Thanks Chunky
that background is made up of slate and coco mats (for hermit crab habbitats). Both slate and mats are siliconed to the glass, and the mats have bird netting pulled across it. The netting is then filled with frog moss. There are also a couple of big pieces of cork bark glued to the glass as well. After the silicon had cured, I inserted the airplants into the nook and crannies, and filled in any gaps betweent the glass and the background materials with foam that is used to secure pond stones (this would prevent the crickets from getting away from the toads and hiding in the gaps).

my gecko had to be misted every day and he also stuck to the side of the tank and stuff
soo um, no.. not all geckos are desert lizards.

Good point. The geckos are a large family, and there are many rainforest geckos that have similar requirements to those of rainforest treefrogs; same goes for temperate geckos and temperate treefrogs.

when you house different herps together you introduce different gut bactiria and most of the time one will end up dead. also, their are really not two herps that will have EXACTLY the same needs, so you will always be sacrificing the needs of one.
The same things are true of fishes, and yet they are successfully kept together all the time. It is quite possible to keep different herp species together, provided they are compatible.
Ok, to answer Lupin's question, here is a recent pic of my paludarium. I will get shots of fish and toads later. The philodendron has taken root inside the hollow cork branch and has dropped roots into the water as well. The ferns have now become established in the dirt part of the tank.
