Driftwood Dragon | Aquarium, Vivarium and Terrarium Decor

Designed for a more engaging habitat. Add real structure for climbing, hiding, resting and exploration while transforming the look of the enclosure. Choose the size and finish that suits your setup, or contact Molten Modern for custom sizing where available.

An artful dragon figure that looks like weathered driftwood: organic, gnarled and very natural. Its body curves into a ring, almost like a portal, and seems to have grown from a single piece, like a living tree spirit from an enchanted forest.

It combines fantasy with a realistic wood structure, so it works as a highlight in a terrarium or aquarium and as a display piece on its own.

Details

• Rough, fibrous, root-like surface with many offshoots that look like branches or roots.
• A detailed head with small horns or branches and a slightly open mouth.
• Adds structure and climbing opportunities for reptiles and amphibians, depending on the animal's size.
• In an aquarium it makes an eye-catcher in the mid-ground of root or nature-style aquascapes and fantasy or themed tanks.
• Also a decorative piece for shelves, desks or display cabinets in a fantasy, nature or "Dark Forest" style, and a photography prop.

Where it works

Forest, jungle and moss terrariums, bearded dragon (depending on tank size), leopard gecko, crested gecko and anole enclosures, display tanks and designer terrariums, freshwater, nano, shrimp and betta tanks, vivariums and paludariums, reptile, amphibian and invertebrate enclosures, naturalistic builds, and tabletop gaming, D&D and wargaming scenery.

Colours

First choose a finish (Basic, Matte, Marble, Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic or Glow-in-the-Dark), then pick a colour from that finish. Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic includes our Galaxy, Sparkly and Metallic colours. There are 89 PETG colours in total, and the colour charts at the end of the photos show each one. Want something that is not listed? Contact us and we will try to source it.

Quality and care

Printed slowly at high resolution with thick walls, so it is sturdier than most printed decor. Fine layer lines and small variations are normal and make each piece unique. PETG is non-toxic and easy to clean with soap or alcohol. Colours can look slightly different on screen.

Good to know

• Anchoring in an aquarium: Bond the base to a flat stone or acrylic sheet with aquarium-safe silicone, or with hot glue or cyanoacrylate superglue specifically suitable for aquarium use. Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s surface preparation and full curing instructions before placing it in the aquarium. Where the design allows, a few small holes through the underside into enclosed air pockets let water in and air out, reducing buoyancy.

• Measure the inside of your enclosure before ordering, and leave a little room for installation.
• Some photos show hand-painted examples. This piece ships unpainted.
