My bearded dragon is about 8 inches long and is a juvenile. His name is toothless. He has a 65 gallon terrarium and it needed some habitat to make him feel more acclamated. After seeing what the pet stores charge for basking platforms I decided to build my own rock or basking platform. I used styrofoam, child safe grout, non toxic acrylic paint for outdoor use, and modge podge spray sealant. I hope he likes it.

I have to admit I really love this little guy. I bought him for my son but I am the one who has fallen for this little guy. I lost him for 36 hours and now I'm even more protective. Love love love him!

That looks awesome! Very well done! I am looking to start building areas for my beardie to climb as well using styrofoam!

I have to ask, what do you plan on using to clean the basking area you made? I am afraid of when it comes to cleaning day that scrubbing a home made one with soap and water will break it or rub off the coating. Along with if using another disinfectant will just eat straight through the styrofoam. This is the only thing keeping me from building one for my beardie as well! :?

I sprayed several coats of sealant and Sealed the grout before painting it with acrylic paint made for outdoor use. These are all mold and water resistant and it's sealed to the point of being able to be submerged in water. Patience is key with the whole sealant process. I finished he last few coats with rustoleum leak-seal rubber coating. Stops cracking and makes it water-tight. Its used for gutters, roofs, and concrete. I've already washed it and it's just as the ones are in the pet store.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
