I would like to make a background for my Childen's python, its just the matter of getting what i need, and thats the question, what can i make it out of? where can i can it? what paint can i use, or do i use something else to colour the background?
And also, whats good to use on the bottem of a enclosure for a Children's python, I believe sand isn't good, Would bark be a good idea??
Thanks for your help.

Though I have a Blue Tongue Skink, I have a foam rock background, but since he can climb straight up it (-.-) I have it stuck to the Outside of his glass enclosure

they use foam and cover the foam with different stuff like expando foam and tile grout
I'm planning on making a realistic enclosure with a realistic (foam) sandstone rock backround and use native aussie plants, and a bark/sand substrate mix for my diamond!!
i cant wait to start http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/falserock/
