The wife has had the idea of wallpapering the the two inside sides of the vivarium.

I'm sure the paper itself is safe as paper substrate is fine, but how would you guys suggest affixing it?

I want to make my viv not look like every other viv out there (i'm painting the outside of it something other than beech/oak)

One of these days I might even get a snake to go in it :(
Bring on payday!

Cheers

Although I would probably get the wallpaper laminated first so you can wipe it down.

Ah yeah, lamination, good idea!
I guess paint would be a bad idea?

Are yo buildning the viv your self? we put out backgrounds on brfore we put the stack together and the sides hold it in place. We used aquarium backing coz it's already waterproof but i'm guessing Vinyl wallpaper would be OK too.

Aquarium backing paper sounds like a good idea to cheer up my corns viv. May just have a go at that. TVM!
