print a background, a good photograph with a foreground shot would be nice. fake plants also.
a terracota hide or the half log hide would be great too.

check out what the others did, photo gallery section.

It looks good, I say add some foilage in there for sure. Maybe a nice rock to bask on.

Well.. whatever you do to spruce the place up, I'm sure your skink will trash the place in record time :wink:

Lucio Fulci, YES! I heard people were furious with the quality of the release of that DVD.

My suggestion would definitely be some background wallpaper. As well as a bigger water source.

+ 2.2 Irian Jaya (Slurpy, Nona, Sassy, Cool Moe Dee)
+ 1.1 Eastern (Eugene, Enzo)
+ 1.2 Northern (Niko, Pearl, Peach)
+ 1.0 Tanimbar Island (TQ)

I knew the Horror Nerd Zach would like the movie poster. :cool:

Zach, I have a huge water source for Rollie and he never lays in it. I'm thinking about doing something different for water, honestly. The only thing I can see for the water bowl in the picture above is it tipping the water out when the skink (inevitably) tries to go underneath it.

Didn't you see the title of this post: Extreme Home Makeover?

Obviously the glass walls of the tank need smashed, with the largest piece of construction equipment you can find.

Rebuild them with original Tiffany leaded glass - several stories high.

Install a purified water dripping stone fountain wall for drinking pleasure.

Fly in original South America deforested rainforest teak wood for that "authentic" look.

Don't forget the ozone air purifier with hospital specs HEPA filtration.

:edward:

I misread the title... :doh: go back to your cheapo home makeover.
