I have posted pictures of my new vivarium at: http://www.csicable.net/~cdodson/Geckoviv/Geckoviv.html

This is my first serious gecko viv and I mostly incorporated what I learned from my frog tanks. I thought some might find it interesting and would be interested in any feedback.

I'll put it this way. I'd live in that tank VERY VERY NICE!! Nice work with the cam to. pics came out great.

Awesome tank!!! I just built a terrarium for my giant day recently but it still needs a lot of work. Just curious but how are you using grapevine in such a humid environment. Aren't you worried about rotting and fungus with this type of wood? I would love to use it but have had bad experiences with it in the past? Beautiful day gecko btw.

That is a good question about the grapewood. I would not have used it if this was a dart frog tank. My intention here is to have a humid environment -- with some dampness in certain spots-- but not an overall damp environment. I'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Admittedly, when I saw the piece I knew it was what I looking for. Perhaps I rationalized it for aesthetic reasons.

The wood does not, however, form any part of the landscape and could be easily replaced if it rots out.

Thanks for the comments.
