Thanks guys, found some on a few websites so will get some in a few weeks
Posted some pics of a gecko I am hoping to get in the morphs thread if you guys could help identify it
Freep ~
I would love to see some photos of your vivarium when it is complete!
Not much on various morphs, but I'm sure somebody is.

Ok you guys might think I am a bit mental but I like to do things a bit differently lol.
It's a bit colourfull but thats what I want...
This is the start of my viv, I have a lot of things coming in the post so this is just the start.....
in the post I have:
I have more wood branches to reach to the top of the viv and fill in the higher space.
some smaller wood pieces to glue in for ledges.
Real plants to keep in pots and fill up the bottom area a bit.
Some pretty red maple fake vines to cover the top with cover.
A bendable jungle vine to hang all over.

Hi Freep ~
What a colorful enclosure! Thing is your crestie may not use that cage furniture in the way that you have planned. ;-)
A crestie kinda "flies" through the air like the man on the flying trapeze. My mature male likes hanging out on his ~6 inch long bamboo basking bar that's suspended horizontally ~2 inches below the screen top.
About the lighting: Is that just for the picture? The lighting on my crestie's cage is subdued. A 25 watt incandescent on the next door cage supplies a bit of light and warmth. Otherwise the room has daylight from the windows and light at night sometimes.

I know you don't care how he uses it but the fact is that the furniture in his enclosure isn't suitable for a crestie, the furniture that you supply him with needs to be designed with him the inhabitant in mind. I love the creativity but the furniture needs to be specifically for him and there is way too much unused verticle space, there isn't enough cover for him. Sorry to be critical but the enclosures need to be what's best for the inhabitant and this isn't it unfortunately, do I think things can be added and tweaked to make it more suitable for him absolutely.
