this is the finished rock wall. the next step I need to do is sand the entire cage, then paint it a light brown. When all of the work is completed, I will add the geckos and some air plants.

I suggest that if you are using air plant fixant that you fix the plants in place about 2 or atleast 1 full day before adding geckos as to dry fully it takes some time, and the geckos will probably end up knocking them over lol... trust me I know. So otherwise I'd suggest using something a bit sdtronger and faster setting... I like to use a tiny blob of glue from a hot glue gun to afix airplants... The enclosure is getting on very well, I can really see now that it's going to be very nice, show us the finished product when you're done

Thats alright I'm just looking forward to seeing the finished product, it looks like its going to turn out quite amazing :) Oh and one other thing i forgot to mention is that maybe you should also as far as possible keep the plants out of direct light and / or the extreme temperature areas of the viv as mine have died in those areas, partly because in heat they need more water but it can get hot like in summer outside that when the plants are wet the leaves get burnt.

I did get some sand on the ground, not on purpose though. I took childrens play sand and used that to prevent impaction.
