Here's a pic of one of my Exo Terra setups, 36x18. I love these for 2-3 leos. The 18x18 Exo is nice for singley housed leos.
I use two UTH's on the right side to provide heating for two medium Exo caves and also for some heat to the Repti-shelter moist hide cave (with bedabeast). The left side has the cool hide.
I use pyrex petri dishes for my worms and calcium. I like the clear glass dishes because the leos see worm movement easily and feed readily out of them, plus they can be run through the dishwasher at high temp.
The plants are for looks and add to the setup, but they would be a pain if you feed crickets, as you have to move all that out...no biggie. I feed primarily supers in the dish. I cut a paper towel corner for the front right corner and they use that for their presents every time. I throw them out daily and replace with a new paper towel corner. I use 15 watt red bulbs in the fixture for night time viewing.
The stat I use is the herpstat and the probe cable is run behind the background into one of the warm hides. I tape down the probe with a small piece of masking tape to keep it in close contact to the reptile carpet so I get an accurate reading of the surface temp.
These Exo terrariums have a full screen top. I have pieces of clear plexiglass cut to size to cover most of the screen on top to keep temps more constant, and to allow me a working surface to place things on while working with the setup.
Hope this gives you some ideas. I love these setups and they are super easy to maintain.
