Hi Everyone! I’m working on my first vivarium build for a gargoyle gecko. I’m using a exo terra 18x18x 24 My goal is to have the branches somewhat create a few different layers.
My main question would be whether light has a difficult time pushing through these stacked branches and reaching plants towards the bottom?
I think I plan on moving the right-most branch a bit more forward to create more depth, as right now I think everything looks somewhat pushed.
The black layer in the back is aquarium safe silicon. I plan on applying it on the sides in the same way, but just wanted to get a feel for how I wanted everything set up first. After that, it’s great stuff foam, silicone on top, followed by cocoa fiber/a little sphagnum moss.
Any general advice is greatly appreciated. I’m just trying to get a good feel for if I’m on the right track/things I need to look out for. Thank you!

I think you shouldn’t have that much of a problem with lighting. If you find that you need more light in certain areas for some reason, there’s always the option of having two lights (one near the front and one near the back) which will give more coverage
hate to say this is too small for a garg, they need minimum 36x18x18 https://reptifiles.com/gargoyle-gecko-care-guide/gargoyle-gecko-terrarium-size/
