How to: DIY Natural Background | LEOPARD GECKOS

Setting up a DIY natural background for my Leopard Gecko terrarium.
Stuff i used for my background:
Styrophoam
Expanding foam (3 bottles)
Styrophoam glue
Tile adhesive (approx. 4.5kg)
Color (1 full bottle anthracite, a bit of white and blue)
5 brushes
Bucket
Knife
Toothpicks
Tape
Gloves
Tupperware (humid hide)
Don't wear your favourite clothes.. ;)
!While aplying the expanding foam always keep the windows open and wear gloves, it's nearly impossible to remove it from skin or clothes!

I actually remade it for my gecko with a couple adjustments so she can climb in it and she loves it I just covers it with cement

Is this how you made the background in your Underwoodasauras Milli enclosure set up?

[@3012ftp]

The background in the underwoodisaurus tank wasn't made by me personally, but yes it was the same principle.

@@3012ftp thank you for getting back to me. What is the white material you cut up and stuck on the enclosure?

[@3012ftp]

@@kristydavenport7181 you're very welcome :) The white thing is styrofoam. and i also used expanding foam out of the spraybottle

What do you do for the heating mat?

[@3012ftp]

I don't use any. I use a heat bulb which heats up a piece of slate during the day.

[@webodeescorpion7037]

@@3012ftp if i'm not wrong geckos obtains energy by heat underneath instead of upside, but still maybe if the bulb heats enough the basking spot it is ok.

@@webodeescorpion7037 in nature the sun heats up the rocks which i'm replicating by a bulb that heats up the piece of slate on which they can heat their bellies when light's out or even during the day

@@webodeescorpion7037 heating mats can short-circuit and cause burns, a heating lamp on some rocks is much safer.
