thanks for the input and compliments!
I am gonna try some more, and then some more, and then some more....I'll get this right someday hahah.
but honestly I thought this may work. It has 20" of packed substrate...I took natural forest mulch and cypress mulch and ran it through my vac shredder two times, mixed it really good with a little sand and soil and packed it down in the trough. My neighbors got a kick out of me dumping 12 bags of mulch on the driveway and running over it back and forth with the shredder. They are used to me hollowing out logs with an axe, etc for my toucan but they still just stare.
Anyway all of them are often 12" or more down in the substrate. Actually they are everywhere in there all day, deep in the substrate, up on the flora, in the water, over under this light, then that light, back to dig, etc. It has really been entertaining to watch. Everytime I come back to look something has been moved or toppled over. Hmmm maybe I will take apart the top and add another 9" or so to give more climbing options.
Thanks again, I love to hear it...my goal was to provide what they need first and a display second. Seems I got that backwards, common newbie mistake I am sure.
Tom
