Re: Homemade Basking Platform With Ramp
Strong work. It looks great. I would have used something that could be easily cleaned, though. Those reptile carpets get nasty after a while, and they aren't the easiest to clean. Especially covering wood. Maybe you could replace the carpet with some kind of natural looking vinyl laminate or something that you would be able to wipe down with chlorahexadine solution.

We considered that, but we were worried about him not being able to get a grip going up and down the ramp?

Re: Homemade Basking Platform With Ramp
What about finishing it with the vinyl sheeting, then cutting thin, long strips of the vinyl and attaching them horizontally all the way up the ramp, spaced 1/2" apart for grip?

That's a good idea, that may be the way to go, thanks.

Re: Homemade Basking Platform With Ramp
This should provide a decent temporary fix. He spends at least 90% of his day basking, so we placed a piece of ceramic tile at the top of the basking ramp for easy cleaning.
