I always interested in seeing everyone's set-ups... And it so slow here right now... I'll start. (Critiques welcome)

looks pretty good, what're you keeping in it?
the only thing i would suggest would be to add some vines, or a few pieces of corkbark for more vertical balance/hiding areas for your geckos
here's a cage i made for my uroplatus henkeli.
i made the top part to set on a 40 gallon tall oceanic aquarium.
let me know if you have any questions, total standing height is 52 inches

flamed, that cage looks great. i wish i had your woodworking skills.

if you do a search for cage pics you should be able to find some ( i know in the past many have been posted before). ive changed my username and dont have any in the kingsnake galleries anymore, but you can see some of mine on my site. the link should be below.

it took quite awhile, and a lot of patience but i think it was worth it, my geckos love it.

Wow, very nice enclosure Flame. I wish I had the space, time & talent for that =).
For mine, I'm looking for some cork bark or grapevines but havn't really had much luck in finding something of the correct size. So far my one crestie alternates between the green plant with the thick verticle leaves & the little bush-like thing in the front (s/he likes to hide towards the bottom). I have a rather large piece of cork bark in the back of the enclosure, but I never see the crestie on it. Anton seems to like the glass best of all, and that's where s/he spends most of her time awake.

"Anton seems to like the glass best of all, and that's where s/he spends most of her time awake."
don't worry, i would say that even in the enclosure i have pictured above, that my geckos hang on the glass over 75% of the time.
i cut my own grapevine, and i also get my own bark, so size etc. is whatever i choose.

hmm... I've been thinking about cutting my own grapevine (I used to do it before b/c I used to have access to some I was sure was pesticide free).. Would it be ok to sneak some from the woods by my complex? I doubt I'd take enough for anyone to complain about... how could I clean it? Also, there's this woody vine stuff out back, looks like what I've seen used in day gecko enclosures... would that be ok for the crestie?

there are many ways you can sanitize branches.
here, i soak mine in a 1:10 bleach to water solution in the bath tub for a couple of hours after shagging off a little bit of the bark.
then i stand everything up in the tub, and put a box fan blowing directly in the branches.
you can let the air dry, or bake in the sun for a day or two to properly dry them out too.
just make sure there is no smell of bleach when you put them into the enclosure and you shouldn't have any problem.
