Here's my first attempt at a ten gallon enclosure creation(Poecilotheria pederseni):
I really like it a lot. The door that swings down, which has the vents on it, needs to be redone because I screwed up a little with the hole saw. Overall I'm very happy with it. The backdrop is sold (specifically in this case at PetSmart) as hermit crab carpet. It comes perfectly fitted for common ten gallon aquariums for only $5. The live plants are awesome and the hide is tapered to a close at the bottom (though she never goes in it; she likes the plants). It's basically a RobC setup by the book.
The only thing I didn't do with this one was create my own backdrop. What seems to be the norm for backdrop setups no matter what your technique is the brown caulk. The backdrop I tried to make last night for my regalis enclosure was made on thin white foam board from Lowe's with clear silicone. I vastly underestimated the importance of brown.
I've looked around and can't find precisely what people who create their ow backdrops use as far as brown silicone. Is it something I can get from Lowe's without having to order it online and wait for shipping (I will if I have to but I want it now!)? RobC talks WAY too fast for me to catch what he uses. Not too mention he mumbles.
Thanks in advance for any responses!
