    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have some coir backgrounds left from many years ago when I used to build these for shows. These are made with great stuff, black silicone and coir (coconut bedding) with some wood and extras built in. The backgrounds are non-toxic, can be soaked in water and easily cleaned. Each will include 4 strips of industrial strength (and I mean INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH!) velcro to attach these to your tank and they can be used horizontally or vertically. Can be used in tanks with cresties, day geckos, different frogs, etc...
Live plants such as pothos will attach themselves to the background or you can stick fake plants directly into the foam (but this will leave a hole when you remove the plants).

Pictured from left to right:
20 gallon long background - has a nice coconut hide built in $40
10 gallon - 1/2 coconut for feeding or planting $25
10 gallon - cork bark flat built in $20
10 gallon - cork bark tube, great for shy geckos or frogs. $25

USPS shipping to lower 48 is $8 each.

Those look really neat. Couple of questions to ask of you:

1. How fragile are those? [will the foam board hold up to being taken out, moved around etc.]

2. If displaying animals in them, how does one sanitize? [i.e. for baby turtles]


Cheers,

Huck
 
I have one that is bent up because it was stored wrong, so I stood on it to straighten it out...they are pretty sturdy. I have sprayed mine down with chlorhexidine (for the ones I have built into the cage). I have some hides I built the same way with the same materials and I just soak them in soapy water and wipe them with a sponge and let them air dry.
