I recently ended up adopting a 1.5y/o Bearded Dragon with MBD. I've gotten a lot of advice with handling it and helping to see if he can somewhat grow out of it still, but I needed some decor advice in the meantime because he's struggling with his enclosure. I've only had him for 2 days, so I haven't had a chance to really pick up anything else besides food and do a lot of research. I want him to be comfortable while I try to help him.
The person I got him from gave me all his previous supplies/decor/lights/tank/etc. He was previously on sand, but I have him on paper towels currently and have some slate tiles of my own that I've put in a couple in to see how he reacts to them, since she said he dislikes tile due to his MBD making him slide around on it. He's in a 40gal still but I'll be upsizing it as soon as I can afford it within the next few weeks.
What I wanted to know is, does anyone know of any very MBD-friendly decor, or have any DIY decor ideas?
I've attached a picture of how I set up his enclosure with the decor I was given, but he seems to have an extremely hard time climbing and sometimes falls almost backwards, so I want him to bask but I'm scared putting anything up too high.
I'm guessing it might be best to have some very gradual ramps up to his basking spot, maybe some sort of just basking shelf? I haven't seen anything like that online except for DIY stuff though, and I'm not entirely sure what to make DIY decor out of. I do have some spare reptile carpet to use for crafting.
I'd appreciate any tips or advice!
