My "Building False Rocks for your Enclosure" http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/falserock/ Is a good guide to building your own. Of course you can make it then to how you want it. My original design as shown in the picture is still in use even today. It has been long lasting, hard wearing...

Spike Spike was my First beaded dragon i kept wasn't the first i rescued and re-homed. But he was my First I bought way back when. He has had a lovely life. He never suffered from any form of MBD or major ailments. He was as pristine today when he died a few hours ago as the day i first...

Well sanded grout is porous and water based paints shouldn’t / wouldn’t make it water resistant; this is what you use the PVA for to seal the faux rock after it has been crafted and coloured to make it water resistant. I personally used paint and PVA for children as they have higher standards...

If when wet the PVA is becoming active i wouldn’t leave it in either. Sounds to me like maybe you have used a grout which is non-porous or your paints used to colour it have sealed the grout. So the PVA is not being absorbed into the grout, instead it’s just sitting on the top as a thin film...

Update, 2 years on.... Since first making the faux rock article for BeardedDragon.org I just wanted to give an update on how it has / is standing up. Spike has loved this faux rock from the word go. He has climbed all over it and inspected every part leaving no place unexplored even places I...

Hi Jo, Like you when i first made a faux rock i went on a hunt in the UK for products that would be safe. Dani's post is great and well worth looking into and i would consider using Dani's advice in my next build. But in the UK the choice of products is not as extensive as the US so at the time...

Hi Michelle, Thanks for the concern, yes she has done time in quarantine. To tell you a little more about us we have been rescuing, keeping and breading reps for over 25 years. We have great backup from a good vet, from the local pet store owner who I’ve personally known for over 30 years we...
