So my beardie Rosco is quickly outgrowing his cage. I've decided to make my own terrarium via other DIY threads.
Here's Rosco a few days after we got him.
So first on the list was to build the frame for the new enclosure
Next was staining the wood with a safe water based stain
This ended up being a bit more of a pain, I wanted to go with a mahogany color and what I received ended up purple when it dried. So I ended up sanding off most of the stain and redoing it. Turned out much better but not exactly what I was going for.
I'm now in the process of making the styrofoam walls, then I plan on using a tile adhesive over the styrofoam to create the fake rocks.
This is my progress so far if anyone has some input or ideas let me know!
