    THE LITTLE LADY I'M DOING ALL THIS FOR...LOL.

    Well today is day 3 of my vivarium build. My wife is painting a rock hide made from styrofoam coverd in 3 coats of grout. Now she is painting and then will seal it with mod podge. I am up to $600 of expenses so far with materials and tools needed. Again all $600 of product can be seen in this pic so don't think what you see is what cost that much. Much more still to come. Hope you all like it so far.

    Fiber Glass. Will work good with the humidity and the fogger system. Even though 90% of it will be covered by styrofoam rock wall.

    What you see will all be covered when its all done. It will have patterned wood all around it. So when it's done you wont actually see anything your seeing now. The top, front, back and sides will all be recovered with the finishing siding. So it wont look like some cheap box. But like a luxurious vivarium.

    You think so. I havent decided what to wood to use to make up its future beauty. Even tho the true beauty will be on the inside.
