Hi everyone,
I am in the process of upgrading my beardie's enclosure (all of it: tank, lighting, heating, substrate etc.) Her existing tank is a smaller glass one; the one I just got is 4 x 2 x 2 PVC with black sides, a mesh top, sliding clear doors in the front (Dubia.com). Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere already but I am a little confused as to what are acceptable and safe backgrounds to use for something like this. I am not interested in constructing a background out of foam spray etc., nor did I really want to go get a pre-molded rock-ledge background thing. I guess I was hoping to find a relatively simple option for a background, if it exists.
1/ Is it ok to mount a custom vinyl banner on the inside of a cage? If so, what adhesives are acceptable for affixing something like this, and/or would it be acceptable to install it and then use some sort of sealant to protect it like mod podge? Originally this was my plan for the background, printing a custom banner of foliage at walgreens. However I now am not so sure something like this can be safely installed inside the cage, or I just can't find any examples of other people doing it this way.
2/ what are other options for backgrounds for a PVC enclosure? all I can think of is buying a bunch of cork tile pieces to install on the back and side panels.
Thanks in advance
