14 foot bearded dragon. So, spruce up your lizard cages with these fun and interesting projects!
The fake rock landscape project pictured above took a very long time to complete. It was quite challenging, but fun at the same time. My goal was to create something that did more than just cover the back wall of a reptile terrarium.
I wanted to try and fill the cage with a naturalistic feel.
I wanted to provide a slice of the wild-that was as realistic as possible for a pet lizard.
If you attempt to build any of the projects (concerning lizard cages or any other use) on this website
it is at your own risk, specifically at the risk of your own pet. Lizard-landscapes.com cannot be held responsible
for accident or injury pertaining to the use of the techniques described on this website.
Does your reptile habitat (terrarium) need a waterfall? Check out the image below to watch a three-part series on how to build a waterfall for your terrarium. The techniques provided will hopefully motivate you to enhance your reptile habitat beyond your pet's wildest dreams. It might also improve the look of your living room too!
What about creating something different, like a medieval castle on which your pet gecko can climb? Get creative with what could be considered a lizard-landscape. Click on the castle below to watch a two-part video series detailing the construction of this castle project.
Do you need to build a model volcano for a school project? Or possibly provide a volcano for a pet gecko or tarantula to make it's home? Check out the project below that details how to construct
a volcano model.
Be sure to stop by the project below where my bearded dragon becomes the first lizard to walk on the Moon...
Whether you're trying to create a lunar landscape for a pet lizard or a school project -check out the web page below to learn how to create this Moon landscape.
In addition to the lizard cage projects, be sure to check out the new short film "Big Dexter". The story of a 14 foot bearded Dragon!

The fake rock landscape projects pictured below are much less time-consuming, but still provide an interesting structure for your pet (what ever you may have) to climb on, hide under or bask upon.
Below, is pictured a beginner level fake rock landscape. This is where you might want to start,
as it's probably not going to get much more basic and easy than this very simple rock bridge.
Even though this project is very simple, it still provides a potential basking spot, hiding place
and something on which to climb. So, include some interesting lizard decor and your lizard cages will never be the same! When feeding your reptile you might want to feed him in a separate container, having live reptile food climb and hide in and around the fake rock might be tough for your lizard to find.
Your pet lizard might just increase it's activity with something on which to climb. It will also feel more secure -being able to hide from whatever threats it's perceiving (perhaps your friends that visit!)
The next project is a nice little corner unit that's more of an intermediate level.
Depending on your time and/or skill level, you could spend weeks if not months adding all kinds of detail.
Or maybe you're looking for something a little different, like this
lizard Temple, which probably falls under the beginner -leaning towards intermediate level.
Pictured below, is a much more basic Castle project you might want to do just for yourself.
The techniques involved in creating this castle can provide an authentic
stone look, giving it a very realistic appearance.
Of course it's perfect for lizards such as dragons, but
there might be several types of pets that could enjoy this.
Each project has a demonstrational video, showing the steps it took to create it. Check out the project's picture to watch a video detailing the construction.
Check out the Lizard store for products like t-shirts featuring designs like the image below.
Or how about a fake tree project? The structure below might suit the terrarium of a tarantula, tree frog, snake, Vietnamese centipede, as well as certain types of lizards.
You know you've always wanted a little haunted house.
This one's a bit of a stretch to be a lizard landscape, but geckos and especially tarantulas would definitely appreciate the project pictured below. Take your time, and put your own creative angle into
Building your haunted house model.
Here's a project that could be considered the ultimate in beginner level model building. Building a model Stonehenge really just consists of a bunch of rectangles. As long as you have rectangles, and their color is gray, all you need to do is look at pictures of Stonehenge to create this mysterious lizard landscape.
You know you've always wanted to see your pet lizard attacking a city like Godzilla...Click on the image below to see a video on how to create your very own fake rock miniature city.
