Paludarium for my new flying gecko Boris

I had an empty tank sitting around (you know that's never a good thing ) so i decided to make a paludarium out of it. the pics are pretty bad because i used my cell phone, but you get the idea. I have added some moss and a piece of drift wood since the pics. It has some ivy, a couple ferns,a sundew, and two African violets. When i find some the right size, i will add some bromilieads to the tank. Its a 14g tall, with a waterfall. The cool part was, is that i had almost everything i needed already for the tank minus the driftwood, moss and ferns.

I went to the pet store today and saw that they got in a new shipment of stuff, so i took my time looking around..not intending to purchase anything other than some moss. I get to the reptile section, and i saw the coolest lizard i have ever seen. the owner said it was a flying gecko, that he didn't know much about it other than he got it from a local breeder a week ago and that it eats crickets and is quite aggressive. So..i went home and researched flying geckos..fell in love..and went back and bought the little guy.
(It turns out that while aggressive and fast, their bites don't really hurt)

again, the picture of Boris is terrible so here is a link of what they look like, if you cant see him: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://thehoulefamily.net/gek2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://thehoulefamily.net/Flying%2520Gecko.html&usg=__qWnjEcl31ZcWBEFBTyzB27 nEiys=&h=480&w=640&sz=58&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid= __4MW87ydjRKYM:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dflying%2Bgecko%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26c lient%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-USfficial%26sa%3DX

Neat! I wish I could have one of those. The waterfall looks fantastic!

thanks ...unfortunately i recently had to dismantle it. My little guy didn't make it. He had a bad case of red mites from the pet store unfortunately, and i think the stress of having them, as well as having them removed was just too much for him. I decided that i would just upgrade my hermit crabs crabitat instead.
