Rodney's tank is a small aquarium turned on end. Made the front and door from acrylic/plexiglass stuff. The background is made from a carved piece of styrofoam with reptibark stuck on with silicone caulking. Several live plants. Repti earth as substrate.

He seems to like it :)

Looks pretty good I want to do a background like that with my boa.

P.S is silicone caulking safe i know it's used for shower's and stuff right.

you have to get the right kind. Make sure it is 100% silicone (basically what is used to caulk aquariums)

Looks fantastic, reminds me of the design of a certain tarantula guru :)

Cool set up you did a awesome job. I couldn't find him either until Kat pointed him out. He blends in perfectly.

Thanks to Kat I now see him in all 4 (granted, only bits in the 3rd one). It looks great!

Haha I love finding things and I guess I have a nack for it. I spotted him in the first pic right off the bat.

Noooo... I just have a mental issue and seem to focus on details in an odd way. It actually can be annoying because sometimes I have issues looking at the bigger picture. :O_o:

Thanks - yes it holds humidity fairly well. I'm gonna make you read my original post again to find out what the substrate is... :D lol

You sound like me - it's hard for me to focus on the big picture because I'm wayyy too much into detail. I think that's why I'm an artist because of the detail thing. Maybe you should try art? Photography? It can be a disadvantage AND an advantage.
