    Really nice explanations! As a suggestion, you will find it faster to get a deep, 3-D texture if you first put on the darker color, and let it seep into all the cracks. Follow that up with the lighter red with a dry brush technique, leaving the dark in the cracks.it’ll be a lot faster and the end result will give you much more natural, looking rocks, with much less effort!

    I use animal safe sillicone /glue to put the ledge foam together, adds a bit more strength before foaming

    I did this in a 40 gallon and it came out beautifully
  • @dirtye1981
    Thanks for the videos. I’m following what you have done to make my own. Can we get an update on how this held up and how your dragon enjoys it?
  • @gregnielsen4019
    Great job Ryan! Your Chanel is great and better every time I watch your videos. Keep up the good work too.... 👏 👍
  • @Supra_Na96
    Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to break down your videos with step by step directions. Everything I’ve seen so far in multiple videos is awesome!!
  • @ayarlett
    Thanks for this video. I am currently building the same for my bearded dragon who should be really happy once I finish it. Appreciate what you have done and so far, so good for me!
  • @mannyc7747
    Amazing work, I'm gonna go for it, you've inspired me, thanks
  • A few notes: 1) You should only use dry lock original, not extreme 2) Add silicone between the “slats” / rock layers, in addition to the toothpicks 3) Wear an n95 mask when carving 4) Water-based sealant like minwax works best 5) Start with darkest color first, then add your neutrals, then highlights

    I explained a bit of this in my video on building the artificial tree. I think it’s the third in the series. Great work!

    EXACTLY what I was looking for! Soon to be a first time Leo gecko owner and I want it to be solid home, amazing work man!
  • @danielleb.7055
    This turned out amazing! The black paint totally took it to the next level. I have seen some people make different shades of the drylock/ cement dye and dry brush it on. I've personally never done this but maybe it'd be easier to do than paint the cracks? Idk but the hand painted cracks looked awesome. I guess it just it comes down preference. Anyway it's awesome have a great night
