    Background/terrarium thread!
    So I have gotten this nice, cheap glass terrarium with sliding doors. As marshall grows out of his 10 Gallon I am going to be working on a nice display cage including a background and such. I will be using this thread to ask questions as well as get your guys opinions and share my progress. Here's my two very different ideas so far.

    Naturalistic: most commonly seen, foam background with a lot of branches and greenery. Basically as close as I can get it to a natural bp habitat.

    Modern: completely opposite of natural and different from anything I've ever seen. Using tiles( bathroom/shower tiles ) for the background, with a really clean look. More of a piece of art than your average reptile home. I will post pics of what I'm talking about here later.

    Let me know your thoughts! I will post pics of my ideas in a minute.

    For the background (modern theme) this is what I would be doing. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...d9a046a37e.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...514819fbf9.jpg
    I really like this idea, but I am concerned about the weight of the rocks. Will the walls of the tank be able to handle 40-50 pounds of rock?

    Or, I can do something really wild like this for the background:http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...a47652d0ed.jpg
    I'm not completely sold on this idea yet,but am still considering it.

    Then there is of course a natural look: http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...dd583315aa.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...96c28de8c9.jpg
    I really like this idea as well.

    That last one is just nice, warm, and peaceful.

    However, I like the crawl stick in the previous one.
