Hallo everyone
Been browsing and drooling on the site for years now! Finally have the courage and the finance and most importantly the right animal for a natural viv.
So here is a pic of the cage.
Sorry for the crappy quality, was taken with my phone.
The cage is 90cm high. So nice and deep, Ideal for cresteds, which coincidentally is what i am planning on keeping in there.
First thing I did was start with the background, which meant paiting it with silicone. For this I used Den Braven Black Marine silicone. This was the only one readily available locally.
Now for my first question, how thick should the silicone be, cause light still comes through some spots, but it is all covered in silicone, will this be ok for GS background? Here is a photo to demonstrate what i mean.
Thats it for now, have to bake the wood. Also need to play around with my method of attaching the peat moss to the GS. I was thinking of using a mixture of Silicon and white spirits/mineral spirits/mineral turpentine.
Also, here is a picture of the one crested current setup and the crested that will go in the setup.
