Hello everyone,
I'm building my first custom cage and background. The top picture is the cage itself and the 2nd and 3rd pics are the background I built that will b installed once finished. I'm new to building and working with Styrofoam but I think it turned out ok. What do you guys think? Anyway,I was wondering what I can use as a covering? I saw they make spray paint that looks and feels like rock but don't want to use it if it will harm my beardie. Safety is my priority with him :-D. Any and all suggestions are welcome,thanx

I'm not sure that looks sturdy enough. Adult dragons can weigh over a pound and they lurch around sometimes. It may b fine for now, but may not be strong enough down the road.

Also,the opening between the ramp and that support looks too narrow for an adult be able to go through, if that's a needed pathway.

The main thing is to think about long-term maintenance. How easy will it be to keep this clean, i.e. to remove poop from it, etc.? Can you reach all the spots, etc.?

Others will have more info on how to coat foam, I've never done that, but I know there are a lot of good videos about it on youtube.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
