    Hehe - yeah compare their prices (esp bulps and sphagnum moss) to what you'd pay retail. Makes me think I oughta quit working systems support and go open up shop.

    Judy and FoD, yep, i can just see a couple of very confused little cresties. :lol: I do have to make it rain for them twice a day, though, because they won't drink from a dish apparently. I was wondering if I could train them with a rodent-style water bottle.

    Smulkin, yes, the prices are definitely competitive. A critter-keeper thing that i was looking at at Petco the other day for $12.99 was $4+ less there. But by their prices the value of the freebies I got with my cresties was $20, so that makes me even more impressed with Reptile Depot too.

    Scott, FYI, all caps is considered to be yelling (which I'm sure you didn't mean) and is a bit harder to read. Nice background, tho. :) It looks pretty natural.

    sorry still learning
    No problem, Scott. I have sticky shift keys on this keyboard so sometimes I just skip the caps altogether. I think that's easier to read than all caps, tho. :)

    Isn't it hilarious how all caps is yelling? It really does feel like yelling I MEAN THIS WOULD MAKE ME UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER A WHILE - I forget to shift keys all the time i wouldn't even worry about it.

    On another note... I went to a different PetSmart to look at backgrounds and at first it seemed like eleven rolls of aquatic.. then i started picking them up and on the flip side were some cool scenes!! I ended up with one that is a closeup of a giant tree trunk going into big rocks it's very blue-grey which fits the decor of my apt. as well. I trimmed off the gravel at the bottom so it flows pretty seamlessly into my coconut substrate - so if you are looking for backgrounds i found a bunch at petsmart just remember to flip over the aquatic ones.. Also unfortunately i didn't see all the posts on this until today but thank you guys for the links... i found one i like better but too late now, i already measured, cut, and taped. Strantely it seemed to intrigue my new friend who has been climbing quite a bit on his sandblasted grape vine - he seems to feel a bit more secure with the background and it hides the wires very very nicely.

    Jonah, I think I saw that background one one of the sites I looked at today. I wish they'd link to bigger versions of the images, though. Glad you found one you're happy with. :)
