A quick question about 'flooring'...

Every one says different things about the substrate - Im wondering what, if any issues would be if I were to use peel and stick tiles??? They are cheap, smooth, easy to clean, and can be gripped easily enough by the claws of a beardie as they are soft and easy to puncture.

Sooo any advice would be a great step in the right direction.

Thanks.

peel and stick tiles, as far as I am aware, is not the best solution. The chemicals in the stick part can release toxins when heated to the types of temperatures you have inside a viv. If you could find some with high heat resistance, then they would be fine I guess. but generally, I personally would say no. I use tiles, as they are a fairly natural substrate for a beardie, they are easy to clean if you seal them, and they keep your beardies nails trim, without having to cut them yourself, which can be tricky.

as for your wooden viv and vents question, Sherri is right. its for ventilation. the heat, unlesss you have a really cold room, will not be effected, but the ventilation is very important, as humidity can be harmful to your beardie. they are dessert dwellers, not jungle dwellers, so they need dry heat.

*nods* thats sort of what I was thinking - but I wasnt sure... As for the tiles, thats what Im leaning towards as well. A nice tan slate would look good I think since it matches the dessert area better.

Ya, I understand it now. Thanks for answering my questions every one!!! Greatly appreciated

A little help please. A week or two ago, there was posted step by step instructions on how to create a very realistic interior/backdrop. The man used foam, grout and paints. Hubby has just told me that our babies have a 6 foot display case coming (second hand from a local business) and I believe that the described interiors would be fantastic in there.

Could anyone point me to the link or at least the name of the designer??

Thanks

I am super excited, I just got the 5 unit viv that I ordered from Coldblooded Cages so here it is...Each viv is 4x2x18inches)
This is after lights out and the dragons were already sleeping with their blankies, I might try and get some better pics today

And this is the "duplex" (still needs some pretty added) it's 6x2x2 (the divider is in the middle so each baby gets 3x2x2)

That is really cute. It looks like its from one the the Harry Potter movies, the one where he has to do the tri-wizard tournament. But still super cute, too bad it doesn't really exist.
