not too bad for a first attempt at a fake rock

[colleen0904]

This is the rock I made for my leos' tank. I made it using polystyrene and grout and sealant, following directions from Lizard care, and fake rock wall landscapes. I made it so that it fits perfectly in the corner of the tank to maximize space. There are steps on the one side so the leos can climb up if they want to, and they can also hide underneath the structure. It was super easy to make, and quite fun too! I don't think it turned out half bad for my first try. What do you guys think? I plan on making more rocks and hides for the tanks soon.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, it's not completely done yet. I still need to sand down certain areas where the sealant dried all goopy, and add a bit of sand to the steps for traction. Just a few minor adjustments.

It looks great for a first try. Good job!

I know me too then after I was done with it I dropped a jar on it

I made an awesome bridge with a hut underneath it, and a built in food bowl, and was waiting for it to dry before grouting it. The next day I dropped a banana on it and it split in half. I wanted to cry. It was gonna be awesome. Hopefully I can remake it though...
