Some shots of the inhabitants, Phelsuma Klemmeri





This one's from about a week ago, gravid female on the glass. You can see the eggs through her belly. She's since laid in some of the bamboo.

Definitely an enhancement to your living room, and the geckos are really cute. If you are considering tinkering with the setup, here is an esthetic suggestion: The straight lines of all those bamboo poles seem to me out of place with the curves of your background and the plants. (They remind me of those pictures you see in movies of treasure rooms protected by red laser beams criss-crossing the space.)

Why not get some nice tree branches of appropriate size and have them project outward from the walls, as if they were growing from trees that are "off stage," just beyond the walls of the vivarium. Of course, if the geckos like going into the hollow sections, you wouldn't want to take that away from them. Maybe leave a piece or two of the bamboo lying around, or provide some other form of hidey-hole.

Or maybe as a simpler option, wrap some vines around the bamboo to distract from the straight poles. Would be much more cost effective, and you could vary the amount of leaves on the vines as they twist around the bamboo. Just a thought. but again, LOVE the concept and the end product looks incredible

Yes, I think vines on the poles would improve the appearance also. Of course, I don't mean to imply that it's not already a very nice-looking vivarium.
