This is the terrarium and background I built for my leopardgecko's. I am just finishing it.

that is quite the setup. Very nice

WOW!!!

Looks very nice, is it carved from a single block? Also what did you use for shaping/carving, the cuts look very clean, something heat based?

 

[Acidix]

Its carved from a few blocks. I used a styrofoam cutter. Thats a heat based device indeed. Works perfect.

I like this... it looks really natural. Can't wait to see how the finished terrarium looks. Are you adding substrate and foliage? What size were the foam pieces you used?

Your geckos are spoiled. lol

p.s. Great craftmanship, very beautiful setup!

As a substrate i am using sand which i mix with loam so it gets very hard after it dries. Or maybe i make a rocky bottom, which I can take out and clean easily.

You can use any size styrofoam you want. By glueing them together you can create the basic shapes and then cut them with a hot wire cutter or a hot knife.

When it's finished i'll put some fake desert plants to cover up some of the bad spots where the sand didnt stick. I hope its all finished this saturday, Houten expo is this Sunday and I am picking up my gecko's there. I do have a 60*40 and a 50*40 terra which could act as temp homes tho.
