Hi. We are new to turtle ownership and have been researching like crazy. We inherited Toby last week and are so far doing pretty good, but his basking platform sucks and he does not favor it at all. So, we decided to get him a better one. After searching the local pet stores and coming up short we are going to make him one. We've purchased the PVC pipe pieces and egg carton, zip ties, etc. and created the platforms like alot of th ones I've seen on this (and other RES sites).
There is one concern. The egg carton stuff holes are so big. Toby is about 2 and we are afraid his feet are gonna get stuck in there or he will break some claws. What can we use as a to attach as a covering material? It's a great size and stability for Toby, we just need something so he doesn't get hurt. I was thinking a reptile carpet type, but they are all absorbant so that won't work.
Suggestions??
Thanks!
