BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Someone was asking about this and I said I would post pictures. Well, I should have documented from the very start of the project, but here's the finished product:

I cut a 2X4 into 2 roughly 11 inch sections (I didn't measure until after I finished haha), and 1 6 inch section. Then screwed them together to form a U shape. After that I cut two triangles out of 2X4 to form a base for ramp. I screwed those into the U shaped base, and then cut out a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to fit as the ramp. This worked better than planned because the 3/4in. board made a lip at the top that fit the tile in nice and snug. For support, I cut two more triangles from 2X4, and screwed them into the inside corners of the U base. Finally, to reduce the risk of harming my blueys with splinters, etc. and to make it more aesthetically pleasing, I stapled on some green felt material. This also helps them grip the ramp while going to bask. Also, notice the tile hangs off of the non-ramp edge a bit.. they love to hide under this section just as much as they like it under the main section. Here are some pictures:

Very cool! Thanks for the pic's!

Thanks so much for sharing this idea!!

great job.... that'll do the trick.

Can you remove the felt for cleaning if they poo on it?

I suppose I could if I had to, I would just have to staple it down again. I guess Velcro would be a good option instead of staples. Maybe I will do that for the next one.

Oh great idea!
thanks for sharing.

Very cool, Russ....
