Tank re-do already (pictures) - cleaning fake plants ??

[bluedog]

I redid the tank already LOL. Found a great reptile supply store and spent too much on a faux rock bridge and a nifty ledge that attaches magnetically. My son and I are going to find a picture background we like and print it out on photo paper.

He's moving all over the place (I hope that means he likes it - he seems content), the tank has less stuff in it and you can see him much better, even when he hides. I will put his tupperware humid hide back in, behind the plants (worms and calcium hidden back there too). Any thoughts on the best way to clean the leaves of the fake plants? His has lots of poop on the leaves.

The bridge is over the hotspot, great place to hang out. He has climbed up a few times to the ledge.

Tank looks great Christine!
I could've made you a ledge & bridge for probably cheaper then what you paid at the store.
I'm not going to comment about the sand, it is your choice, but others will.
Amazing job!

Where are you in Oregon, if I may ask. I was looking at the ledge and had the same thought, but the time it would take me I could bill one of my clients (graphic design) for about 5x as much LOL. We are switching to slate in the near future, I am new and didn't know sand was bad... I would eventually like to do a whole backdrop with ledges - that would probably be worth my time and my son could help me.

I'll send you a private message with my location.
