Hiya,
i'm v new myself, but thought i would have a go.
Lashes - my gecko is quite jumpy, although if u constantly move yr hands so he/she can walk across them it seems to keep them quite busy. if u are worried u could always sit on the floor, until u are used to the moments.
i have fake plants, i know they arn't as amazing as real ones but they do a v nice job

when u look u can order quite a few diff fake plants, by the time u have twisted then round the vines i think they look gd. + they are very easy to clean
as far as i am aware the morphs are purely on which groups that have been bred in for partnering, mine is a green pin stripe

all morphs are brighter at night when they flare up.
I hope u have lots of luck with yr gecko!
