This is a start to my collared lizard cage. I will be adding a minimum of three coats of tile adhesive in the next week and then sealing and adding colored sand for a more natural earthy look. Should be adding more photos in the near future as I progress. Thanks for looking!

I used a large 8' x 4' polystyrene sheet I picked up from Home Depot and then just hand shaped the pieces how I wanted them using a standard kitchen knife. Thank you for all the compliments!!!

Hey question? How did you get the foam to stick to the other foam? I was building a tree and used liquid nail and it ate a hole right through the foam? THANKS ERik

I used a hot glue gun to apply all the pieces of polystyrene. Thanks.
