Yup, I re-did Dudley's viv again!

So far, he refuses to step foot on his new stair-case thing, or his ramp though.

Here it is! I made the 2 platforms myself, and I found the awesome sparkley rock when I was on vacation in SD. I made the little ramp too.

Rock!

He found a new head rest, LOL.

I set him on his new decorations here... He didn't go on them himself, of course. That would require effort.

I'm starting to sell my DIY rocks too! Here is Dud posing on one I made for somebody.

Enjoy!

Wow, that looks great!

I wish I could re-do my ball python's tank but she's so finicky I'm too nervous to change anything (typical ball python, ha). She already only uses a specific brand and type of rock cave--she won't go in any other ones I buy :lol:.

omg that looks incredible!! Very natural

Great job!

What are you making the rock platforms out of and how long do they take to make? I think it's awesome that you're selling them. Are you selling them locally or just as online requests? And do you profit from their sale, or are you not marking up? **Excuse the questions ^^ I'm just curious!

Thanks!

LOL @ your ball python, Sasami! That's so funny.

@Amanda: I make them with styrofoam, cover them in 4-5 layers of grout, paint them, and seal them. They take about a week to make. I'll sell them to anyone online who is willing to pay the shipping, but local is a little easier!
And I'm making a little money off of them, but they are still cheaper than most pet store decorations. Most of the small/medium ones are $20-$30, so they aren't too expensive.

That's really cool! Easy for a hobby to become much more ^^ I hope you're still doing the paint art, I still have my Kina/Kaysha commission you did

Thanks!
I haven't been doing that lately, since no one has really wanted anything. I'd do a pet portrait is some one asked me too though. I'm glad you still have yours!!
