DIY Foam and Grout background pictures

[nuggetcujo]

Hello everybody! I just made this for my three leopard geckos. It's in a thirty gallon tank. The male apparently likes being photagraphed while te females are both hiding. It includes three places to hide including a wet hide. All are under the platform ledges. I am thinking about building some to sell, so lt me know if you're interested.

Does anyone reccomend using zoomed excavator clay or whatever it's called. I was hoping to switch to that in clay form for the bottom, as it would look more natural and would be hard so no impaction.

Is that styrofoam? What did you use to cover it?

It is styrofoam with a few layers of grout on it. It is then painted, and sealed with acrylic sealer. It is actually got more Of a red tint to it, but the pictures don't show it.

Very nice. Unfortunetly Exscavator is not UTH compatable, thus it isnt leo compatable. It drys out and cracks and crumbles(making it loose) and it doesnt transfer heat propperly, theres a warning on the front of the package
