Just sharing a good idea...

Because my baby ball is still little and I know they like the security of smaller tanks, I am currently using a 20 gallon for her. I purchased a half log as a hide but she never used it. I realized it was too wide for her and she wasn't able to get right inside it. Dive I was sorry on space in the tank and knew I needed 2 identical hides, a water bowl and a climbing log, I had to think of a solution. So, I went to home depot and bought 5 paving bricks. I cut 1 in half. I then created 2 C shaped structures on each side of her tank. I also purchased a piece of slate from home depot. I put the slate on top of 1 structure and get water bowl on top of the other. Let me tell you, she loves them! And as she grows, I can remove the cut brick and use a larger on to increase the inside on the hide. The pictures will help you understand what I mean. Btw, this cost me $4http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/16/de4u7ate.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/16/e5asa3ev.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/16/6edytyny.jpg

And, the bricks really help to hold in the heat. Since they are right over the UTH, they are nice and warm.

Sweet! Great idea. Good use of space by using the water bowl as one of the tops. Nice..

Hey that's a great idea. I will have to try that myself.

Nice.
I always say Home Depot and Lowes are the best reptile stores here in San Antonio.
