May be a little late but Lowes sells 18"x3'x1" styrofoam in a pack of 5 sheets for 8 bucks. May be more than you need but cant beat the size and price. I think its fun building them , even tried to sell them but there isnt a big market for them.Wal-Mart sells non toxic acrylic paint as well as...

Thanks man that sound like good advice and I'll try it out. I'm still new and learning so all info is very helpful to me

This is good to know ! I was worried I was doing something wrong or he just didnt like me hahaha. He is happy as far as I know and growing like a weed so I believe he's healthy thats all that really matters

Very , very nice dragon ! Love the red . As for UVB I bought a cheap 24" strip fixture from Wal-Mart and a good 10.0 bulb from Amazon and attached it with velcro strips to the inside of the tank , you will be surprised how much they perk up and eat better with a good UVB bulb. I did cheap out on...

I've had "Niko" for going on 3 months now, he eats from my hand and doesn't have a problem with me handling him but not for long. After about 2 minutes he gets really jumpy and tries to escape and since my house isn't really dragon proof I really don't want him running the house. I handle him...

I completed this basking area / hide a couple of weeks ago. The hardest thing I found was getting the Styrofoam cut right and square. First thing I do is measure and draw out a plan, cut the pieces and put it together with toothpicks . After you get it the size you want you can take it apart...

Thanks ! I tried to put depth with different colors but I'm not an artist by any means . I love doing this so I'm trying to sell to support a hobby that's fun. Disclosure I am not trying to sell on this website because I know there is a fee to use the buy and sell feature !

Tried to go with the creepy look, still have a few plants to attach and seal but pretty happy with it. Pics don't do justice to the details. Thanks for the input guys

The polystyrene I use is found at Lowes, its 8 bucks for 5 sheets that are 3'x13"x3/4", sanded grout but lots of people prefer the non-sanded , I like the sanded because of the surface it creates. Non toxic acrylic paint from Wal-Mart and Mod Podge to seal. The most expensive thing is the grout...

Hey: I started building my own décor with the exception of food and water dishes with polystyrene and so far I've done a decent job, built a small basking area and a few other things but I ran into a problem.... I'm not very creative haha I build them well but when it comes to colors and...
