How To Make Naturalistic 3D Backgrounds - Tarantulas & Reptiles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I am going to show you how I build my Do It Yourself Naturalistic 3D Background for my arboreal enclosures! These backgrounds were perfectly for arboreal tarantulas, snakes, geckos, or any arboreal arachnid, reptile, or amphibian! It is fairly easy to build your own custom background using Great Stuff expanding foam, some silicone, and some substrate! Check out how I build these backgrounds so you start making your own!

Awesome job! Just an opinion, when I do the work with the dremel, I run my shopvac with my other hand. I have also, Siliconed in heavier hard scape pieces prior to foaming. Just let it cure partially and spray foam that side (put a screw into the end of the Silicone and it will last for days, no waste).
I love the effect of painting the sides. I can't believe people put so much time into building these vivariums and let the sides go. Great job Richard!
Gage and myself are working on making all our tarantula enclosures like this! It looks great for both arboreal and terrestrial.
We use great stuff, cork bark and mood moss to fill in the background and then the substrate usually has mixed of moss, live pothos and other decorations. We use springtails as our clean up crew and they seem to thrive so long as there is adequate substrate
Super fun and looks great 👌
"Cuisine" 🤣 As a native french speaker, you made me giggle... Love your video's keep up the good work!
Great walkthrough, might take on this project now that the the temp is dropping.
wow that's a lot of work for an enclosure, but worth it in the end. I'm still collecting things for my T's enclosure. Thank you for some more ideas. Have a great weekend Richard!
Hello great video information and build Richard
Geat tutorial, Richard! Interesting to see how it all comes together after the plants have grown in. 👍
I don't have Ts or such but I do luv watchin your vids n the ingenious ways you have to make your enclosures look amazing ...
great video richard
hahaha Richard I love you! "S-arreted knife" looks so beautiful. Substrate got nothing on you brother
Awesome buddy looks great nice job wait for my new Star Wars build it’s going to blow your mind full bio active as well
definitely going to try this for my caribena versicolor
loved this video. very very helpful
You should!
I love what you made. The worse part of this DIY is I see what you had after the foam completed expanding and I had so many creative ideas for it. When I do it, I look and just see a mess that I don't know what to, that's why not being in a rush and giving yourself time to figure out what to do next sometimes helps. Overthinking is my worse enemy though.
Looks great! I am always amazed how that foam always looks a hot mess in the beginning and then looks amazing in the end. I also learned the hard way how much it expands when it dries 🤦♀️😂
Oow that's beautiful! One day... if I ever find the patience lol
You should!
Amazing work, looks beautiful. That thing would enhance anyone's living space. Masterpiece!.
Brilliant video Richard, the enclosure turned out fantastic, super 👌 job.
I really enjoy watching your videos I hope one day to own a tarantula the only thing I would add to your enclosure is maybe some bromeliads like two at the top to really make the enclosure pop a little bit more but great work
Looks awesome Richard! You really did it up! I just did one this past week. I did a cave for my orange head roaches to display their ravenous feeding behavior. I used fiberglass mesh to form the cave. Then I just coated it with silicone and added the spray foam. I will have to order the great stuff pond and stone as it is a bit cheaper than the stuff I got from the garden center at Lowe’s where they keep the pond supplies. My only critiques on yours would have been to anchor the ends of the branches with silicone, when you did the “wing walls” of the background. Also, you may have wanted to let the background to sit for a few days to assure the fumes had subsided before adding your gecko. The Biodude did post a video on his 3-D background kit, but took it down for some reason. I did get to watch it a few times before it was gone. I was told that they will be reposting it along with parts 3 & 4, eventually. It’s mostly the same way you did yours. Only they were doing it on a 36” x 18” x 36” ZooMed Paludarium for cinnamon tree frogs, with dense wood features and lots of spray foam and silicone. So they gave theirs a good week to cure. ;)
Great build man! That random piece of bamboo bugs the crap out of me though. Awesome stuff! XD
The enclosure came out awesome! I love videos like this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Been looking forward to this video. Thank you!! 10 thumbs up 👍
I have one more to edit and another in the process of being filmed...so keep an eye out for more!
Super cool
Great work
Very impressive 👌

Please do a heteroscodra maculata care guide video !
That was outstanding work! What a beautiful set up!
Just became a patreon member on your page brotha
Nice! Can I give you a hint? Put the balls into a washing net and after that you should put a drainage above it. So you can clean the balls better and easier and you can use them many times.
Looks absolutely amazing, great job 🦎 regards Joanne 🐺
I miss keeping day geckos... they are beautiful!
Awesome enclosure!!!
Great enclosure plant look nice to you tell you put lot work in it great video
Good job!
One word. EXCELLENT!
great, I'll definitely try this method!
Really cool set up Richard. It would be too much for myself to do... So I'm swimming across the pond ( UK) and just taking yours 🤣😂. Anyway, awesome work
Looks fantastic!
looks awesome! thanks for the tutorial.
Glad you like it!
bruh your voice is amazing lols
Wow! That's a beautiful setup. Can I have it, please?
Like it
Honestly you could do something similar for semi-arboreal species. Though the enclosure would have to setup like a terrestrial enclosure. I wonder if I should do this for my GBB.
Love the video! Where did you get the drift wood from!
Been waiting for this one! Im rehousing my P irminia soon. Does this foam get moldy in wet enclosures?
Looks awesome but if the T is a chewer is that foam nontoxic? Also, can you take the decor out to sanitize the enclosure
for reuse in the future? Thanks.
This looks amazing! Roughly for everything, how much do you think a DYI project like this would cost?
The cans of great stuff at Lowes were $2.50 ea. I used 2 cans i believe. The silicone is $5 a tube and I probably used 2 or 3. So like $20 in supplies. Everything else like the substrate and wook i already had, but if you had to go out and buy the hardware, that would be another $30 or so.
What type of cage is that? Would you use that for an adult P. Metallica? That's beautiful!
I have a request! Would you consider doing a video on how you keep your crickets? I can't keep them damn things alive 🤦♀️
Keep them dry. I spray a couple sprays of water on the walls every day. Feeding fruit about every 2-3 days. Remove the food after a day. They like eating soft foods like cut up oranges(no peel). Veggies like chopped up cucumber/zucchini are good too.
Keep them nice and cool too and make sure they have a little cave to hide in. Most people give them egg cartons. I use the little cheap cricket containers with the vented top and Coco fiber for the substrate. Hope that helps
How is a full cleaning process work with and enclosure like this?
4 bedrooms , 1 dining room , very large bathroom.
Hi, have you got a link for the correct silicone please? I'm unsure on which one I should pick
Hello! I am new to the danger spoods and and want to put my H Gigas in a bioactive. Is this a good idea?
Ur cool
Is there an alternative if I don’t have a dremel ?
Ginger brother i need help how can i make a mexican red knee enclosure
Is it okay and safe for tarantula to use silicone and glue?? I heard they are toxic and dangerous to use for tarantulas
🤘🤘
Hello, the amazon links are not working :(
Would it be possible to make something like this and keep it properly clean without it being bioactive?
definitely. most of the tarantula enclosures I have made this background in are not bioactive
Not sure if you will read my comment this late but do you have any thiland golden fringe tarantulas?
I do not
Great Stuff also has 100% silicone product, can I just use that?
Yes you can
Hi Richard, I'm trying to find a larger enclosure for my T and I noticed that on your website you mention that you keep your m balfouri communal in the exo Terra 18×18×12. But upon clicking it, it takes you to the Amazon listing where it states that it has a mesh top... I was under the impression that it's dangerous to keep Ts in with a mesh lid; is there something I'm missing? It's been hard for me to find a large enclosure that doesn't have mesh. Thank you
They come with mesh, but you can cut out the screen and easily replace it with a sheet of acrylic. There are even companies now that sell replacement kits.
@@tarantulacollective oh okay, thank you!
I see scratches on ur cage as well did u accidentally nick it I would be scared id hit it
Dude i lost my first T today. He was a b. alpo, 4 years old. Super sad
Sorry for your loss
@@tarantulacollective thanks bud
Huh, you said gaps and cracks!
Is it safe to use 3d printed items? Either PLA or resin?
i believe so. Houston Frogs sent me a lot of 3d printed skulls to put in enclosures, they sell them as enclsure decor for dart frogs, so i would assume they are safe
Awesome, thanks for the reply!
it will expand and break glass .ive don it .add more just dont overdoo it
can i have a Tarantula? please?
Only problem I hate work with foam I hate feel and sound cut it go throw my teeth 😬
