hello, sorry i didnt respond untill now. the outdoor carpeting im refering to is kind of like a cheap door-mat. the ones i found measured almost 2' x 3' so it was perfect for his 40gallon. they do make them bigger, just try to find a rug without "loops" in the fabric. i dont know how else to explain it except very short pile carpet that their nails cant get stuck in. it should have a rubber bottom, not a fabric like normal carpet.
if your refering to the "bed" i made for Mayze's cage then here are some more pics:
the wood part isnt something i built; 8 beers came in it as a christmas gift :lol: ... ive been keeping nintendo cartridges in it for a couple years, i came across it while scavenging for things i could add to their tank. i screwed and tied on a plush piece of material in a loose way so it sags like a hammock. lately Mayze enjoys sleeping in late under the bed, i think she is going into brumation...
you could probably find something equally inovative; just look around in the garage or in your room, you just might find something you can use.
hope this helps alittle :wink: .
*EDIT* i just realized all the new pics of their bed are still on my phone. these pics were from the first night i let them play around on it. after a couple hours of supervised exploration i took the bed out. to make it more perminant and safe
i changed out the thumbtacks for ties and screws.
