I am working on a "greatstuff box as well" Caulked and turfed.
http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/album.php?albumid=1227
I has a bit of a setback today as one of my sides became warped and i needed en extra branch to "pull it into place.

However my local supermarked had some great "silk" flower on sale
and they brighten the lot right up.

I used a U clamp/nail with a bit of caulk to keep them into place and a bit of turf to hide the nail

Change of Plans

Well I have a change of plans
its my first attempt but my fully removable backdrop has become semi permanent

Thanks to the humidity of the shed some of the board i put the greatstuff on got warped a bit. So I needed an extra piece of driftwood to pull my inset into place

As well I spotted some bigger gaps between the bottom glas plate and the inset.
Nothing he could escape through but big enough/small enough to be a pain in.

So I decided to caulk these gaps up
Now all and all the backdrop is removable but I do need a screwdriver to remove the unit
(And if the paper seal I use to keep caulk and glassplate separet does not properly work probably a pen knife).

All and all I am pleased with the general look of the thing
De back/sides are vacumable and waterproof behind their turf layer
The bottom is glass and washable. I have to Seal the cutout for the powerbit on my UTH (Under a glass plate, which of course when you need reflection does not give it for the photo)
