    3D Background - Styrofoam/Grout

    He is loving the caves and is spending every night digging a new spot to curl up inside. He is not sure about the upper areas yet, or at least I haven't seen him up there voluntarily yet, but he is most active in the early afternoon when I am at work unfortunately, so he might be climbing all...

    3D Background - Styrofoam/Grout

    Hi everyone, I finally finished this project, so I thought I'd throw up a step-by-step. The first step was putting together the layers of styrofoam. I wanted it to look kind of like sandstone so I opted to create layers per the below rather than carving out of a solid block. I had several...

    The Fitz and the Fool

    Welp, it's finally finished! One shot of the last coat of paint/grout on. I sealed the bottom three layers with mod podge, as I figured that they would be in contact with the dirt, but I wanted him to be able to climb and grip easily for the rest. Also, I know my dragon likes to poop at the...

    The Fitz and the Fool

    Update on Fitz's background: Here it is after sanding down all of the hard edges and then cutting off 1/2 an inch in excess length, along with all of the materials for the next step: And after the first coat of grout has been applied: You can see that the first coat does not provide...

    Thanks, it's not a real inconvenience, I can still see the threads, just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was having the same problems. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Layout issue

    Nope all other pages, including all other forum views are normal. The only one that is off is when I'm viewing actual threads.

    Bearded Dragon help

    The only way to know whether the 50W will be enough is to set up the lighting and measure the temperatures of the basking spot, warm side and cool side and see that they match up with the guidelines (can be found on many caresheets, including the ones on this site) There are many factors that...

    Layout issue

    Not sure if I am the only one experiencing this, but it happens for me on multiple computers: When viewing a thread in the forums, the actual posts don't display until I scroll past all of the right sidebar stuff. The other layout items are fine, viewing the forums themselves and...

    New owners (to be) - Our Setup Plans for Rex

    I have a wooden viv that I built myself, 48" x 24"x 31" with three vents about 3" x 12" and a 53W halogen flood light provides all the warmth my dude needs. Usually about 110F on the basking spot, depending on how high I raise it and between 75-80F at the cool side depending on ambient...

    The Fitz and the Fool

    Yes the two spots on the left are for a veggie bowl and water bowl which are just some plastic Tupperware type containers that will insert into them and be removable for washing, they are currently on the ground in the enclosure and get a lot of dirt in them from Mr Fitz's wild antics. Thanks...

    fake rock design

    My dude still jumps down from his branch to get his crickets (often squashing a few of them) at 6 months old and 18" long. His branch is probably a good 12-14" above the substrate, but his substrate is a soft soil/sand mix (bioactive) so less concern about hurting himself jumping onto a hard...

    The Fitz and the Fool

    Thank you! Despite careful measurements, I managed to make it 1/2" too long, so I've got to shave off one side before grouting.
