I’m glad I’m not the only one who started to grout then switched to my hands…. My reason was because the stuff wouldn’t stick to the corners…. Then I painted…. Didn’t like it and repainted multiple times in certain places. Also I bought one sealer and THEN bought shellac hahaha this is NOT cheaper then just buying a custom one on Etsy however….. my son needed his perfect hide so I had no choice.

Having them stacked is why toothpicks and two builds. One for testing and one for using. Sounds like unnesecary work tho whenever two builds are used the final build almost always comes out with extreme precision.

Very nice job. Going to give this a shot for my Daughter's new (and first) leopard gecko. One question I have, and my apology if you mentioned this, but how did you attach the structure itself to the tank? I would assume/think something like hot glue, but wanted to ask/confirm.
@ellesreptiles
@ellesreptiles 3 года назад
Awesome! Good luck! It's not attached, as it's pretty heavy - don't have to worry about it falling over. But you could use hot glue or aquarium safe silicone! 😊

I'm building a waterfall with a low basking spot using the same type of technique u guys used. I have it fully grouted and painted now I just have to seal it. I was wondering if the shellac is ok to use on waterfalls and still be safe for my beardies?? I want to get this project finished so my baby has it in her tank n I can then move on to finishing the huts and waterfalls for my other 3 beardies. Thanx for all ur help & advice!!!!

Is there specific lighting that leopard geckos need for their tanks?
@mariahrose5909
@mariahrose5909 3 года назад
No, but you can put a very small wattage uvb if you'd like. Like a 2.5 or 5 watt uvb. Leopard geckos don't need them but depending on the leopard gecko you have it could benefit them, some leopard geckos don't like them. Don't put lights if you have a leopard gecko with red eyes because they have VERY sensitive eyes and it could potentially hurt them as i heard.

Yea, I use just plain, chemical free, manure free topsoil for my other leopard gecko (I've also used lugarti's in the past as well) and I've been thinking about adding a dig spot to Winter's tank too, after she's done with her semi brumation that's currently happening. She just doesn't show the same interest in digging like Percy (my other leopard gecko) did before I added her dig spot.
