice looking geckos! I have a pair, and love them to death! Beautiful colors, no? I even appreciate the females because they're so subtle. I love your set up - I'll soon be doing that and have some things on order to fulfill my dream! 
(grrr, my signature isn't showing .. any tips?)

They are definitely gorgeous! I made the terrarium with these guys in mind. I started making it in January, planting it February all the way through March (had to order some plants), and finally got them in it this week! It took a while, and LOTS of $, but it was WAY worth it!

Here they are eating some mealworms which turned out to be almost too big for them!

How much
I know I am getting on this post a little late, but would you mind giving me an idea of how much these little guys cost and where you purchased them?
Thanks!

I purchased them from an importer that was selling them on kingsnake.com. They were $165 for the trio shipped. I had to wait over a month before the importer had enough females for a trio. I've seen them at a lps for $200 a pair (and wild caught at that). A few years ago, they were $1000 a pair! But now they are cheaper. I really hope enough people breed them to end the exporting from Tanzania. I may have babies in a couple months. I have three eggs in the incubator, but they may go bad (2 fell, one was dislodged), so we'll have to wait and see. I will be selling all of the babies my trio produces. They should be mite free too (unlike the majority of WC specimens). I will be posting them for sale here and on my website Welcome to ATX Geckos!

I got mine at the local Pet Zoo - but they don't usually carry them. I guess they were expecting dwarf newts or something, but got three L. williamsi by mistake. Unfortunately, it was 2 males and a female, so they had to separate them. I bought a pair for $100 each.
I also have eggs, but she only laid one at a time - I have 2 eggs about a month apart. If they hatch, I'll most likely be selling the babies.
