Hello all, I'm in the process of creating a fake build for my corn snake vivarium. I plan to create a tree with branches coming from the trunk for the snake to climb up etc. My question is, what do you guys use to put over the expanding foam? Do you just paint it or do you cover it in grout...

I have just had a "scammer" try to get money out of me. This was a classic scam and frankly I could see it from the first email, this was done via email, probably picked up off preloved but they will try from anywhere. I was not sure where best to post a warning but felt it best to warn any...

Hi, I want to get some fake plants to put in my lizard vivs and the snake tubs. I would buy the ones from reptile shops but I think they are quite expensive for what they are. I have read that you can buy decent ones from dunelm. Are they good quality and good value for money? Is there...

I'm currently redesigning my boa's viv interior for a big face lift. So at the moment I'm scouting for anything in terms of fake branches or even tree's that can support the full weight of an adult BCI. I'm open to any suggestions for DIY work but not a very crafty person but hey, I'll have a...

Hey everyone, I have recently finished my first fake rock structure build, and I have been researching various sealants on this site and I think "Thompsons water seal" sounds like the most viable option for me. This is due to me doing a mini build in the past for my bearded dragon which I...

Being a perfectionist, whenever I see threads on here that are "rock backgrounds" made from polystyrene, grout and painted/drybrushed I can't help thinking that they all look pretty similar - and not a huge amount like rock :lol2: I needed to find a way to make a rock wall background for my...
