Thanks.
I've never thought the rocks were a lot of work. Seems easier than gravel to me. I think the angle of the photo makes it look like there are more than is really there. There's only a little over a layers worth.
For those that have cork bark as the basking area. Is it easy for your RES to climb on to it? I also saw a pick where the cork bark end was slanted down, like a little ramp, can the cork bark be bent like that?
1 RES- ROCKY... my boyfriend found him on the streets of Jackson Heights, NY... he's my lil ninja turtle!
I think there's usually enough of a natural curve on the sides for them to climb up on.
I used a large piece that I layed across the top support of my tank.
Then I wedged a piece in the tank up next to it at an angle for a ramp.
He gets up there easily.

while im working on raphael and hulk's above tank basking area, i used some spare egg crate i had to block raphael from getting out....frustration. i come downstairs to see how they are doing and there raphael is, the little piece of mishief HALFWAY out of his tank and ready to make a run for it.
This is raphael doing it again, but didnt get far because i caught him in the act. har har har:
