building a realistic enclosure for my sons leo

[ivie]

so my sons new leopard gecko so i am using my old tank to build him a realistic enclosure. I am using styrofoam insulation sheets cut and carves to look like rocks, corvered in sand less grout and then painted with acrylic/grout mix. this is my first attempt at this so we will see how it goes.

getting the side panels in place


roughing in a spot for the leo's present hide rock



getting some ledges and ramps roughed in


first coat of grout on a few of the structure pieces


and a light coat on the walls



more pics to come, i am just waiting for the grout to dry right now

almost done, just needs at least one more coat and then i am going to paint in some details before sealing it.

i will post pics, it is pretty much done now i just have to get something to seal/waterproof the grout mix. i did put the gecko in for a little while at the request of my son and it was all over the place investigating.
