Geo's 1st Basking Platform!! Lots of Pics =D

[ButterflyGirl89]

I looked at A LOT of pics that people posted here, plus tutorials from lizard landscapes.
This is the first one I've ever done, but I'm extremely happy with how it came out!! Geo seems to like it, too. :wink:
What do you guys think???

the beginning!

showing how almost every leg/support was made

ready for grouting

ready for painting!

All done!! I had added some detailing, but it kinda got covered up by the sealant! Sad. :roll: Oh well, It came out nice anyway, lol.

a picture of it inside the cage. Finally in his 67 gal upgrade from the 20 gal! Seems happy, haha.

Just him enjoying it
--------------------------------------------------

I purposefully made it a little taller than most of the ones I've seen here because I wanted him to be able to get within 6-8 inches of the ReptiSun 10.0 and also kind of walk around a little bit. I made sure it was well supported, though! Even so, he's able to get under it and walk around, too. It's about 11" tall, 8" deep, and 24" long.
I have an 18" reptisun and a 24" reptisun both on the tank. they're not inside of it, but there's holes cut into the screen so that the bulbs aren't blocked by anything.

Sorry I don't have more pics between the beginning process and the whole thing all ready to grout! I was so intent on working that I forgot to take more pictures... lol.

Looks great! I hope to do something like this for my viv when the time comes. Did you use modpodge for the sealant?

 

[ButterflyGirl89]

I did! I was kind of worried cuz I had read about some people having it dry white or cloudy etc, and it does look pretty white when it first goes on, but I didn't have any problems at all once it was dry. I mixed it in a spray bottle about 30-40% mod podge and filled the rest with water. Shake well, and spray! I did about 5 coats or so.
