Re: My new arrival
I am learning to do the foam background and I made this to be a tree stump hide. I want to use quikcrete to coat it. I just don't know which quikcrete to get. I have asked other places and everyone want to help with what they use but I want to use quikcrete because I have a large build that this tree stump my test/learn how to do it piece. So if anyone happens to know which bag or quikcrete to use,pleade let me know.
Pyro she'd again and is almost about to break the 300 mark. I held a white sided Brooks the other day at the local pet store and that Brooks was about as carefree as Pyro and the white sided was probably only about a month old. Brooks kings so far see to be an awesome snake, I know mine is.

Re: My new arrival
You probably know this, but just in case, keep in mind that concrete/mortar has to wet cure for about a month before it stops leaching chemicals. Should be easy with the log though, just submerge it in a bucket of water for a while and forget about it.

I did not know that. I have seen some talk about this but it was never in much detail and most was for fish tanks and getting the water back to normal before adding fish. So what should I use on a foam background fixed in the enclosure that can not be submerged? It seems that some just cover a foam background in quikcrete, seal it and that's it.

It's true that it's most important in aquariums and humid, planted tanks because it affects the pH of the water/soil. If your set-up is going to be very dry maybe it's not as much of an issue? It put me off taking the grout/cement route on an enclosure I'm working on, but mine is going to be planted. I'm no expert, but it might be worth a little extra research if you're worried about it. I know you can cure stuff in an enclosure by keeping a wet towel or whatever over the feature and spraying it down once in a while.

Re: My new arrival
Howdy Fireman- How's Pyro doing with those rats? Does he eat them exclusively now? Neither of my two kings will eat them consistently but will take them intermittently. They definitely prefer mice and they'll chicks as well. Has he broken the 300g mark?
