Very helpful video! Great that you were so comprehensive in the demonstration of the mix and application of the paints. The final look is very realistic. Thank you.
Great video! Really makes building Terrarium engaging!
Can we just admire these editing skills???
Wow. The end result is just magnificent, thank you so much for making this video🙏
I really like the photography and editing of your videos.
Nice video. Some paint mixing skills for sure kudos to you!!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you SO much for this video! Well done, the help I was looking for ❤
I have zero artistic talent nor experience and I'm trying to make a background like this for my reptile gecko. Why do you mix colours to let's say get dark brown, the first colour you're using, why don't you just buy and use dark brown?
DO I just use the dark brown I bought or do I try mix like you did because it actually does something I'm not aware of?
Keep us up to date, make videos on what you will put in the tank!
It is just for tutorial purpose but maybe I will make a full terrarium with a reptile in it later.
Thank you
Do you need add another layer or reptiles/amphibians will be fine with acrylic paints? Can this be submerged under water?
In this case no more layer needed because in the previous video I used epoxy resin and according to this step, you can supbmerge under water
Hey mate can you tell me if the acrylic paint will be safe for reptiles??
Non toxic acrylic paint :).. should say this on the paint I believe. Hope this helps!
Could use a water based sealant after the paint.
👍
This paint resist water when dries?
Yes
Does the paint come off the glass?
Yes very easily with a scraper :) but I was to lazy to make it now.
super cool, unfortunately, however, reptiles with nails (for example leopard gecko) scratch the paint off over time. You should add a protective sealant
There is already an epoxy resin under this paint. I show it in another video. ;)
that's right, the resin is underneath. above the colors, however, there is no protection, so over time it will disappear! how long have you had this background and for which reptile?
@@andreatortelli3932 It can be troubles with quite big reptiles. I never had any problems
@@Terrarium-Construction can you please show me in the right detection as to what kind of resin I can use to seal my background I have a styrofoam background and I want to seal it and maybe harden it so it doesn’t chip
Hi there. Is the acrylic paint safe for reptiles?
Hi! Yes
Also, just a question! What would happen if the acrylic paint was misted in the enclosure? Would it be dangerous? Is there any way I can add a reptile safe water proof sealant? Thanks! :)
If acrylic paint is dry, no problem.
@@Terrarium-Construction Oh thats great to hear, thanks! :)
How hard is the surface of the background? Suitable for reptiles with nails, that will climb?
Yes but not big ones
Isnt the painting toxical to them?
Nope
Tu devrais essayer de faire t vidéos en français, il n’y a pas une grande communauté “reptilienne” en France. Ca serait cool.
Il les fait en français et en anglais
