VARANUS GILLENI Arid Enclosure BUILD!!

[@Varanibae]

You’ve taken diy rock backgrounds to a whole new level! Can really see huge noticeable improvements between each time you make one

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thanks man! Practice makes perfect

[@karenlee3198]

Just love how much attention to detail you've invested in translating real rock to an enclosure. Just transports your mind to a whole other part of our country. Thank you!

[@karenlee3198]

By the way do you treat the big wood pieces in any way?

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thanks! I usually just dust them off and maybe hose them down it just depends on what condition i get them in.

[@TJGarnett]

Looking forward to learning how to do rock stamps!

[@thegeckoeffect3312]

Nailed it coop!!! This is an absolute cracker!!!!

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thanks Jason!

[@EscelatesQuick]

I have very few enclosures and am very obsessed with finding new and interesting ways to do this stuff. I've probably watched 100 hours at this point from folks like SerpaDesign and Varaibae and this is probably my new favorite technique for fake rock walls.

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Awesome! It ends up being a bit heavier then some other methods but I think the end result looks much more real!

[@Hugo.terraria]

You’re my new favourite Chanel! So inspiring and naturalistic👌

[@jaybek7707]

Your best arid enclosure yet! Honestly mate, you’ve got this down to an art form now.

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Appreciate that mate!

[@falcolf]

This was so inspiring.❤ I'm hoping to adopt a plains hognose or a rosy boa next year and this has given me some wonderful ideas.❤❤❤

[@ashleywells1053]

I've been waiting for this video! Absolutely killer work, you're one of the best background makers out there!

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thanks!

[@loispadgett6306]

Well done. Looks like a very HAPPY monitor lizard. Was fun watching him chasing his food around. Thanks for sharing him with us. GOD BLESS 🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thanks for watching!

[@MsMeI]

😲😲😲 art.

[@shaneshepherdmusic8110]

Hey Coops, I love your work. I've been watching so many of your videos. Do you treat your grasses at all before putting them in?

[@graphite2786]

U can't go wrong with texture stamps 😃

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Absolutely!

[@Engineerin304]

Amazing enclosure as usual coop

[@Kahsbdkxbs]

Please make the rock stamps video :)

[@amandastakeonit7402]

Wow!!! That looks great!

[@Swedishviking2]

I’m loving these videos. The tanks look amazing. Are you a breeder or just a hobbyist?

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Both!

[@Luke-dk4ei]

Great stuff. There are terribly few videos on KZbin covering fake rock made from cement. Looking forward to your on molds video. They work for tree bark and epoxy putty, too :)

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thank you yeah it’s crazy how much you can do with it!

[@sjoerdvanbemmel9540]

Realy Nice job!! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thanks!

[@jasonrobertmitchill9750]

Hey mate Awesome looking backgrounds just wondering what product you used to make the rock stencils. As I’m in the process of making a couple backgrounds and wanna use the same technique just wondering what you used to make The stencil.

[@DairyCat]

Your mock rock work has really become something else since you started doing them. When you upgrade him to a taller enclosure you could prob give this one to your egernia pygmy skinks.

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Thanks and that’s a great idea!

[@dansullivan8]

Where do you get all your background supplies? Is it all available at bunnings most likely?

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Yep just Bunnings mate 👍

[@dansullivan8]

@@coopsreptiles2588 cheers mate

[@yoshimoto2600]

How much heavier did the enclosure get? Looks awesome mate.

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Im not sure to be honest. I try not to think about it hahah

[@danieldalton8329]

Did you paint the background with acrylic paint?

[@coopsreptiles2588]

Yep!

[@critterc0rner]

How many enclosures can one tub of tile pointing last? I have 3 blue tongue enclosures and want to give them backgrounds with ledges so they utilise all the space other than the floor.

[@barefootfishingadventures6221]

Is this alot heavy then tile point way ?

[@coopsreptiles2588]

yes absolutely

[@rhysme423]

What size enclosure did you use?

[@coopsreptiles2588]

4x2x2ft

[@kylecooper5445]

Check out this guy, can be a bit of a long watch but he has some cool methods I want to try out, particularly in using foil and animal hide offcuts for making rock texture youtube.com/@fauxrock

Hello Just wanted to ask if you can use a 90x45x90cm enclosure for 1 Boyd’s Forest dragon for its hole life from juvenile to adult
