Anyone have custom terrarium backgrounds?

For those of you that use glass tanks, I know you can buy premade backgrounds, but has anyone made a background with a custom image on it? I am thinking of getting something cool printed out at a copy/print shop, but I have no idea how to go about it. I was going to print out a bunch of sheets and tape them together but my ink is already low, and the print quality sucks. Any ideas?

This is my corn's new enclosure; it is a 29 gallon. I'm going to put some fake plants in there, too. By the way, that heat lamp is only a 40 watt, and the hot spot is around 80 which is perfect for him.

Nice Corn! I'm sure you have already considered the aquarium backgrounds. Another idea would be to paint the outside of the back glass with spray paint.

I use scrapbooking sheets, usually 12x12. :) They have cool images on them that look good and they're cheap...couldn't ask for better. :D

What are they, what kind of images do they have, and where can I get them?

Edit: nevermind I found them online. I am looking for something with some kind of whole photo or picture instead of a tiled background.

What about a cool panoramic shot from Google?

Moon landing anyone?

Moon snakes are the best!

What is that on the top of the cage keeping the lid on? Just a large binder clip or paper clip or what ever they are called? Getting a corn soon and want to make sure I have everything before hand.

You can take a pic of someting or find a pic you like and then download it to photobucket.com and then from there you can pay them to make it what ever size you want printed out?

This is a really cool idea! Check it out!

They are screen cover clips that you could find at any pet store. They look like this: http://www.strictlypetsupplies.com/_...er-Clips-Large

I use binder clips for my tubs, but they don't work with metal screen tops.

Actually the WORST sound in the world to me, worse than nails on a blackboard is the squeaking of styrofoam rubbing together. I can't stand it. So I personally wouldn't be able to do something like this... But it is a neat idea. The only thing I'm concerned about is wouldn't the snake be able to snap off those styrofoam ledges? If something is possible, my corn will figure out how to do it in the first day :)
