Stone Floor & Background

[alrha]

Originally, like most, i liked the natural look of sand. but after reading up here i now know that sand is not a responsible choice for a bearded dragon.
I still, however, want the vivarium to have a completely natural look.
As such, carpet it out, and printed backgrounds are out too.
Tiles may be ok, but will still just look like tile and not really very natural.
Are there large stone slabs that can be used (and somehow custom cut) for a floor and/or background?
I have also seen some vivariums which look like they were hand molded or something producing a very natural looking texture.

Some people made their background and ground from the fake rock build idea. I don't recommend it as a bottom because it's a little hard to clean, but it works awesome as a background or basking area.

Slate tiles look pretty natural in my opinion. I'm having the same problem with tile. I'm painting the sides and back in a natural-ish desert scene and I don't want the tile to stick out like a sore thumb....

Those rock builds are pretty neat, but i think i'd prefer to buy real stones and build something with them.

The only problem with stones is that you have to remember how heavy they are. If you keep that in mind you can do pretty much anything.

how are those Rep-Tiles?
and for the background perhaps the Exo-Terra backgrounds? or ZooMed corkbark?
