I apologize again for the delay but hopefully you understand why there was so much editing and voice over to add haha.

My thoughts exactly, I'm doing that from now on when I'm not using @ClintsReptiles gorilla glue method

@Shaden0040 3 года назад

Here is a tip I learned from Serpe Design, place empty plant pots (one size larger than the potted plants you want to add to the scape (Usually epyyphites like bromeliads) and the top and sides of the bottom of the pot to the glass and once dry foam over them leaving an opening on the bottom for drainage and leaving the top open to place the potted plant into it as a holder. This way if the plant fails and dies you can replace it with something else. You can make vines from rope by coating hem in silicon and rolling them in coco fiber and again siliconing them to the branchesuse more coco fiber substrate to cover the silicon. You can wrap any climbing vining plants among them like pothos or oak leaf climbing fig.

@JupiterJamie 2 года назад

Great rope/vine idea! I actually came up with incorporating pots into the background all on my own amazingly LOL

QOTD: I would make a drylok background for my corn snake since his terrarium doesn't currently have any kind of background. He loves climbing so having a rough uneven background with lots of crevices and maybe even a cork tunnel on it would be a great upgrade for him.

I have been watching a lot of Serpa Design videos aswell as Biotope Gallery lately, taking plant cuttings and putting together a list of materials in preparation. I want to design a paladarium for a frog I know, but I can also see myself very frustrated and feeling in over my head trying to incorporate housing for the pump. Very cool to see your first build!

They would be great for a dart frog tank. :)

This will give the phone something clean and adhere to the first time attempting it might spray foam. Came completely off the glass. Best to give it plenty of anchors the rest on and hold on to on top of siliconing the edges when dry

@Reptiliatus 3 месяца назад

Glad I could help! Two year update, I think the method works really well although I've recently decided to start using compressed cork panels/tiles as they are easier to use and don't take awhile to clean/cure before plants will grow on them. In my experience it took months for plants to grow on the drylock (supposedly due to something in the motar paints) so just keep that in mind!

@jenniferschaefer2328 2 года назад

It's a great idea to use the tool he did. You can find rotary tools pretty cheap, and what he uses was one with a pen-like attachment that helps getting into smaller spaces (decent generic versions w/ the attachment are only about $25-30). This idea also helps make the foam look more natural. After cutting away alot of foam myself with various blades/tools, the time & effort saved is definitely worth getting a rotary tool w/ that extension attachment like he used!

@jenniferschaefer2328 2 года назад

I agree! I figure my long hair that has gotten stuck into anything just adds to its "natural" look lol. Along with that tidbit, I'd also suggest starting the foam application, as well as dry foam cut-away or sanding, beginning in the very back or furthest away areas first. This helps prevent stuff getting in/touching wet foam or accidents happening.

@jenniferschaefer2328 2 года назад

Whether you use drylok or silicone, you could still cover either one with coco fiber/peat on top if you like the look. I think the big difference between silicone/coco fiber or his drylok method is which look you like (physical dirt-type texture or a smooth coated look, respectively) and then ease of application. The drylok seems faster and definitely not as messy.

@dillsnickle 2 года назад

I don't keep and don't really have an interest in frogs, but I'm a big fan of the husbandry practices and enrichment that's common among frog keepers. I'm drawing inspiration for my own current and future reptiles, mostly snakes. However, I do love the features in these dart frog tanks and i think it would be perfect for a crestie bioactive, and I think the enclosure for it would be a good test run before just going for in in a 5ft vivarium, lol, especially the background technique. My two ball pythons are in 4 footers right now, but when I upgrade them to bioactive, i'd like for them to have something bigger, especially since one of them is particularly active. So, if the test viv (i'm thinking 18x18x24) does well, i would like to put a crested gecko in it, and i'd have the confidence and experience to tackle something bigger :)

@dillsnickle 2 года назад

I think my main concern with attempting to do a background a larger enclosure is going to be the weight, especially since i'm hoping to stack them.

@LukeMcGuireoides Год назад

Be sure to wait a full three hours for foam to cure before turning the tank to foam the next side. I turned it too soon and after I had nearly finished foaming the next side the wood and foam in the first side began to sag and some cork came off. If you plan to do this, get an extra can of foam, just in case you might end up needing it.
