Hey ErinThanks for your response!
As to plastic bowls, they'd be great in a pinch, while I whip up something else.
Full-time, I'm thinking they may not be heavy enough and would get pushed around, turned over etc. Her bark sits on a 12" slate floor tile under which is a UTH.
She routinely shifts her hide at least slightly off the tile. ( It's not terribly heavy either.) My plan so far is to use 1"X4" wood and create a 3.5"H box with a roof and two walls on the side with the front and back being open...nothing fancy...I'm more concerned with proper husbandry than esthetics. Maybe at some point I'll add bark to it for good climbing/basking traction. I'm led to believe that aspen lumber is available...it's just not available in my local lumber yard. I'll check with Home Depot etc and see about that. Once again, thanks for your advice...I'm always glad to hear it.
