Ahh thanks - I had seen it, but I will read it in more detail now!

Yeah I think I'll grout all the tiles in, and I can always regrout if they get stained?

I am almost positive you would find a grout sealer right next door to the grout in most hardware shops, this is not the grout booster but a sealer you can apply after the grout has dried.

I am using tiles like THIS, in the Sorrento colour, for the walls! Will look awesome I hope!!

I love the look of this stuff.

One issue you might have is the weight it adds to the enclosure. I ended up purchasing a hand trolley after building my last enclosure and using porcelain tiles on the floor.

Hmm well our enclosure is 6 foot tall, 4 foot long, 2.5 feet deep... Solid wood, stained deep cherry, and has Two enclosures inside (both will be fully tiled)... So I think it will be REALLY heavy, but I don't think the tiles will make that much difference overall LOL!

Yeah I think that those tiles will look great, and the baby beardie will have fun climbing them!

Oh - and if I have that wall, and the beardie can climb it, will it need a cover on the MegaRay?

Thanks!!

just have the megaray closer to the front then the back.

that wall is amazing.. its expensive isnt it?

 

[dailyskin]

The Megaray is wired to be in the middle... So I guess around 9 inches from the back? Is that ok??

Yeah it's expensive... Costing about $300 to do the walls for both enclosures... But looks great huh?! And fun for climbing LOL!
