BRB enclosure

This is my setup for my BRB, step by step..

Please remember, I dont know what alle the materials Ive used is called in english, sorry bout that..

This project took me 1-2 weeks to do from the old BCI setup..

First I cleaned it up, removing some of the background
Two bottles of foam to make some structure for the new background




The next 5 pics is how I draw the lines for how I wanted it to look like



Cut cut cut


Cut cut cut

This hole is for plants

Cut cut cut

This is some hard work, putting some brown sticky mass on to the structure and then some "dirt" (Dont know how to say it, it isn't regular dirt) on to the sticky mass, I do this a little piece of the time, so it dont dry up..

Use your fingers to get it right.
If its going on some big surface, use a DVD cover to even it out..










This is the same thing done, for more plants..





Plants going in..




To make the light less annoying, I put some of the brown sticky thing on the lamp




Under the bark theres a heatmat connected to a thermostat, on the picture the heat isn't turned up yet, therefore showing only roomtemperature

This is what it look like at night


There has been a few changes along the way and this is how it looks like at the moment:




Im sorry about the lack of information about the materials and my incorrect spelling

Enjoy..

Re: BRB enclosure

That is one majorly nice set up. It does look as though it would be a challenge to keep clean. Just curious, how would you clean that dirt on the foam if it was fouled? I can imagine your BRB would love that place!

Thanks =) I go through the complete setup once or twice a week, just to make sure the BRB didn't leave me anything thats not suppose to be there, I also check/look every day just in case.. It really isn't a problem, she always lay her things at a place where the dirt can be replaced..
