Building Terrarium - Rock Wall
Hey whats up pll!!! Im new to here, just registered last night. Im in the process of building a new Terrarium. Im not quite ready to start on the rock wall yet, but I was wondering what you guys think would be the best Mortor mix or tile grout? I almost bought some mortor mix the other day but I wasnt sure what would be best to use.

Re: Building Terrarium What you think? rock wall??
mortar, i believe, is what most people prefer. You just have to be sure to seal it and let it cure for about a month, so all the toxins evaporate.
What's going in it? Animal wise that is.
welcome!

All that height is going to be wasted on a BP. you really need more in the way of floor space.
They will climb a bit as hatchlings but they are primarily a terrestrial species.
Most of the time it will be down on the ground.

Yea I thought bout the height before I biult it. Thats why im gonna have different hight floors levels in it. I dont have room for somthing wider, Thats why I had to biuld it that way. Its better than what hes in now, a 25 gallon tank.

I've never done this but have read about it. You can try experimenting with the mortar and adding some tile grout in as well. Mix it up in different ratios to see how it works. The tile grout will add some elasticity to the mortar. When I built mine I used mortar with some additives.
