I didn't know if anyone has used this yet....but it could have so many uses with our desert species of tortoises

here's a video

That is cool!

 

[AustinASU]

i've been waiting for something like this to come out

 

[CourtneyAndCarl]

I saw that but wondered how they got it to do it and if it was actually safe

 

[tortadise]

Pretty cool. Probably expensive though, Could you imagine getting enough for a sulcata if you didnt have good dirt for them to burrow. "uhhhh yes Id like to order a 6 yard truck of this please" ha. I prefer to use real soil. But i know a thing or too about dirt so it helps. Good mud usually does the trick, but that stuff is pretty cool looking.

I am on my iPad. Some videos don't work good for me. Does it say anything about being safe to get wet, after it is dry? I will be getting it for my Uro, but would love to use it for some landscaping outside for my Leo.
Looks like a good product. Thanks for sharing.

It says if you soak it again it'll slowly turn back to a soft clay so you can remold it....so in my guessing outside would be a bad idea. But for you Uro it's perfect...and it's not expensive. you can buy 25lbs for $16 bucks

 

[wellington]

Thanks. My Uro is going to be getting a really cool new home. I did finally get to see the video on their website. So I at least know,how to use it.

 

[AustinASU]

I was thinking making most of the area covered by it especially hide outs and all....and then somehow in the middle put sea sand in the middle and thats where ill put the food and water bowl

Thats Awesome

 

[MooingTricycle]

Oh god, i could NOT imagine cleaning that entire enclosure... honestly not something i would want to do with a larger collection.

Say, for my snakes. Those Zoo type setups look super sweet, but for everyday keeping are totally impractical, IMHO

 

[AustinASU]

Yeah,but to make it permanent you could go over all the surfaces with a clear coat of epoxy.

 

[TortoiseBoy1999]

Looks cool to me!

That's a great idea. Do you think it will hold up through the process. Would you think a spray epoxy or brush on?

yeah I'm pretty sure it will, it'll be tricky, but manageable!!! I may take a blow torch to it first to make sure theirs no moisture left on the surface.

 

[wellington]

Let us know as soon as you know if it's working or not. You will probably get to it before me, unless I can find it in the stores tomorrow. I am so excited about the stuff.

 

[AustinASU]

I haven't seen it in stores yet, but i hope to have this enclosure done in this following month if i can get everything.
