120g

okay so im getitng Tiki a 120g tank(or something near that size) and i want to make it look nice. any tips?

If tiki is old enough to use sand. I think that repticarpet looks horrible. And i suggest to put it on a stand. you could paint over somthing or make a custom stand and stain it with a nice color. It could look real sharp. 8)

no sand its like a gigantic petri dish that can get them impacted use tile like slate it looks nice and keeps nails trimmed :wink:

I though adults don't get impacted only babies.

Any beardie can get impacted. Ive heard of plenty of adults eating their sand and dieing. Even if they don't get impacted, they can still get eye and respiratory infections from breathing in all the dust and getting it in their eye. My first baby had an eye abscess when I adopted him from previously being housed on loose substrate.

As for the 120gal viv... Wow, your little one will be spoiled! If you don't already have one, definitely get a hammock. You could make some neat fake rock decorations too!

Another thing with the slate or tile is it is easier to clean up. Also can be cheaper in the long run since you would need to replace the sand (however often it is). Just though I would throw that in for ya

you just need to seal it or it will absorb liquids. iv had sealed tile for awhile now and mine love how warm it gets and i love how easy it is to clean

also marine carpet is good. have a couple of spare bits and when you clean out the tank just take the whole piece out and put a fresh bit in. they can be cleaned with the high pressure hose at ur local car wash and left outside to dry. simple as eating ur dinner. thats what im getting for yoda!

simple as eating ur dinner.

If you ever saw my human kid eat you wouldn't say that. How about ... It's as simple as catching a Hornworm that's placed right in front of you!

humm my brother is 6 and he's a pretty good eater so how about we compromise and say as easy as sitting in a chair

 

[TASTIGER]

but what if the chairs broken

 

[triumphtt]

I have a feeling MasterYoda is going to win this one not...

That fake rock look is amazin...but I rather keep a tank with bright white insides so it's brighter and shows the dragons colors more...I had a yellow/orange dragon and when I put her in the glass tank (breeder had her in a bright white tank) the colors faded to golden brown...plus when your not home I would want the tank bright as possible because your turning your house lights off...
