hello eevryone, i am going to get an exo-terra on the weekend (18 x 18 x 24) and i am looking to do a fake rock structure, likje this one:
and i was just wondering if paint is bad for the cresties?? i would of thought it was, but this guy has done it. Also he put bits of sand on it, so that it looks more rock like, is this bad for the cresties too? ALso can i get polystirene from B&G?? How much is it roughly?
if you would like to check out the thread where i found it, it's here:
http://www.geckoworld.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6981&highlight=fake+rock

I'm afraid I can't help with your questions regarding the fake rock, however, I would have thought for Cresties, a more planted and Arboreal set up would be better. There are some great examples on this forum.
Good luck in whatever you choose.

Yep, a nice cocofibre back panel with live plants would look great.
Even that fake rock on the floor could be a bit too hard a landing site for all their jumping around they do

www.dartfrog.co.uk do a good selection of things like that. Very easy to spend a lot of money though!
