This afternoon phase one of preparing a habitat started with the old 2ft fish tank getting a long over due clean. The old castle will make a good hide and I have some old black beach rock I want to set up as a basking rock under a ceramic heater. I have put some astro turf in as a substrate. A branch and water bowls will go in over the next little while in anticipation of a childrens/spotted/stimson yearling.
Two questions...
The black rock has some fragments that I want to join to make something more interesting for the little tike to squirm through. Do I use liquid nails, silicon or something else to bond it together into a type of arch?
I am also having trouble finding somewhere online to buy some small plants to add a bit of a scrub/jungle feel to the habitat. Where can I get them other than my local pet shop?
I will be going to the pet shop to get some tank background wall paper to put on three sides of the tank which will help insulate the enclosure in adition to being in my loungeroom wall unit. I'll whack up a photo when there is something more to show than what I have at the moment.
