Sounds great, I know tank seems to enjoy that substrate quite a bit, and it is what he lived in at the pet store so I didn't stress him by switching. I think I'm going to start moistening it a little though, not to the point of making it sticky, but just so he can burrow better.

Yep it's always good to keep that kind of substrate a bit damp... not WET but just damp enough that it's not dusty!

I haven't quite got the carpet on the bridge yet, but tank loves going up and down, he did it on his own at least 5 time today! I'm sure I won't be able to contain him once I carpet it haha.

Nice table design. Did you seal the wood? If so with what? What type of wood is it? I love the ramp idea and with it you might not even need the log hide. My only suggestions would be higher sides, watch the corners they do like to climb there. Especially his loft (?) and is her loft attached to the walls. That might give it the stability your seeking. I do like it.

DOI! I'm tired and I read that as "Did you steal the wood" and I'm thinking... DUDE Is there something I don't know about you lot?!? ROFL!

Ya, I sealed it with some non-toxic wood glue

Looks good and fun.. It will keep Tank very busy and get the needed exercise. But as every one else says watch the sides, on the ramp and on the loft. My female russian Sveta will try to climb in her outdoor enclosure. She hooks her feet in the corners and starts climbing. Of course the sides are 3 feet so she can not get out. But looks good!!

Ya, we spend a while on the main portion, but the new one we just made out of scrap wood at the house. I plan to eventually make the 2nd once close to identicle to the first.

Do you think it is big enough for a 2nd russian? I would love to get tank a buddy.
