It looks nice from what I can see. When you can some artificial greenery always looks nice a doubles as extra hiding places. I mostly use ExoTerra vines, but also greenery from other sources. If I cut it apart, I put hot glue over any sharp ends.
 
Dave is all settled in and exploring!!

Congrats on your new little one! Very pretty.
Make sure after a shed you check it carefully. If it seems to be in one piece check from the nose to the tail. If there seems to be something missing it could still be on Dave. The tail is a common shed problem.
 
I see a bulb in the cage, is that the heat source or is it for light? If it's for heat - you can get by with it, but it's not the best setup, and there's some fire hazard..
Dave might benefit from an undertank heater if you don't have one yet.

The cage setup looks great, I second climbing sticks, and if you wrap it in some vines, your little guy will hide out in them!

I see no problem with the caged bulb as long as the protective cage is secure. We all know that the set ups common in the UK are different that the "glass box" set ups we have here in the US that easily accommodate under tank heating. Often the wooden vivs don't easily or safely accommodate an under tank heater.

I would love someone who is an experienced keeper in the UK or continental Europe to explain more about their set-ups. It won't stop us 'mericans from speaking out of turn, but perhaps it could help.
