PrimalRage,
Say it ain't so: you've crossed over into the dark side by having critters with legs!!! Very cool looking Geckos though.

Pirarucu, Correct and Thank you! They were $450 shipped. Kinda steep but I had a little while to set aside funds before the transaction.
Steve, Thanks man I am really excited about working with this species. They are supposedly some of the most active, brave, and colorful geckos on the planet!
Jim, Lol! I thought ball pythons are the "dark side". Its been a while since I have worked with reptiles that have limbs!!

The set up is pretty crude at the moment. I was hoping to keep it natural looking but found that was going to be hard with bamboo perches. The plants have been going for almost 4 months. I plan on putting 2 more pothos cuttings and another brom in there. The cool side temps float around 72-75, the warm side around 84-86.

Just keep planting things, it'll get there. Just be careful that nothing you put in has parasites, it will prove impossible to get rid of them. You might also try to find some thicker bamboo pieces and stand them vertically in the soil, that would help a lot with the natural look.

PrimalRage,
I think your terrarium looks great and with the live plants will look better the longer the plants have to grow. You could always add some ivy or semitropical vines that will grow quickly to fill in the gaps.
I love the color on the neon blue gecko. Please keep us posted with photos as your project matures.

looks good. I'd get some bamboo hollows for them to hang inside. Also, good luck with a top opening enclosure haha They are pretty fast

Keeping species that can't climb glass saves a lot of stress over escapes... LOL. My old flyer pair probably took a few months off of my life expectancy with their escape attempts.
