I'm hoping to get a super dwarf reticulated python soon and looking for a terrarium since I sold all my snake gear after my last snake was sold a couple years ago. 4x2x2 or larger. Anybody see any good sales today for cyber monday? That can hold humidity.

I am currently redoing a store bought background.. So far I grouted and painted back side and will be also adding spray foam, grouting, scultping, and painting front as well as adding some substrated to background..

I purchased a large bottle of Matte Modge Podge to seal and want to seal the back so I can glue it into enclosure before start adding spray foam, etc..

I see people say they water it down and apply, but no one says how much to water it down.. I will be using a paint brush.. Thanks.. The photo is background I am redoing..

So I knew I wanted something but couldn't figure out how to describe it. Like my own ecosystem with plants and animals then I found this page and I am hooked, but also very much a beginner. Where to begin? Idk what ani.al I want to start with, suggestions? I think I'd like to create my own setup using foam to paint and carve. Maybe a gecko, maybe frogs. I think I'd like some sort of small water setup.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on learning. I think I want to start researching now and maybe begin enclosure setup in the new year

I'm not sure if questions can be asked here but I'm gonna ask anyways: First time reptile owner who will be getting a ball python in the next few months and I want to add a couple rock ledges for the snake, my only question is how? It's a PVC enclosure. Would I use silicone to silicone it to the sides of the tank? Would silicone even work for a rock ledge?

I recognized I have never shared my tokay's enclosure here. It's dimensions are 90cm x 80cm x 150cm. The background was made by myself with grout, styrofoam, expanding foam, acrylic paint for kids and toy sealant. It has a little water feature my gecko actually sometimes drinks from, is fully bio active with a clean up crew containing of spring tails and isopods to break down my tokays waste and some earth worms to keep the soil nice a fluffy and to transport nutrients to the roots of the plants. Most plants you see have been inside the enclosure for one and a half years when I set up the enclosure. I just had to replace a few. My tokay (his name is Gengar by the way) really loves to hangout underneath the Spanish moss on the left side but at night he's all over the place. 😁

Hi, what are some safe sealants to use for OSB enclosures? I'm making two enclosures for my two boas. I was planning on using 100% pure tung oil, but it takes so long to fully cure. These are going to be big enclosures, so not looking for anything in a spray can. Is water based polyurethane snake safe? I'm still open to the tung oil, what would be a safe solvent to mix? Thanks in advanced!

I'm starting my biggest build yet - rocky/desert background with places for cacti/succulents. Mistakes will be made, but I'm super pumped to keep learning and growing in this art.

Most of my tanks have been for tropical or arboreal lizards so it's nice to change it up!

Anyone have recommendations as to a future inhabitant for the tank?

I’m looking on alternate ways to get coco fiber on spray foam other than silicone. Tia.

Nanaki has been upgraded from their tub to a 12x12x18 until they're ready for a larger tank. What a cutie!

i’m working on setting up 2 pvc enclosures for my 2 ball pythons, my concern is that a spray foam background won’t be able to hold their weight, is there an alternative to make the spray foam weight bearing? i would really like the background to be 3d and install some branches as well and was curious if anyone has any experience with this and could shoot me a few tips, i’ve been trying to do research but there’s just so many conflicting opinions

Trying to get a good cage set up for my Children’s python if anyone has any advice or tips anything would be great, if it helps I’m in CQLD in a fairly humid and hot climate.
