just a quick question. am having trouble with back grounds as they keep flaking, diesel loves her back drops but they keep flaking from the heat, is there anything i can do or a good back ground out there that will not flake from heat????
more so around the basking area, but its like wall paper once it starts it all starts to go, the temps are spot on an everything else is fine, shes happy and well but ive had to take the back drop out just in case she starts to eat the flakes
am thinking of buying a new back drop and getting some clear plastic sheeting to cover the back drop before putting it back in, (if you get me) but is there an easyer way or a heat prof back drop that you no of?

There really isnt anything I can think of. I would be leery of putting any plastic over that since it is obviously very close to the bulb. Is there a way you could just move the bulb? Can you post a few pics of the viv?
Aside from just not using a backround I am not sure it there is anything to help. Those backrounds weren't really designed to be used the way you are using it.
I have been using aquarium background, which comes laminated, ive been using the same sheet now for a year with no problems! Perhaps you could try that??
Oh wait you have been, just looked at the pictures, sorry, ive not had an issue with them, perhaps a bamboo background would be better, as previosly suggested
yeh i think i might try the hole hanging plants/vines etc am sure she will like it.
prob safer too, she wont be tempted to eat them. .... or will she lol
shes runing around now, i think she is wondering where her back drop has gone coz she is trying to head butt the white wood back ground.
bless her.
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
