added vines/leaves to terrarium

[reddmann]

So how does this look? All opinions welcome. We lined the back and side walls with leafy vines (or something like that). All fake from Big Lots. He seems to like it alot. It provides more hiding areas. I hung it to the walls to keep it from laying directly on the floor so as not to take away from floor space. The first pic is a front view of the whole terrarium. The second pic is the humid hide made from stones. We have a plastic bowl inside it with a damp washcloth that we dampen everyday. He can enter from the front or back. The third pic is the warm side with a rock hide. Thats the calcium dish in the front. And the last pic is a smaller hide in the front/middle, water dish in the back. I know its kinda blurry from the cell phone. Please comment even if you don't like it.

By the way that floor is slate tile cut to fit the habitat on top of sand so he has no contact with the sand. And the habitat is a 40 breeder.

Whoa this is a quiet forum thanks anyway.

I think it looks cool. Makes me wanna grab some of those vine things, I think my gecko might like it. Keep an eye (and nose) out for any mold or mildew with the humid hide. And if that's a non-digital thermometer as your only source of measuring heat I'd get something better. Those are notoriously unreliable.
Something else I just thought of, your gecko might try to climb that ivy so make sure he doesn't get tangled up. He may end up pulling it down, too.

Thanks everyone. And he actually did climb on it some when we first put it on there. I think he was trying to reach the top or the terrarium. But I haven't seen him climbing it lately. He just walks all through the leaves that touch the floor and he hides under them alot. And also, I do have a digital thermometer with a probe on each side. You just can make out the probes on the floor; one in front of the himid hide and one right against the warm hide. The thing your seeing that looks like a non digital thermometer is actually another hygrometer, but one of the digital therms reads humidity also. Thanks again.

Cool, but in my opinion to much plants. Sorry, don't mean to be mean.

I like the plants I think they give the background a much more real look. Simple and nice!
