Mine prefers her Lizard hammock actaully. But when that is too close and too hot for her, she goes to the driftwood. Rock is the last thing i see her on. Just my experience.

Mine spends most of the time on the rocks in about 90 deg. and after she eats heads to the wood for 125 temp.

It is easier for bugs to hide in wood so be cautious of that. Stone holds heat better but is harder to climb on. Small BDs like to be vertical more than horizontal.

What does friend mean to you?
A word so wrongfully abused
Are you like me, confused
All included but you
Alone...
The sounds of silence often soothe
Shapes and colors shift with mood
Pupils widen and change their hue
Rapid brown avoid clear blue
Why’s it have to be this way?
Be this way
Flowers watched through wide brown eyes
A child sings an unclaimed tune
Innocence spins cold cocoon
Grow to see the pain too soon
