and my mom has a big spider plant that im going to cut a small spider plant off of.

and it will have some drift wood logs in it too

so what do you all think? when i finish it ill post lots of pics but first i need to get all the plants and everything right and do the tank.

Wow. That'll look awesome. What kind of gecko is it?

Cool, you will have fun setting it up. I would switch to a soil substrate. You can then plant directly into it and it would be healthier for the roots then the Bed-a-Beast. Maybe try and grow some moss on it as well?

the Selaginella - Kraussiana "Gold Tips" (4th link down in the plant links) says it is a good grown cover. i am hoping it will spread across the whole ground and be instead of moss.

what kind of soil? all the soil stuff i have seen in the stores has the white beads and fertilizers in it. i dont want that stuff in my cage.
