Just wondering if many people use these? I've got a cliff type thing in with my leo and I find it works quite well, heres some pretty poor pictures of it

i've got real rocks stuck together to make a wall, helps bd to keep her claws short, whats it made of, foam would get ripped apart by long claws i think, looks good in yours.

Tis polystyrene (that word never looks right to me, too many y's) with sandstone coloured tile grout over it, makes a rough surface which is great when she is shedding. I don't imagine it woule last too long with a beardy though unless you used quite a thick layer of tile grout.

polystyrene? looks great but if you feed that wee fella crickets im sorry to say that they'll eat it mate, also a hotspot for mites.
not a problem if you disinfect regular tho but the crickets and locusts will eat it, sorry

I was thinking of doing something similar. Will the crickets still eat it, even if it is covered in tile grout? Is there some other way to get the fake rock effect?

Yeah tbh if you covered the poly in varnish to air seal it then add you grout and paint spray etc.. I doubt very much it will be any more of a health risk that your standard exo-terra cave. They crix aren't gonna eat it either :wink:
