Hello all...I have seen quite a few of I have built your own backgrounds for your vivs and I would love to give it a go for some of mine. I am just wondering whether you build onto the viv or build something that you can take out for cleaning? Also what have you found are the best/cheapest materials to use? Also one of the vivs I want to build for has shelving (viv exotic bearded dragon home for life) how would u advise building around this?
Thank you |

I am considering using something like this as a background. My only real concern is working out a way to fix it so that I can easily remove it for cleaning but Rosie will find it hard to get stuck behind it.

not done a background my self yet, but if you look on the 'darkside' there is some one who has done custom fake rock backgrounds for his snakes and they look amazing. From the research I have done a lot of people use king-span over polystyrene sheets, fix it to the back of the viv and make up the layers in the style they want then a good few layers of grout, then paint it. You could cut a hole the size of the shelf in the sheet and then just slide it into place. |
