Pimp my Vivarium - Pic Heavy

[zeb123]

Good stuff, looking at that picture i get the feeling of looking at a painting. Its very strange. I like it alot!!

It looks fantastic.

I dont think it will look bad if you dont put a HUGE amount of detail into the painting.

It looks fantastic already

there is one thing I worry about though: will your beardie (when adult) have enough room to run around in the tank? Since they are only semi-arboreal and live mostly on the flats in Australia, I'd think they prefer large flat areas with a few climbing possibilities instead of a small patch of flat space (left bottom & perch in your tank).
Of course I don't really know how your beardie will react to the sloped walls of your piramid...

to conclude on the good side: you're idea of the floor heating is absolutely brilliant!

Thanks for the nice comments again!!! There should be room for our beardie to run around in the tank and to be honest she loves being on her branch and is very rarely on the floor so we think she will be absolutely fine. we let her out at least once (usually more) a day for a run around in the living room so she does get plenty of exercise that way as well! As previously mentioned if the worst comes to worst we can take out the pyramid, or the full item and sell it! im certain there would be buyers!!

I have started

I have gotten as far as laying the lino floor tiles and the heat mat.

I have also done the the rough buildings in poly, along with various features like the hides in one of the roofs and a hide under the stairs in one of the buildings.

Ive taken a few snaps, but I am due to go on holiday for a week, So things have ground to a halt now.

Was thinking of doing some painted patterning on the pyramids though it will take quite a while to make it look really good and time is something im running short of at the mo so may end up leaving it plain - sometimes the simple things look the best! what do you guys reckon????

That looks amazing :O well done you I would have a look at aztec patterns and designs if you are going down that road, just beware it will take you a year and a day :P
