Jungle Enclosure

I like the design of your enclosure, It's nearly the same as the one I have planned for when my hatchlings reach adult size. Good job!

sneakypete, the little tank underneath, that wouldn't be its hide box would it. It's an awesome enclosure you've built

You got it. There's a fake rock in the tank with a hole in the front, that goes down to the hide underneath.
Thanks the Jungle loves it too!

hey sneakypete how did you make that backing

 

[Mudimans]

yes pete, how did you make that backing. i think i have another project coming up i love that hide idea.

hey sneakypete how did you make that backing

The back is lots of different sized pieces of polystyrene foam glued onto the board then picked at, cut, melted into shapes resembling rock. Then it is coated with a mixture of bondcrete and cement for a tough ultra hard rock like finish (2xcoats), then painted with some earthy colours and finally I brushed bondcrete over the whole thing and then sprinkled sand over it to give the texture of sandstone. Looks great but is ALOT of hard work and many hours.

For more detailed instructions and other ideas of how to do it, do a search "fake rock background" or similar on this site. I think a guy called Caveman on this site put up some very detailed instructions that I copied.

Hope this was helpful

Good luck
