    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 $4

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

    What a nice hiding spot! I like your thinking with using adjustable hides.

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

    That is not a good idea...it's an AMAZING idea. I will definitely be trying this out for my growing babies.
