Hi all,
Its been a while since i'v been in the forum, been injured and had some surgeries in my knees ( been playing to much basketball :main_evilgrin
im half way to be okay :main_yes: and still smilling .
Anyway i decided to take it to the next level and build my leo (Paris ) new home, and by that i mean to build everything by myself to match exactly to my wills.
and i wanted it to be special and unique, so i got all the materials i thought i'd need ( of course i came up with new ideas during the process so i had to restock with new materials) and started working, it took me about 2 months to complete the whole thing, since from one hand i had alot of free time without working or studing because of the 2 surgeries u had the past 7 months, but i had only 2-3 hours a day to put in the project ( the rest of the day i was busy with physiotherapy) and some days i didnt have time at all, so who ever thinking of starting a project like this, i'd say GO FOR IT , its really not that hard.
Long story short, the main materials used in this project were dental cast (which is amazing and super strong) for the background. floor tiles and for coating the exterior fake rocks and for coating the hiding places which made out of polyurethane foam ( e.g - Great Stuff).
I also cutted some pieces of the 0.4 mm glass at home and some, i went to a place to cut them for me.
the orange lite is a spot like bulb but inside there are 40 little led bulbs, so this "spot" never gets hot and cant cause injury in any way:main_thumbsup: the size of the terrarium is 55cm depth by 55cm wide by 45 cm high.
under the terrarium there's a zoo med medium UTH and there are 2 thermometers (which are not seen in the pics) a cold dry hide and a double hot humid hide.
thats about it, i documented the whole process of the making and have over 100 pics of the creation and if ppl ask, i'll make a tutorial.
so here are the pics, enjoy and i hope you like it :main_laugh:
