That's awesome mate!!I'm glad you show mistakes and how you overcome them as well, some channels would edit that out to make it the perfect build but as a viewer who is looking at doing his own enclosures soon it helps to know what to do when things don't go to plan, so I for one appreciate that. Good luck at the expo tomorrow and I hope it's a great day for everyone involved!
Fantastic job Cam, thoroughly enjoyed watching that video, your very talented
Thats mum not ally lol
Great video - I know what it's like to be so busy building / fixing, that you forget to document / film. Please provide updates on how the foam / pointing holds up as I also had issues with this and cork bark allowing water through and saturating the substrate over time. I plan to start building a new enclosure later this year and knowing if this works long-term would be helpful. Keep up the good work - I learn a lot from you and Serpadesign - thank you.
Thanks mate. If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook I’ll do updates on there.
Awesome man! Keep up the great work.
Hi Cam, when can we expect another video? They are really good and over time your views and subs will increase. More please.
Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately you may not see anymore vids from me. The past year has been very full on for me so I have stepped away from building the backgrounds. I’m still always happy to answer questions and I’ll be leaving my videos active as I feel they serve a great purpose. Thank you for the support.
Hey cam! Cant wait for the new build, Maybe try doing a nautrualistic jungle carpet python enclosure? Also you could try natrualistic and bioactive 👀
Hey, I have done a build for a jungle python a while back. You’ll find the video on my channel however it’s older style techniques of mine.
Thanks for watching
@@Cambart1 ah I haven’t seen it yet, anyways I hope the new build comes soon!! 👀
@@Cambart1 Oh and one more thing sorry to disturb again Lol, Im going to bunnings to make a background, your childrens python one inspired me to make one do you use installation foam?
Yes mate that one was built with insulation foam panels and roof tile pointing.
The moss that died off on the background is cause the grout cures at a high ph which plants don’t like and die off the reason the wet Java moss made it is cause the moist grout cures wet for the full cure and the ph drops cause of the water running on it. In the US I us a product call Drylok that is the same issue. It has to dry first the initial cure then dry wet/moist for a 4-6 week process while the ph drops then the plants aren’t effected by it.
That’s good to know for future references mate thanks.
Hope it helps. Rinsing really really well then misting daily for a 4-6 week time frame will moist/wet cure it and plants will grow right on it. Great for epiphytic plants.
Love these videos cam, question for you. Someone is telling me I should seal my background after using acrylic paint? I was planning on blending the acrylic paint in with my dry lock for each coat. Should I still seal it some how after? And if so what should I seal it with? Thank you for any response!
Honestly I don’t seal any of my builds. I find any sealer creates a glossy wet look and takes away from the natural rock finish. However I can’t confirm what it’s like using dryloc as I have never used or seen it in person (we don’t get it in aus)so I couldn’t be certain you’d need to seal it not sorry.
Thanks for reaching out too. Appreciate the support and feedback
If I'm using grout. Do I have to varnish it after? I've got some yacht varnish but it's satin. Amazing builds by the way.
Some people seal grout some people don’t. I’m not sure what one is safe for animals either. I have tested sealing my work really early days but I always found the rocks looked wet so I stopped.
@@Cambart1 any idea on how I would find out if its safe or not ( the grout)
Grout is safe for sure but the sealers I’m not sure on what you could use. Best bet is anything water based and non toxic
Curious how much of a plan you have before you start or if you usually just foam and then kinda go with the flow as you carve?
Pretty much just go with the flow. I have an idea where I want it to be but usually just placing foam pieces or starting to carve guides me more.
Do you not have issues with water turning dirty overtime or mildew mold developing? How do you control it?
Water change every few months but the moss, movement and aeration keep it pretty good. I also get a bit of evaporation so I top up with freshwater every week or so.
Where did you get the vine and the branches?
I sourced on friends of mines property
So I just came across your page from a group that someone recommended you. My question is would this be possible for a chameleon enclosure? Everything I see for them seems kinda bland with just a few potted plants and misting system. I wanna create something that seems more natural and lively. Any advice or recommendations would be great! Thank you.
No reason you couldn’t create the same outcome using products you can get where you’re from. The tile pointing I use to coat with isn’t available outside Australia but you can achieve similar results I’ve been told using dryloc. Good luck with your build
@@Cambart1 thank you so much! I'm really more worried about it being toxic or seeping something into the plants and killing everything. But thank you for the advice!
how difficult is it to remove this background again if you are not satisfied?
If you’re removing it to rebuild it completely it’s pretty easy to do so. If you want to try and save it then you’re really going to struggle. There is ways of building the walls so they are removable
@@Cambart1 thanks for reply. The background is done but there are a couple of small things I want to remove and redo. so I wonder if it is actually possible.
Yeah you can cut parts out and re do them but you may find you’ll need to coat the whole wall again unless you can blend or hide it.
Yeah, i will try too remove the sealant with a knife or something and try too blend it in.
Tempted to dislike, but you put in a lot of effort. Did I miss something? You never even show the full overall shot of the scape.
Hello mate! Me again. I recieved my 4x4x2 enclosure except that it's white melamine. I have black pond sealer, but don't know whether to seal the inside up too the glass doors, or too the outside inner edge just to the outside of the glass and leave the outside white or paint the outside black or seal the outside as well and maybe do a jungle camo paint job on the outside, it will be housing a jungle python.
Anyway was after some advice on what would be best, personally I'm kinda leaning towards sealing the c whole thing with black pond sealer and hanging some of those fake plant squares on the outside...
Honestly mate it’s up to you. You can always start by just coating the inside and see how you like it. You won’t need to use the pond sealer on the external and that can simply be a paint that bonds to melamine. Might work out cheaper for you
