Here are just a afew pictures I had that I though I would share.
The first is George on his jungle gym. As you can see he has a half decent view. He spends hours watching the sea gulls like hes thinking "one of these days...."
Initially I just used the frame to string up my drip bottle but as George insisted on climbing all over it I bought some cheap rope and wrapped it around so he would have good grippage.
The 2nd pic is him doing his lateral compression thingy to catch more sun. I've noticed he definitely knows that darker = warmer. This dull brown is his favorite sunbathing colour. He even puffs up his throat a bit to get that little bit extra.
The 3rd and 4th and 5th is my ultimate cricket solution. I have 2 of these 5liter containers which I split each batch of crickets between, usually about 150-200 in each container. I then stuff a BIG bunch of this natural grass in each. The grass was definitely the secret ingredient for me. The more I put in the less dead crickets I have at the end of the batch. It seems to suck up any bad dead cricket gasses and other crickets juices. As you can see from the top down photo there are only about 11 dead crickets out of the entire batch. I try to take the crickets out when they die but if I forget (like I did here) the grass (and the ventilation) makes up for it.
