Hi,
I'm thinking of building my own decor for my corn and have heard that plaster of paris is brilliant for this purpose. Has anyone got any photos of your own homemade decor designs?

What a cracking idea for polystyrene.
It looks well sealed in too.

Just a note though.... I know of polystyrene attracting and harbouring mites, because the gaps are like scale gaps. The mites dont eat it, but eggs can be laid in it.
Its also useful to use for trapping them if your snake has them, although its a tip, not a cure.
