Abbie PasAbbie Pas: Recently bought my ball python a new enclosure made of all black PVC. Tried as I might, I could not decorate it enough to make it look… Satisfying.

I got two of the 24x24 pieces (used from Amazon Returns). Upon arrival there was no damage but I did clean them really well with some reptisafe cleaner to protect my girl. They fit easily into the vivarium - I used two small pieces of Velcro on each to hold them against the back of the enclosure, allowing them to be removed when I do a deep clean. Since they’re styrofoam, I was easily able to stick some beautiful succulents into them to add some more texture!

I really cannot complain about the looks of them. I’m never close enough to them to notice anything out of the ordinary that some other reviewers mention. I will say my styrofoam seems to be more compressed, therefore I’m not seeing any future issues with bacteria. They hold up well to misting. I’ll update if there’s any issues with mold/mildew.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: To start, this looks way better in person than a lot of reviews said. I didn't mind how it looked at all. It was for our baby bearded dragon, and he loved to climb it and jump around. With that being said, it didn't last long.

If you feed small insects to whatever you house in this tank, they WILL get behind it. We feed crickets and dubia roaches, and had a horrible time keeping them from getting through every gap to behind the wall, since there are gaps in the back for wires, and the insects can climb this wall. We tried folded up reptile carpet to block it, which helped mainly with crickets, but last night found a colony of dubia roaches behind it after only a week. Although looked great, way more trouble than it is worth.

There were even crickets climbing the wall, and then getting to the mesh top and trying to get out. Which also made it hard for our dragon to hunt them.

If using for a reptile that doesn't need insects, definitely give it a shot. Fbut for bearded dragons, I would avoid this.

Julien Varnica: It is quite fragile piece and got delivered completely broken but after adding black silicone and coco fibre it looks nice and much more sturdy

Shannon L.: The wall is not hard to cut and fit. I had a foam cutter so I used it to make the piece the right size for my 40 gallon terrarium. The problem that I’m having is that my juvenile leopard gecko is going behind it sometimes and to the very top of the wall. When he climbs to the very top, he stays for hours. I am afraid he will get burned from the lights. This also presents a problem when I need him to eat. The only way to get him off the top of the wall is to open the top of the terrarium; and I’m afraid flipping the latches could hurt him. I cut the piece perfectly to fit snuggly in the terrarium but didn’t anticipate the baby leo taking up residence at the very top. I could cut more from the top but then all the cords I’m trying to cover will show. I think I could use a specific kind of spray foam that is safe for reptiles to completely fill the tiny space at the top and paint it and do the same on the sides. This seems like a lot of trouble. For now, I am going to keep the beautiful backdrop and hope that when the leopard gecko is an adult it will be more practical. I am going with a stick-on rock shelving paper until he grows up a bit.

Mrs.CMrs.C: I minus 1 star because the foam is not a desert sand color like in the pic. I took another star off because for a piece of foam and some paint this is as little pricey it probably only cost the seller like 2 dollars to make. Now on to the pros. I have a 90 gallon tank 48x22 now I bought a 36×18 because I dont have a lid on my tank [because all lids block part of the uvb enabling your reptile to not absorb enough] so I didnt want to risk my beardie climbing up and escaping and the length doesnt come in a 48in. I ended up with too much space to cover so I ended up cutting the backdrop in half and putting it on each end of my tank so my beardie can stop fighting her reflection. My depth is 18in deep so the 36 was a perfect size. I ended buying a cheap background from ebay for $12 and I absolutely love the end result and so does my girl blue. Her favorite chill spot is the the top of the foam, she climbs the foam all the way to the top and rests there until she sees it's feeding time or when its sleeping time, she sleeps in her all living hideaway cave which I highly recommend!

UPDATE:

Does not do well for your growing dragon. My girl is about a year now and when she...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Very nice and easy to cut foam I ordered the larger one for my temporary turtle tank "55 gallons" as a background and I gotta say it came out very nice. The foam is about around an inch on avarage and it hides cuts and scars very well. I didnt find any problems with this item or the following project. This wasent ment to be under water, because foam floats obviously so what I did was, cleared the tank of everything. Rocks, decoration, and what not. I then cleaned the back panel with alcohol and a rag to clean the surface. Then I cut the foam using the face of the tank to help guide me to fit it in perfectly. Then after I cut the foam and cleaned of all the little heads. I put aquarium silicone on the back '' be genourus with it''. Then let it dry over night with the foam bearing weight of some sort rocks, logs, toolboxes. Then test it by setting it where ever you put it and fill it with water. Don't put everything back in then test. If it holds fine then build back your tank if it doesn't scrape of ththe silicone and repeat previous steps. All in all its wonderful to have and it looks like a million bucks, I hope my review was helpful and thank you for reading.
