Wow, beautiful landscaping!! I just finished one of these myself, with a failed attempt at a waterfall. Oh well. I like the sleek design on this one. Nice.

I got it from a Danish vendor who often goes to Holland and brings back loads of minis! (80% of the plants on the list are from him  )
He said that it was rather rare to see it and that I really had to buy it - so I did 
He still has some I think but I doubt that he will send to the US..
It was until recently known as Kingidium chibae, and I really think it is quite different from other phals in the leaves - they are very thin and almost purple.. I'm really looking forward to see it in bloom (if I can keep it alive, and the light in the viv is strong enough )

If you ever come across some extras, let me know and I will buy. Or if you feel up to it, my P. lobbii is in full bud and I would be willing to send you some pollen??

I live in Denmark, so CITES and phyto sanitary certificates would be needed, perhaps you could ask you local orchid pusher to import one the next time he orders something from asia or the Netherlands

WOW WOW WOW, when you take the plunge you take THE plunge! I love it!
Really great orchid list too.
Beautiful green snake! Shame about the little gecko's, I love those too. I'd have to go with the fish on a platter, option. I'm a wimp.
I can't see for sure but if you don't have them, I think you're gonna need some circulating fans.
Great work. Sure appreciate your posting!

Is it ok to place the snake in such a narrow environment?

The guy from the reptile store said it was fine after i described the viv to him..
I think he said something about them living most of their lives in bushes and trees so if he was just able to get stretched out once in a while it was fine. And he crawls up and down all the time, so I guess he's fine. there's also a flat space in the top where he can lie and get heated from the lights.
I'm far from an expert on reptiles though, this guy is my first!
