Habitat - Indoor :: Need help with new Basking Platform

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Nope. I'm going to have a PVC leg in each corner and they're going to be about 9" to 10" up, then the egg crate, and then the tile on top of the egg crate. The egg crate will allow me to attach the existing ramp that I have. :)

Ah, OK. That makes a bit more sense.

I think it's just a lot of ideas passing through this thread and I forgot you had a ramp. I used several pieces of tile to weigh the PVC down and create "steps" up to a basking area, I must have thought you were doing the same thing.

Oh that's cool. I bet that looks pretty neat.

There have been a lot of ideas and that's good. I'm hoping to make the run back to Home Depot to return the other items. My Dad says he can get me some caps from work which are meant for airplanes so they might be a little more sturdy. ;)
