Collared Tank

Wow incredible looking. How did you make that background a site anything you can recommend?
It looks like a zoo enclosure.

Thanks a lot i dont think its all that great but o well. Anyways heres how i made it, The first thing i made was the caves,I made these out of wood and you can barely see one on the right. Theres three caves in the whole tank. Once i had those made i started spraying great stuff foam all over the place. Until i had a whole bunch of little rock looking bumps. Once that had all dryed i started covering it with mortar or tile adhisive. You can get it at a hardware store for like 2 dollars a bag(it comes in 50 pound bags) i mixed that and coverd all the hides and put play sand on it before it dried. After it dried i used polyacrilc and panted the whole thing and put sand on it again. Once that dried i recoated the polyacrilc and let it dry. And thats about it after that i just put some wood here and there and a water dish. Its really not that hard this is my first attemp at making sandstone looking back ground. If you would like i can put a picture of the whole terrarium.

Great stuff foam is the name of the actual product? The background to me looks real natural.
I am getting a Mex king soon and since have a large enclosure for it would like that look for the background.
I dont have the ability to build anything but my dad will try it first on a small extra 5 gallon tank we have than see how that goes.
He knows all the stuff you bought but the spray foam he didnt so wanted to make sure thats it.
thank you

Ya its the great stuff expanding foam in a can. Its really simple to do.

Thanks for the info we are going to look for it . I think now that I think about it I may have seen it at the hardware/lumber yard place.
