Thanks guy's, a labour of love.
Here is a smaller enclosure that I built, which has a B&G yearling Jungle in it. It is normally in better shape, but Silas has taken to hanging off the "decorative" plants up against the back wall of the enclosure. As he get's bigger the more they fall over, I don't think he realises that they're not supposed to be used for climbing on! Oh well as long as he's happy, so am I!

small enclosure

Width 1000mm Height 500mm Depth 450mm (not including storage cabinet below)

Heating: 1x ExoTerra 150W Reramic Heat Emitter
1x Dalbarb Heat lamp cage

Lighting: Day 1x 60cm/24" ExoTerra Repti-Glo 2.0 UVB full spectrum Terrarium fluro 20Watts
Night Light: 1x Arcadia Marine Blue 60cm/24" Moonlight 18Watts

Ventilation: There is a vent down low on one end, and holes drilleed low down along the back to let fresh air in. Stale air escapes through the hood which sits on top of the tank (houses both day &night fluro's)

Use custom wood for all components of the enclosure, primed, undercoated and painted.
Lay sheet of contact on the floor of the enclosure to assist in cleaning

I use ZooMed Repti-bark as a flooring substrate, some people don't like it, but I love the bush look to my enclosures. It certainly isn't the cheapest way to do it, newspaper and kitty litter are favourites as well.

sneakypete the encl. looks great were did you get the bakdrop?

I made it.
Before you ask. Glue lots of bits of thick polystyrene foam to the timber using maxbond. Then pick at, melt with a blowtorch, the foam till you get a rough rock look. Then mix up cement with boncrete to a thick glue-like consistency and cover the entire thing. It took me multiple layers to get the thick ness and coverage that I wanted, but when done it is solid as rock. Just try punching it and I guarantee you will break your knuckles!
Then I mixed up three different colours of oxides (mocha, teracotta, and blanc with bondcrete and painted it randomly to simulate rock look.The final step is to cover the entire thing (in small sections ata time) in bondcrete and sprinkle with washed sand. This gives the realistic feel of sandstone.

Type in "fake rock wall" in the search bar here on APS and you should get a fair few results which people have posted, giving their methods.
