Basking platform ideas needed

PoohBear03031 Nov 15, 2005 02:15 PM

I currently have a homemade platform in Tequilas tank, but I really don't like it. She is too big for all the premade wood I have seen, and the premade platforms aren't high enough. I am stumped, please help. Pics would be great.

Well rocks, bricks can work, I have grapevine in my tank and it works fine. Driftwood is nice too but all wood needs to be bleached every so often

How high do you want to go? how big is the enclosure?

I have seen ones made out of 2x4s and just sealed real well.
