Set up the enclosure for our pygmies!
I just can't wait.
If you have any suggestions please let me know!
Also what would be good to line the walls of the enclosure!
Heres a few pics of the process!

Let me know what you think!
 
Looks very nice :) Oh gosh, the pain you're gonna have to deal with cleaning that :eek: I would add a few small plants at the front so it looks more full; Im all about foliage :eek:
 
I don't think cleaning it will be a big deal with enough springtails and little buggie cleaners, right?
 
I love your tank. There are a few things you can do for covering the background
Greatstuff you can spary the foam on the background its super easy and water proof Iv you use the yellow stuff you can cover it will silicone and coco fiber if you use the black stuff you wont have to do anything at all. Second is corkbark you can silicone staggered corkbark pieces to the background then stuff spagmen moss in the empty spots. Third is my fav clay I like to use redart clay mixture with calcium the cover with moss this helps keep up the humidity the plants love to grow on it and the cleanup crew gets extra calcium from the clay with inturn helps the pygs get more calcium.
 
Is there anyway to get this stuff off at the end? If a couple years down the road when it might be reused for another type of animal does the foam come off or is it one of those, you put it on and never comes off type deal?

I want to get air plants a a few smaller things to fill it up. We got another umbrella and it was just way to big haha.

The clay just sticks to the sides?
Where can I get it? Like an art supply store?
 
If your to put expanding foam on the back just put it to cardboard or polystyrene sheet instead of the glass instead of direct to the tank so you can just take it out an re use the tank
