Beardie Viv -- background and landscape

[MikeJ]

Anybody able to point me to an idoiots guide (and I really do mean idoiot...the more basic the better) for making a background etc for a 48x18x18 Viv (box type with front sliding doors)

Here's a very simple method.

Get polysterene sheets. Carve out rock pattern, or add on bits to simulate rocky out crops.

Cover in grout. 3 layers so it's nice and strong.

Paste on some PVA glue and the sprinkle on sand. Leave to dry.

Glue to back of viv.

Done.

There's other ways involving cement or paint and sealants etc.

Andy (Hades Dragons) has a good step by step guide here - http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/habit...age-heavy.html

Yep...I think that might be easy enough for me (like Andy's as well but that one seem soooooooo hard for a first attempt). So, if I go the grout/PVA/Sand route, I dont need to worry about any kind of sealing to avoid "poisoning" the dragons.
