More specific: I'm looking for something that's not just decoration (naturalist like you said), but also something utility. My thoughts were to make something that I can take in and out (possibly in 2-3 pieces, such as left and right corner that spans toward the middle, for cleaning purposes) that would serve as at least one of her hides. I wanted something flexible to suit what type of enclosure I can easiest provide her given my life circumstances, so I'd like to include spots for plants (such as holes in the background that fit small plant pots). I will be using overhead heating as well as a heat mat at the side of her warm side hide, so I don't want it to span TOO high to make it easy for her to reach (the overhead heating will be fully caged off, but just in case lol). She a little explorer that loves to climb and burrow on occasion, so I want to provide her something more interesting to be in
Cork bark is a great idea! I have thought about that, but wasn't sure if I should pair it with something for a better structure. How do you usually attach the pieces together? (Not to the back of the enclosure) Do you reccomend any other materials to go with it? Also for cleaning, do you prefer to wash, steam, bake, etc... the wood?
