I start building Chateau le Gu today and I want to do a lot of foam and mortar stuff. Has anyone tried it with their Tegu’s, and if so, how did it hold up? I think if I went thicker painting it on, maybe more of a spackling technique, it should hold up.
The idea is to use spray foam on a base structure, carve it into the desired design (usually rock), then paint it with a thinned out grout or concrete slurry.
It works GREAT with smaller herps and will last near indefinitely, but Tegu’s are quite a bit heftier than geckos and more destructive than iguanas. I have this horrible image of spending a week on a wall only to come home and find the boys punched through the grout and made a nest in the foam.
