Desert Plantation

[CHEWY]

A massive thanks to Hugsta for my first amyae.
It makes a great night light in my son's room.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good decorations for this tank. The hide is currently just a box, but I'd like to make a display tank that is as aesthetic and natural as possible. I've been searching for (and would ultimately like) fake spinifex but have come up empty handed so far.
Lately I've been thinking of making decos from real, dead crispy grass held in a mould of plaster or resin.

Any tips, help or directions to places that could help are appreciated.

Universal Rocks (in Punchbowl) has some good small rocks that you could cut holes in to make hides and you could always just try sun-dried local native grass (and replace it when needed).

BTW, nice little Amyae!

great amyae! I plan on getting one when I get back! Some of the fake plastic plants look cheap on the shelves but look good once in the enclosure. I've use silk fake greenery from a fake florist before too which looks a bit more real.

Universal Rocks are gone.They are in the process of moving it all over to the states,Texas I think.

As an aside I notice you have a heap of sand in the tank.Given that they aren't great diggers you could get away with a lot less if you wanted.

The crickets like to relax where it is warm during the day.
They go exploring at night. They like exploring gecko guts.

For the fake plants, there is a place called greenery imports, Greenery Imports -Australian Importer Artificial Plants,trees,flowers,grasses,greenery design., which have a huge range of plants, I'm sure you'll find something there.
