New Leo Hide (Pic Heavy) in progress

So i decided to get to working on a new hide for Dilaw Tuko and Primerose in there 55gal Viv. So here is a few pics of the raw styrofoam as im building there hide.
1st one is the base of the whole hide. It has 2 levels and a nice "deck" if you will running around the entire structure.

This pick shows the side entrance to the top level inside the hide

Just the back of the hide that will be against the glass

Added the front archway just for looks

Now adding the stairs and platform leading to the front entrance of the top level inside the hide

Top shot of the whole hide

Close up of the stairs and platform looking underneath it to the inside of the lower level hide


I will still prolly add some things or tweek some stuff but the next step is going to be the grouting so i will post pics of that phase more then likely and ill be sure to post finish pics when i get there and ill post pics of it in there Viv

its well good... i want to do something like this

Awesome! I can't wait to see the finished product! I wish I could do stuff like this, but I'm not that creative!

I want to make some of my own hides i've been saving pieces of polystyrene for months now

Pics of the First coat of Grout

Looking good so far.

Looks awesome! I can't wait to see it finished!

I can't wait either

i got to get some foam lol... people from the uk where you get it from? x

Check your local home improvement type stores. You can use the home insulation type styrofoam/polystyrene insulation. Any type of styrofoam will work. The styrofoam i am using now came from my tv when i bought it new.

oh ok fair enough thanks x

I got mine from Wickes, Looney Homebase and B&Q in my area were pants!!! Spaceboard also works quite well xx

2nd coat of sealer on the new hide. Once this coat dries ill re-assemble everything and give it another coat or 2 of sealer then into the Viv it goes

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Finally finished. Letting it dry more till after i eat dinner then it will be going into the Viv.

yayy its so awesome!

Thanx it took a while to get done but it was worth it. Im gonna get it in to the Viv here in a little bit and ill take some pictures of it in the viv and get them posted.
