How did this turn out? Hubby and me want to make a really natural environment for our new gecko, so I have been looking for ideas, but nobody seems to say how everything ends up. Thanks. I bet it looks great.
So I finally received an email from the website allowing me to retrieve my account and update this post. Since I started I changed the vivarium to accommodate tropical arboreal geckos, day geckos were the main thing in mind. I just have the waterfall to finish then I can finish planting and call it done
Well, seeing as I haven't updated this thread in over 2 years, I figured I might as well. I ended up going a different route with what I was putting in, I decided that with the height of the tank, I wanted to put arboreal geckos in instead of terrestrial. I went with Mourning Geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris), I've had to tank running for almost 2 and a half years, I introduced the Mourning geckos around 9 months ago, a total of 4. I've had sightings of 2 separate babies thus far. The tank has a temperature gradient of 88-70 Fahrenheit. There is a water feature and a misting system to keep the humidity up. There is also a T5 light fixture along with a incandescent light to help the plants.

Because heat rises naturally, it's important to locate vent(s) LOW down on the cool end/side & HIGH up on the opposite warm end/side.
