This is a great idea for us "non artistic" enclosure builders. Lol. Don't get me wrong, I still try and do the long way and carve and such, but I think I will try this on my next one. Also, the sphagnum moss from Lowes is called "better grow" if I remember correctly. It is exactly the same as reptile sphagnum moss and so much more economical to buy. I've been using it for years.

To make the foam not look like little poo, let the foam dry for 24 hours, go back and carve and cut the foam to the shape you want, then smear silicone all over the foam and stick the dirt/ sand to the silicone.

Woah all week I've been looking through your leopard gecko advice and everything since I'm getting one soon and i only just realized this is a brand new upload and not an older (but still very useful) video haha

Thanks for the vid! I am going to make a custom foam background soon for a green anole, and this really helped me!

thanks for the tutorial, i used this to make a new crested gecko background and i intergrated a cork bark looking tube for some extra shelter! i also added a slate platform that drips water and the slate already had moss on it. thanks for making this tutorial!

Dude, I love your videos. I have some stuff for a bearded dragon and want to do something like this. My kids want one, I want one more but can't tell my wife that lol. Have a good one bro!

[hi-e]

Im thinking about swapping from my old carpet hes had for a while to Australian desert sand is that an ok substrate for a fancy beardie

[littlemidwestrebornsdolls]

I love that background!! Very nice in my opinion. I think I could do something like that. I am still researching everything I can about Breaded dragons. I have decided that I would like to get one.

Thanks for the video. I'm debating whether it's worth doing it for a giant dart frog build as the centerpiece of my room instead of carving XPS foam or something. But worried about the background being difficult to dry out after a misting, as well as spending a bunch of time for it to then just look like poop. But at the same time, I suck at carving XPS and don't like the fake look Drylock makes. I could selectively cover parts in the dirt. Maybe I should just try this out in a cheap growout enclosure first or something.

love the video && nice champion shirt looks good on you. also quick question, does it matter where you buy hides for the leopard gecko??? like petsmart or any other reptile stores or does it have to be from a specific website/store to buy hides????

[Khloro]

Will try this one my enclosure arrives

[Gojira-man]

Thanks I’m gonna make a custom forest background for a. White street frog 🐸

This is brilliant! I adore your channel! These are awesome ideas, and very creative! Give yourself more credit, cuz it's really awesome. I don't think it looks like 💩 This is some great stuff! (Pun intended 😉😁)

If i wanted to stick slate rock in the foam for platforms, would that work as well, or do you think it would fall off
