I've been trying to find a background peice to fit my enclosure size (1200mmLx900mmH) to give my Diamond enclosure a more natural wild look, but i can't find one to fit it, i've found some really nice ones, but there either not long enough or not high enough to cover the whole back.
So i was thinking of making one, does anyone know how id go about doing this? |

I've just used it to build a rock climbing wall for the back of my Stimmie's enclosure.
I am the LEAST creative/handy person around and I had a really good time building this. The guys at the hardware store all got to know me because I kept coming in to get more materials etc. It's really cheap - just use styrofoam from the local fruit shop - buy some cheap grout and PVA and you're pretty much done! And you can make it perfectly suitable for your snake (ie I did mine with loads of crevices and overhangs for hiding - a big basking rock, and covered the final layer with desert sand for a really great texture and colour.)
I will post pics of mine soon! But in the meantime, I highly recommend these instructions! http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/falserock/ |
