water dragon vivarium

[rkaylasmith]

Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum and new to water dragons and creating my own vivarium from scratch, but not new to reptiles. I thought I would post my vive making process on here for tips and pointers if I'm doing something wrong or if anyone has an easier way of doing things. Right now I have my plans and then I start construction tomorrow. I am building it out of an old entertainment centre. to water proof it, I am going to use pond liner! Here's my plan, if I forgot anything, let me know
Also planning on building my own background, a little worried about that part though.

For water proofing I have seen this informercial on tv a few times advertising this black rubber spray in a can. It looks a lot like rhino liner when dried and looks fairly easy to apply. The guy in the informercial even sprayed it on a screen door used as the bottom of a row-boat and it still floated. Might look into that, I can't think of the name for the life of me but I'll do some digging!
I work at a wholesale landscape supply store and we sell pond liner off of a 20 ft wide roll. Have you found it in a smaller size somewhere?

Ok I dug deeper into this product and it is called "flex seal" and from the reviews I have read it is a phony product that does not work. Here's a thread that talks about sealants, there's a link towards the bottom for a clear sealant. Info from companies on sealing products

This looks very cool. Its not very difficult to make backgrounds, its basicallyjust figuring out what you think looks good, glueing it, then sealing the whole thing. There is a sticky in the viv or palu construction thread with a link to an awesome site that can give you ideas and innspiration for that. I'm eager to see what you come up with! Keep us posted and good luck.

I have used lok tite sealant its says water proof on the card and so far has held either the pressure of my power heads pushing water against it. Plus I used to build my waterfall. So I would suggest you use that.

my vivarium is an old jewelry display case lined with plexiglass sealed with aquarium sealer...been holding for over a year....not a leak to speak of... hope this helps!! Resin works well, too....Just make sure it is animal safe due to the toxins or fumes Good luck!!
