the second one is amazing.
Just out of interest, what kind of paint and concrete do you use?
and also in the thread on the link, they guy says that he treated it with white vinegar, why did he do this? what was the idea of the vinegar? _________________ Tom

It neutralizes the acidity of the concrete which is more inportant in amphibians and fish rather than reptiles but I still was the final coat down a few times no matter what it's going in with.
Paint I use system 3 acrylics _________________ Paul

System 3 is the manufacturer and no you wouldn't have to wash it down like that for a snake viv.
I use Selco brand but they are all the same _________________ Paul
