Very Creative

Thanks!

that is 1 heck of a good idea. it looks really good. nice job.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Idk if the chemicals would be harmful to the geckos at all but you should be good if you let it air out long enough...
With that said i think it looks absolutely amazing. Better than alot of the stuff i see in stores. I especially like the use of the magnets. I would seriously consider selling these if i were you. Idk how long or how expensive they are to make but i could see myself paying $25-$30 for one if i had geckos lol. It really does look better quality than store bought ones!

Thanks,

Between the drying paint and sealant it's not worth the risk to put it in an enclosed space with a living animal. Waiting a week gives me piece of mind, it's also what a lot of other DIY'ers suggest doing before placing something like this into the setup. It could be fine without doing it, but I'd rather not risk it.

I really prefer making my own stuff to buying the store bought things. Unless I was mass producing them it wouldn't be worth my time to make these and ship them out to others. People have asked me before to buy them, but it's a decent amount of worth for little pay. I figure by giving a decent DIY instructional people can make their own and have fun while doing it. I know I really enjoy making them. I learn a little bit more every time I do one. I should be starting another rockwall background here shortly since one of my cresties is starting to get big enough for her new setup. I'll be sure to post a detailed DIY on that one as well!
