Next time can you type a little more clearly. Branches outside are fine if you soak them in water then put them in the oven at 300F until they are dry.

you can use a certain type of rust-oleum spray paint. Ive seen others use it for reptile background and fake rocks. its nice because it has a natural look and is rough because it has sand or something in it. Then when thats dry you can seal it to make it animal safe

Polystyrene would work great. Just coat it with multiple layers of unsanded grout. Then paint it with a non-toxic paint, make it as detailed as you want(sponge on another color for natural rock look). Then seal it with a non-toxic sealer such as mod podge.
If your geckos are clawed then they shouldnt be able to climb on the product.
Hope this helped.
