DIY hide and branch

[gardinator]

Hey they look really good. You did a great job. Wouldn't it have been easier to just get a real branch though?

yeh it probs would of been easier to get a real branch but i have alot of polystyrene lying around so i just thought id make one to fit the enclosure perfectly!!

Oh okay cheers. Sounds awesome. Love your work. I really look forward to more photos and also, trying something similar myself.
I made a ladder [snake perch] the other day. A bamboo, silicon and string one. Pretty proud. Just want to get more into the DIY now!

sounds good can u post a photo please

There ya go I plan on making more, ones with leaves entwined too. Mondays are generally a day full of lack of motivation for me though. So not today.

aww thats nice as i bet it loves climbing around it. ill post now my full enclosure and my snake enjoying it that i just got 2 days ago

Wow. Very nice work Cheers for the images, don't be afraid to upload more. Hehe. Love it. Looks like the snake does as well.
And thankyou very much- but it's yet to be used. Don't know who/or what I'm going to have in this/that enclosure [which the ladder is in for the pics] yet.
This has just inspired me even more to get into some foam work.

It might go to one I already have or I may save it for a new addition, not sure yet.

Love your paint job.

[gardinator]

thanks guys. yeh im in the process of trying to find a nice big tv cabinet that ill convert into a enclosure and im going to do a full rock wall all the way around with a waterfall n stuff at the bottom ill take heaps of photos and put them up when its all done. it should look great

Th woodstock cans look authentic great job :lol:

But seriously they look great, if you had said it as a log from your backyard I would have believed you.

 

[feathergrass]

just curious the log is it waterproof ( no nothing about diy) am looking at trying to make a log for my enclosure one that will stand being washed and stuff

 

[gardinator]

well i dont think its waterproof i would have to use pond tight or something but yeh i can clean it with water n all but i dont think it would be a good idea for me to soak it.

yeh the woodstock cans didnt take me that long to make lol
