I've never posted pics of any of my tanks. I don't see many people with the standard 40g breeder though, so I thought I'd post mine. XD I straightened Ridley's cage out this morning though while he was napping under the couch ( :roll: ) so now is as good a time as any.
Just a regular 40g breeder that I picked up off Craigslist for $20 near the beginning of the year. Flooring is natural slate, basking spot is part of a hardwood tree root propped up on a small plastic rock thing. Decorations are aquarium plants that we bought in multiple colors and tied together. We didn't want to go "full desert" for decorations as he'd blend in too much...so we have kind of an arid oasis thing happening. Except for the pink flowers in the right corner -- those are my boyfriend's idea. :lol:
Lights are hung over the top of the tank with outdoor hanging basket hooks. Large dome is a MVB and small dome is just a house light for heat. Also there is no lid on the tank. Ridley likes to look out at us! Ever since we put him in a tank with no lid, his interaction with people has been off the chart! He really likes watching us as we look in on him now, where as before he pretty much ignored things over him. lol Also, he gets lots of petting as we go in and out of the office. Here we go!
Tank front. MVB was off, so it looks a little dark.
Basking wood and vines. TBH, the floor is really the basking spot, as it gets a bit hotter and is directly under the MVB. He just likes to sit up on the wood to watch the world.
Better shot of the weird little corner. When he wants to nap during the day, he crams himself into this corner and puts his head under the leaves. I wonder if he thinks we can't see him?
Cool side with morning salad. The slate pieces here are smaller as this is the place he likes to throw things and dig. He rearranges the tiles about 2-3 times a week over here. Also included is random crap on the floor from cleaning the tank, and of course the pink flowers. *facepalm*
Tank occupant. Very Not Happy that it is morning and that he was hauled out from under his dark and cold den under the couch. Lots of grump face and side eye.
Turning around to warm the other side and looking *slightly* less miserable.
And that's it! The lighting isn't as yellowy as it looks irl, but I was taking them through the glass.
