terrarium backgrounds

If the cork bark is not already flat when you get it, you can pretty much forget flattening it out yourself. Corkbark is very resistant to water soaks -- which is why it is so slow to degrade whether using in a terr or use to cork a bottle wine. Even "flat" pieces will not be flat across the back in their entirety. Still can make for a nice background. This is my 90gal terr (not a viv) with cork background:








If you have a creative bent, you can also create a background using GreatStuff which you then coat with a thin layer of grout/cement. There are a number of sites -- including Youtube -- addressing such if you Google.
