I really like Exo Terra stuff. Their hides would go well with your current theme. Petco and Petsmart won't have everything though so you may have to go to a reptile shop or order online :)

This is great for a moist hide. At least a medium, but large would be more comfortable. The large is HUGE though. I wish there was a medium large. LOL

My leos also LOVE the magnetic den. I recommend against using the outer piece though because the magnet is really strong and could snap on a toe or something. I use the smallest sticky heatpad to cover it instead. Petsmart does sell these.

for the two big tiles they are set right on top on the glass, i had to do a bit of chipping on the edges to get them to fit just right and then scraping the sharp edges on the sidewalk to get them flat haha, as for the middle there is a thin layer of sand with the two small pices of slate on top and filling all the cracks with sand, i used a small paint brush to work the sand into all the cracks, worked great
