Ignore that cat. That's "Chewie" , he's very naughty.

Do you believe him. He was curious about the smell? I think?

Looks great! I always like to see how everyone puts their decor together. I am constantly inspired on this forum.

very nice. what do you bake it at and what temp? just curious

Hi Adam,
Did you get my PM?

I baked them to long! I think
45 minutes on 325 degrees
They had a sort of burned smell to them ?
I took them back out last night.
Soaked them in bleach in the tub.....and they are rinsing in de-chlorinated water all night.
It removed the odor completely.



Now I'm happy.

I'm experimenting ............ making a vine from 100% polyester rope / it's painted green ( acrylic paint) and so far has 2 coats of 100% brown silicone smeared on on it. Looks cool ! I just have to be sure about the paint? It is apparently safe for "dishes and the dish washer" If I decide to use this vine I will wrap it around the wood? We'll see?









Sorry for the ugly yellow towel in the photos. It is hanging in the basement , so it needed something behind it for the photos.

Cool!! Where did you get the wood/jungle vine? Chewie is adorable, looks like my cat around ANYthing food or frog related. He'll steal nightcrawlers, crickets, you name it.

The artificial vine looks awesome, I'm planning on making some from vinyl tubing, your's looks much more authentic though, I'll have to experiment with that too!

Both enclosures look great!!!
