To be honest it's not seen a great deal of use as a stat - the vents in the top of the cool end let out most of the excess heat on that side, so the fan system is only really there to freshen things up a little, and for the summer on hot days.

Overall I'm still really happy with how it turned out; using the sand / resin mix has made a huge difference to Spyro as it makes it a lot easier for him to get around and to climb up onto his shelf to perch on. It does mean that the locusts can freely walk around on the sides of the cage now though, which makes feeding time a bit more interesting...

flicked through your thread reading bits and looking at you viv is very impressive. how much time do you think you put into it in total. and hope spyro liked it after all that effort.

Would a finish like this be ok for Cresties?

Erm... lots...?

I didn't really keep track, but it would be an hour or two most evenings for a good few weeks in total, plus some afternoons on weekends. It took a while but it's totally worth it for the difference it's made to Spyro!

I'm not sure as cresties aren't really my thing - it feels like rough sandstone, so may be a little too rough for cresties? I'm sure they'd cope with a few rocks made like this but if you were to do the entire cage you might want to look at using a smoother finish for it.

So, in total, how much would you say this cost you? Not cheap I am guessing :P
