| Iv been looking at the exo terra backgrounds for Izzy's viv. I think she is settled enough for me to give her a good thorough clean out now but the back of the viv is white and looks a bit dingy. I was going to order one of the backgrounds to cover it but got to wondering how easy it is to clean and how long it takes to dry out. Can anyone who uses this help? Also, is it ok to use 2 pieces or is one big piece better? I wouldn't want Izzy to be able to get stuck in the join but it's cheaper to get 2 45x45 pieces than 1 90x45. |

i havent a clue about price or anything (mine came with the tank!), but i use one with my crested geckos
All it is is polystyrene with a pretty shape and colours - so it is nice and easy to clean and doesnt hold water at all
i'd say use one bigger piece just incase Izzy decides to go behind it, so its easier to find her again.... or something like that
They have sort of cutout sections in the top and bottom for wires, but unless your snake is a little skinny noodle i wouldnt worry about it
i can assume they are easy to attach too - mine fits perfectly in the tank so its not stuck down or anything  |

| Thanks figs. She is certainly not a skinny noodle. She is a fatty and needs a diet and exercise regime. Think i will get a full size one to be on the safe side. |

| We use these for our leopard gecko in his new viv. We have two on each of the sides and we will be getting one large one for the back. They look awesome! They have runs down the back for wires to run up/down in too which helps them sit snug with the viv :) |
