For the first day of this challenge, we will start off with one of the easier ways to make a background, but it can also be one of the most boring.
Already Made Background
Some may consider it cheating to use an already made background but there are many of ways you can spruce it up and make it look like your own.
- Dendroboard – FroggyKnight
Vivarium Works makes some backgrounds that can be dropped into your tank and look awesome!
AquaTerra also makes some pretty cool backgrounds.
Otherwise there is always Exo-Terra’s premade backgrounds
Or LLLReptile sells a pre-made foam insert for Exo Terra cages.
Pros:
-Very easy to install
-Messiest part is siliconing it in place
-Easy way to get a great looking background if you aren’t artistic/ creative
Cons:
-Not very unique unless you modify it
-Can get rather expensive if you want a high quality
-No cure time or waiting time on the background itself, just whatever you use to attach it.
Have you ever used an already made background? Did you do anything to it to make it look like your own? How did it turn out? Stay tuned for day 2 where we cover letter B!

Amazing – some of those look real!
yeah! I tried to find some photos of some of the backgrounds which did look real. I am hoping to add lots of photos to the subsequent posts as well, because after all that’s the pretty cool thing is seeing all the possibilities!
Those are awesome backgrounds! I love frogs, and all herps in general.
I love frogs too! 🙂 This whole month will feature backgrounds, but normally every couple of weeks I highlight a different kind of frog.
These are really nice. I will be sending this post on to someone I know would be interested in this. Thank you for sharing!
Not a problem! I had a good time writing these posts. It is pretty good inspiration for the next tank I am going to build.
Those backgrounds are very nice. They look very realistic. I’m looking forward to your posts!
Thanks! It is pretty cool to see how real some people can get them to look!
What a cool theme you have for the challenge! Nice to meet you.
