    Zilla Atrium with custom fake rockwall pictures

    Here are some pictures of a background and moist hide/ledge for a Zilla Atrium. I really like the way it turned out. I am just now posting the pictures but I made it around April/May of this year. It has held up really well. There are two live plants in the cage to keep up the humidity for my male crestie, a pothos, and a snake plant. Both are doing amazing.

    Enjoy

    Thank you! When I get a group of CG females up to size I want to do a background for a 40 gallon breeder put on its side. Now that I have done a couple I think I have got it down to finish quickly with minimal mistakes or issues.

    I know that Zilla naturalistic and Exo terra are drilled to put backgrounds on back wall.. How You put background on regular glass tank ??
    I mean it need to be secured but You must to have option to remove it for cleaning or in case of emergency like parasites...

    I hot glued strong magnets directly to the background. The other magnent is on the outside of the glass. Real cheap and sanitary way to have a removable background.

    Very clever!! Overall, very beautiful set-up!

    Is the box that creates the ledge/cave removable? Can you just lift it off if you need to get at the gecko inside?

    JLC, the ledge is very easily removable after you take the snake plant off the top. I wanted it all to be as simple to clean as possible. Everything is sealed well, that way I can rinse off everything in the bathtub.
