Habitat - Indoor :: new outside basking area - pictures

[painted patience]

I finished my new outside basking area for my two read eared sliders - Lady and Tramp a few weeks ago and am finally able to share some pictures with you all. They still hesitate getting all the way in and jump off the ramp in panic whe I walk in but seem to be getting used to it - they have no choice , there isn't any other place to rest on.
Before : on ramp that was too small:

and the new improved area:





I can give more directions if asked for.

That looks great! It looks like your two turts were about to capsize that dock, how funny.

How neat! It's really a very simple design - and effective. Very clever!

lol Looks like it was inspired by my basking area.

Lol that first picture is silly! It's sort of like they're fighting over it!

They look like best buddies in that first photo!

spookster, it was indeed inspired mostly by your site - Thank you for your many pictures ! I used plexiglass for the ramp with stick-on tread ( The kind used on cement stairs )instead of the wood. The art work is my own - copy from the internet.

Yeah my ramp is also now plexiglass. It used to be wood but that didn't work out very well.
