    Redecorated (Pics)
    I got bored yesterday and did some redecorating. Now that I think about it, I should have taken some before pics. I'll try to keep that in mind for next time.

    Peyton is up top in the 40 Gal and Pie is on the bottom in the 20L

    Peyton scoping out the changes. I think he approves.

    Pie even got a new lid & clamps - the last screen top lived a long life :rolleyes:

    Chico (Golden Gecko) is up top and Poot is on the bottom in the 10 Gal.
    http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...s/SANY0938.jpg

    Where's Poot?

    There's Poot!

    And for good measure, I threw in a close-up of Chico's digs!

    I'm happy with the way they all turned out. Let me know what YOU think :D

    It IS fun! I'd do it more often, but I get carried away and it ends up costing me way too much! I hit the jackpot though at Wal-Mart. They had a clearance on all their fake plants. I believe I spent $12 and it was more than enough to do all 4 enclosures (with leftovers).

    He never tried to bite me, but I no longer hand feed leos. I learned my lesson a while ago, and it only took me getting bit twice. :P

    Very nice looking! :) I personally tlove to have great looking enclosures too. Hopefully mine will look as good asyour someday. I'm sure that redecorating wasn't exactly free tho.

    Just the other day though I made a new hide for my snake. Went to the local craft store bought some moss like stuff a leather paper tray that when turned usidedown was a god size for a hide. spray glued the moss and other fake leaves on the hide,cut a hole and viola = natural looking hide. I will share whenever I get a camera.

    But great looking tanks!!!!

    Thanks a bunch! ;)

    It definitely wasn't free, but not expensive either. I believe I spent a total of $28, which allowed me to re-do 4 enclosures. Not too shabby. Plus, I had a lot of the stuff laying around from previous critters. I'm all for cost effective.

    Wow, 28 bucks! Where do you get your supplies from? Over here our exotic pet stores charges an arm and a leg for a fake rock/leaves.

    Ive been wanting to use the moss stuff at the craft store but didnt know if it had stuff or whatnot not that could harm the snakes. Did you just wash the moss and glued it, and exactly what glues are safe to use? Sorry not tryin to steal your thread storms.

    Michael's has a great selection of silk plants fairly cheap...watch for sales.
    I also found Wal-Mart has really inexpensive silks...just not as much of a selection.

    I might have spent $20 to $25 for all the plants in my set up.

    Wow, that is some impressive work. I've always loved those really authentic looking vivarium set-ups. I think I might use yours for inspiration when my corn gets bigger and I move him into the 20L I have waiting.
