I want to equip my bearded dragon and uro's enclosures with stacks, and I was thinking this summer, it would be really cool to try out this method I found on the internet and sort of make a natural looking stack. I'll put a link at the bottom for the kind of idea I'm thinking about using. The idea is basically build a nice stack (that has already been used to determine the temps are good), and then (maybe) put some thin pieces of polyurostene on it to make it more rock like and irregullar, and then coat it in the way described in the link. I was just sitting in my room looking back and forth at the lizard tanks (It would be much less strain on the neck if I had them both in one corner ), and I love the stack idea, and even though I haven't tried it yet, I think the reptiles will too. But I also like to make things look nice and have a natural feel, so I thought of this idea, and maybe I'll try it this summer. Except I'd probably specifically design them for the use. Like for the bearded dragon, I would probably design a corner one the would be almost like a part of the wall, and for the uro it would be more like a standard stack, but with one side flush against the wall.



Just another thing for me to think about it. There's an easy way to tell someone who truely loves his pets from someone who just likes the idea of the pet (the kids that get lizards simply because they think they are cool). The people that truely love their reptiles will sit around for a day thinking about how to improve upon their life. i can't wait to get Sam (the uro) cleared of parasites and what I believe to be a respiratory infection so I can start experimenting with his setup (going to try dirt out this summer...not sure if I could get more than a couple inches in his tank though).
