    Unhappy Attaching an EXO Terro Rock Background inside terrarium

    I was wondering if there was an easy wat to attach this type of background to the inside of my terrarium. Heres a link for what I am talking about...http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/compa...um-Background/

    Duck Tape is not working good. I used some industrial velcro from lowes, but then that was too hard to take out when needing to clean the terrarium.

    Any Ideas?

    Silicone works great and is easy to take off if necessary.

    I wouldn't risk any tape inside my terrarium. I have the exact same background in my old 55 gallon Exo-terra viv (I moved the snake to a smaller enclosure). The background I bought (that exact same design too) is sized exactly for the 55 gallon, so it is a very tight fit. When I push the background into the back of the viv and put the lid on, the background doesn't move. After I put the substrate, hides, branches, etc., that background is not moving. No need for tape or velcro or anything.

    See picture below:

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Nice set for that tank. Yeah I wish mine fit all snugged in the tank, but I had to cut mine down to sixe for my 40 gal, and now it doesnt want to cooperate. I don't think i could just stand mine up and have everything keep it in place, anymore suggestions.

    Re: Attaching an EXO Terro Rock Background inside terrarium

    Hi,

    Use aquarium background on the outside of the tank instead and throw it away?

    If it doesn't fit you might find the animals get behind it which could be a right pain in the sit-upons.
