Bottom of Baby's Tank

mlucey03 Mar 04, 2005 07:20 PM

Hey everyone,
thank you so much for your info on how to get my alligator to eat - I am happy to say that he is eating a bundle now! Here is my next question - what do you have at the bottom of your tanks (not the big enclosures, but for when they are little) - do you have fish rocks or bigger rocks or nothing at all. I ask because I have fish rocks that smell a little and I am cleaning them with a vacuum thingy but I was wondering if anyone else had a better suggestion!
Thanks and happy herping!!!
Monica

The perfect solution....

Leave the bottom bare.
