First build

So this is my firts time posting on here and my first build with live plants. I am going to let it grow in a biit then add a few vines and branches then add a crested gecko. It measures 24x18x18. Let me know what you guys think about this set up.

Hey Olafsson- welcome to the forum.

The tank looks good, but I have a couple questions. First, is perlite OK for crested geckos? I know it's to be avoided with other animals that may construe it as food and ingest it. Second, perhaps some climbing space might be appreciated? I'm sure a couple more branches would go a long way.

You're off to a great start, though.

Thanks there guys I completly forgot about the pearlite, I was so concerned with chemicals added that I overlook that one. I am glad that I posted the pictures as well. I also planted a large leaf plant in the back, again I am waiting a few months before I put in a gecko just to allow everything to grow up and see from there what it was missing.
