Hiya I was given a bearded dragon, who has been named Stan. He's in a 6 foot x 4 foot viv.
His decor is boring and I want to enrich his mind.
I am thinking of making him caves and platforms out of foam, problem I am having in the UK is finding products that are reptile safe.
I have watched videos and is much as I can tell I need foam sheets, expanding foam, grout and a sealant. Does anyone know what brands I can use?
Thank you for any help :0

Thank you
Here is the response
I haven't worked with foam like that myself, but others on the forum have used mod podge to seal projects. That should be available in the UK. Any non toxic grout and sealer should work though. I don't think the grout material is inherently dangerous. The DIY section should have some good examples of similar projects.

Thank you for reply. I have read so many articles...one says things are safe...others say complete opposite.
Because I'm scared I might cause him harm I might stick to making him constructions out suitable wood...ie ones from reptile shops and attach them together will aquarium sealant. He needs a dig box....but OBS not feed him in it and a hide. Also looked up what plants are safe...basically most of the herbs.
We have lots of pets but he is definitely the one that brings the most worry
