Where can I get the materials to make my own hide in the UK?

Hey guys. Looking every where to buy materials to create our own hides for our geckos. Can't see too many things. If there were any tips on how to create the hides and where people got their foam and grout would be much appreciated. X

styrofoam sheets, you can layer them in small sections to create domes or little buildings. you place grout on top of it and seal it with a non toxic sealer and let it sit for 48 hrs.

For tips and instructions, you might want to try out http://www.lizard-landscapes.com/. It's a guy from the US so the materials might be slightly different, but the instructions should be the same. Plus there's tons of ideas. Good luck with your project :main_thumbsup:

Not sure in the UK, I would imagine home improvement stores since it is used for insulation. It may be labeled polystyrene instead of styrofoam. Other than that I've used old disposable coolers that are made out of the same material. Hope this helps
