I know Petsmart sells some stuff. I don't really have anything close by to me, so I end up ordering most of my stuff online.
Avatars are like shoes to me. Even though I can only wear one pair at a time, I always have a closet full!

All the bigger stores (petsmart, superpet, etc) always have a good reptile section. And you can always order online.

My opinion if you're in a country not as populated or commercial as the US, Japan, Canada, etc, is to make your own stuff for your bluey. Heck, I encourage that if you're IN one of the above countries. Anything shipped will end up being expensive for what you're paying for.

Find someone that has some tools, or if you yourself have some, and describe what you'd like. Find a nice piece of clean wood. Flat rocks can be free if you look in the right place. I'm sure fake plants are available anywhere, too...

Just a thought, hope that helps a little.

petsmart had a lot of log hides and other lizard decorations, at least the one near me did. Petsupermarket had some, but a lot less selection.

You know, as generally true as this is, I'd have to say a major exception would be PetCetera. Do you guys even have PetCetera around you? They have a reptile sign for reptile supplies but only had about 10 lights and 3 kinds of tiny plastic water bowls -.-' None of the prices were even labeled.

To get good supplies, look into finding non-conventional uses for some easy-to find stuff. Dollar Store fake plants near me seem to work well to pretty up the tank. Just look around. You'd be suprised at what you can find.

thanks a bunch guys.. i figured out since its not available here i might make one myself.. DIY stuff hehehe..
im thinking to use a crack pot as a hide, im gonna glue some sphagnum moss over it to look like it more natural
plus PVC piper for hides also
the water and food dish no problem i can but the low ceramic ones in the supermarket.
