Mmmm thanks for the information

 

[EverEvolvingExotics]

No problem, do I see a project in the future?

 

[FLCresty]

Absolutely!! Gotta let this air out for a week, used pretty much the same materials

how it all began, my first so don't be too critical. I used a real ceramic piece of tile trim to hope that it would be a cooler spot than the other places if he got to warm, and an overseer ledge for his domain but I doubt he'll use it lol

Awesome!!! I love when I see more people trying these things out. Very nice, your crestie will love it. I usually just make mine for visual aspects, but I really like the way you utilized some extra climbing/ledge areas. I will have to try to add some next round. I've got a nice female that is ready for an upgrade to an adult enclosure. I should be making another one shortly after I get my fat tail racks done.

Here is what I made for my first male, Corwin, when he was big enough to move into an R-Zilla acrylic atrium. The pictures are older and the setup has been changed a bit, but you get the idea. Again, thanks for sharing your awesome rockwall!

Here is one I did for my bearded dragon.

 

[FLCresty]

Wow those are AWSOME!! how big is that acrylic atrium? I'm still currently deciding whether I'm goin to continue with the magnetic hide that would be on the side glass wall somewhere with a vine connection added to it. So he can climb up to it. Oh decisions decisions lol

When I finish the magnetic acrylic food and water tray, I'll post up some pics of it. Its coming out pretty good so far

 

[EverEvolvingExotics]

Thanks! It is 18X18X20. I'll be on the lookout for the ledges. Is it going to be similar to the one that Pangea sells?

 

[FLCresty]

Yea it's similar but I'm using two $1 plastic shot glasses I cut down lol

Cutting out the magnet holes, going for depth so it takes a longer time, rather than just cutting through it

 

[EverEvolvingExotics]

Very cool!

 

[FLCresty]

Yea it didnt work out, running the machine over and over streched out the holes to much, so we cut them open and I'm gonna just glue them, they aren't rare earth magnets either so it won't support an adult
