Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2007 7:22 pm Post subject: My Vivarium - What lizard would it suit best? |
|
|
Ive nearly finished my vivarium which was originally intended for leopard geckos. I recently found out they are not very good climbers so was thinking about getting a diferent type of lizard to live in it. Judging from the size of the pic and the lighter as a scale guide, what do you think would suit it?
It is very easy to climb around onto the different levels as I have added stairs, it doesnt look safe but I guarantee it is lol.
Another question is, im about to cover in PVA glue and sand, is this the right thing to do? As you can see I live in the attic and the floor hasnt been done out properly, so I dont think cementing all the layers would be a good idea as the floor would probably go through.
See what you think

looks good so far as for what lizard species maybe collard lizards or rankins maybe. what are the actual dimensions of it? i think pva and sand should be ok aslong as its all dried by the time anything goes in it. no doubt sombody else will be along soon to give more help |

Hi, I found a mixture of approx 40%water, 60%pva glue used with one, the other or all of: cement powder, plaster, peat, topsoil.
Plaster mix drys much quicker, redder..
I turned the water pva % around on final coats using neat pva on the last coat.
Im not going to varish or seal other than the pva as my viv will be fairly dry inside...
