A good day to you all,

Well, it has been a while since i last posted an update on my enclosure. See here, a new update :D
Maybe you still know it, i had this plan for a basking branch a while back. Just a couple of sticks, put together with some rope. First i put some tape around the rope, cause it was most likely the nails of the bearded dragon would get caught between the rope. But then i learned here at ssnakess, that tape isnt the best thing, so i put silicone around the rope instead. And yes, on the pic there is still tape around it

But i wasnt to pleased with the branch, so when i was walkin in the store today to buy some crickets, i saw this baby

What am i going to do with that? Well, im gonna cut it in half, lengthwise. Not all the way, cause since its hollow, im gonna keep the bottom intact, so its something like a hide. It will be a ramp that will be placed from the floor till the walking path above the fossil (i hope you can imagine how im gonna make it, but i just cant put it in other words).
Sooooo, i was wondering what you people think of this idea. You think its gonna work? Im pretty sure that its better then the shabby branch thing :D

Oh, and here is the latest pic i took of my almost finished enclosure. And im ashamed to say that i have been workin on it for like 1 year and 2 months. :rolleyes:
Anyways enjoy and thanks for any input

Thta's a sweet looking enclosure! I think the bark will work out nicely, I still liked the look of the branches too though. Don't worry too much about the time, with all the bumps on the road to finishing my enclosures, it took more than 6 months! :o
