From carved spray foam coated in soil. To mixing in pieces of bark or painting on quickcrete for a rocky texture. Or even simply attaching stone tile directly to the glass with silicone, in the case of #oliverthetoad 's enclosure.

Finally, its done.

This vivarium will be ready for its mourning gecko inhabitants in a few weeks time. After the ecosystem within stabilizes. The plants have settled in and insect populations have grown.

Started a new project recently! This 8-gallon BiOrb will eventually house a colony of hawaiian morph Mourning Geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris).

Somewhat of a follow up to Thursday's post. Under all the plants, all the leaf litter, soil and moss. This is what my Solomon Island Leaf Frog enclosure looks like.

Just put my C. versicolor tarantula Cobalt into a new enclosure the other day! She's warming up to it quickly 😊
