Making a mold of a tree stump
Hey,
I have a atherton carpet python and I wanted to make a new cage for him (the one I have is pretty boring, and theres lots of things I would like to improve on with the next one I make. (Dimentions 60 cm high (around 2 feet) 30 deep (around one foot) and 1 meter long (around 3 foot).
Anyways, I was thinking it would be cool to have a stump of a small tree in the corner of the cage and have it hollowed so it can be like a hidden hide (that sounds weird..). However, as everyone is aware, wood from the outdoors contains a lot of nasties and i dont want to introduce them into the cage. I was thinking of using some substance (eg. plaster of paris) to coat the base of a tree to creat an caste of it. With this caste I would line (cm or so) with fiberglass or something else that i can paint (after taking photos of the base of the tree). I have heard germans some how heating up PVC piping and covering it in sand and what not and some how (i think its magic!) making them look like real branchs.
any help on this topic would be wonderfull (or any other suggestions for materials to use would be much appreshated (sorry about spelling)
