Excavator Clay question

[Derrek97]

Aright, so i was thinking and since excavator clay hardens "like cement" could you use it to hold rocks up in a viv? like find a big rock, let's say 12 inches, boil it and all that jazz, then stick say 4 inches of it under the clay... would it hold? I could make some pretty sweet rock formations with that and was wondering if anyone has tried this before.

I used to use the Excavator clay stuff in an older enclosure for my leo and did this. It works quite well.

It would work but I recommend first setting something Under the Rock so that the Geckos do not dig out enough sand to cause rock to fall

Thanks for the quick responses I'll surely try this as soon as i get a few vivariums switched around

Seems too brittle to me. Mine would seem to crumble away even with the light mistings I would give me Leo's every now and then.

If you are using an UTH it says on the excavator package not to use with UTHs because it will cause the clay to dry out excessively.

I know. There was no uth.
