New crestie vivarium! (lots of pics)

I just got finished making a new vivarium for my crestie.The tank is about 37 or so gallons, and measures 12 inches wide, 36 inches long and 20 inches high. I have 2 bromeliads, a wandering jew plant, a bunch of bamboo and some live moss. I was going to put in some pothos, or philodendren, but I read up about them and they both are supposedly toxic, if ingested, so I dont think I want to risk it. Anyways, heres the pics.







Camera shy















And the little guy







I still havent named him, any suggestions??

Comments, suggests or whatever are definately welcome on the new tank.

Enjoy.

Thanks a lot. I just hope the plants do good in there. This is the first time Ive had live plants in a tank before, so hopefully it will work out.

Very nice habitat. At first glance they always look like they have moss growing on them. How about the name Mossimo?

Thanks a lot guys! Yeah, I though it might be a female, the breeder said its a male, but I never sawany bulges or anything. I alctually was also hoping for a female, incase I want to get another female and keep them together, if they got along. He/she is about 6 or 7 months old, at approximately what age is the average crestie sexable.

Thanks again guys!

This looks very nice.
If I may give some advice,crested geckos live in trees and like to hang on to smaller leaves.
They also don't like to take their food and water from the ground.The water dish seems a bit too big,insects might drown in it.Crested Geckos love to lik waterdrops from the leaves,as they do so in the wild.Make sure the humidity is never below 60% and go higher (80% and up) for the night.
I breed crested for a few years now with great succes,any questions you might have,I'm happy to answer them.
I hope you didn't mind me telling you all this.But I just feel that it is always best and most succesful in keeping reptiles,if you go by nature as best as you can.
For my crested terrariums I use ficcus benjamin plants,because they look as close to the habitat of new caledonia as possible.They love to climb around the small branches and between the leaves, where they feel safe.
Thanks.

Yeah I agree I just saw a crestie the other day and it loved all the little leaved plants...What about the name Jumpy? Or Hopper?
