Well here is my effort at 'natural' caves.
I started with the things plant pots sit in. one made with one of them and one with a wax worm tub. like. . .
This is the equipment I used. . . [some of it]
So I put on the expanding foam [sorry didnt get pics]
When it dried. . .
Then it was grouted. . . [ignore the other 2 things]
Then it was Pva and sand. .
^^ another one I did.
Final product . . .
and
In position . .
I also made these humid hides a bit nicer by PVA ing sand on them.
Thats all folks, tune in next time. . .

Well one is for the male Leopard to go in when he is shedding and the other bigger one is a lay box.
