Thanks all, this is my very 1st viv and never had a reptile before so it's good to know I'm heading in the right direction.
I've ordered some bendy vines, but not sure what to do about more plants, don't wanna overcrowd it. Might add a trailing plant up top to hide the background edge.
Also ordered the heating equipment, a exo terra lamp, 60w infrared bulb and a microclimate day/night stat.

Looks good but before you put the substrate in you might want to spin the background around, because it only has those cut outs at one end so if you spin it round and then cover the holes with substrate then the crickets and geckos wont be able to climb down the back.

They are so you can easily feed cables for sensors etc into the viv. I planned to put waterproof duct tape over them.

The background isnt stuck in or anything so its very easy to just take it out and move it around. And if you are using some sort of soil/coco fibre substrate it should be easily deep enough to cover the holes in the background.
