Hey everyone. My name's Justin and I've been looking through a few dozen construction journals of the awesome vivs on here for the past few weeks. I have a few crested geckos and would love to use some of the methods I've seen on here to make them an awesome background and water feature. I know crested geckos and dart frogs live in different environments, so I will not be making a viv exactly like you all do for your frogs. I have been inspired by Grimm and Raf and their amazing backgrounds, and would like to use the techniques they use to make fake vines, rocks, and roots as well as a waterfall. I have put together a short list of items I think would work well for this project, with links to a full description. Could you look through my list and let me know if everything sounds alright? Some things may serve the same purpose, and thus may not be needed. I'm most confused with the correct types of sealants to use for cement, grout, and the like. I think I will use an 18x18x24 Zoo Med terrarium, so I was also wondering if the amounts shown in the list sound right. Thank you!
