Terrarium Wallpaper

[Heatheranne]

Lynn's are awesome!

If you're creative, there are lots of options...
Aquarium and reptile backgrounds
Fabric - lots of prints
Scrapbooking papers
Printed photos
Magazine photos
Drawings
Paintings
Wrapping paper

I use forest like aquarium vinyl cling backgrounds for now.

There's always the option of great stuff foam backgrounds or styrofoam backgrounds.

Is there any style you're looking for? Certain colors? Prints? Flat or 3D?

Lynn, great idea!! I've been struggling with the background of the vertical tank i'm making for my gray's tree frog...I wanted to do "sky" for part of it but was worried about VOCs of any sort of blue tint/paint. On the outside of the glass makes so much sense.

Most pet stores sell the background wallpaper on rolls for less than or around $1.00/foot.
There are tons of great informative picture heavy threads explaining how to do the Great Stuff/styrofoam/silicone/grout/coconut fiber type 3D backgrounds if you're feeling ambitious. I'm in research and material gathering mode right now and can't stop checking out everyone's awesome ideas.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the research mode. I'm just looking for some rainforest prints or just forest for that matter. I'm not going to do great stuff or anything like that for my pacmans/tomatoes, I'm not really looking for anything 3D seeing as I want as much floor space as possible for them. Maybe someday if I get some dart frogs or something like that. There is one pet store I haven't checked and I'm going to go check it out sometime soon, just haven't had the chance. PetSmart and PetCo just want ridiculous prices for bad wallpaper rolls.. it's like $2.00 a foot and they don't even look good. I saw some for a dollar a foot at a fish place, but it was all aquatic themed. It probably doesn't help that I'm extremely picky.. but I don't think it's wrong to want things you'll be looking at for a long time to look good and be similar to the frogs natural habitat.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys.
