That looks like a nice home for a crested gecko. What size exo-terra is it?

Sorry for the old bump, but could I possibly get a list of items for that tank? Are those plants all alive? Vines, etc? Huge thanks!

hey man thanks for the interest! i really appreciate it.
i wish i could help you out but i'm a newb too so i really don't know the names.. if annyone else could help that wold be great.
as far as your other question. the vine is an exo-terra med. size vine. the stone wall is stock and cam with the tank, the two hanging plants are fake. they are both exo-terra, on is a pot leaf type plant and the other is really small but fits nicely i think. in the back right corner is a peace lilly with the flower cut off... but it died recently so i don't recommend that! (looked nice and prolly would of survived but i watered too much and it didn't evaporate)
front right is a snake plant... but the bird's nest version. thats doing really well and ads a nice shape to the tanks. front left i'm not too sure of. peat moss substrate and a rock shaped water dish. theres a piece of cork bark behind the pot leaf thing.. to get it to look all vined through the top middle i actually just stapled a few leaves there. i think it add quite a but and makes it look more alive.
hope this helps. fell free to keep bumping this up! i like the attention!

also i added a few pothos, and bamboo after this picture. the bamboo (lucky bamboo) is were the peace lily was but is too new to tell if its good or not.
but the pothers is great! i love this plant. it recently sprouted a new vine and is doing great. when i dug up the lily i found a bunch of really long pothos roots so i know it will be fine for a while!
