Finally finished decorating tank!

So after a few days of following Germ's advice, & many trips to lowe's.. I got the lighting, heat, & substrate just right & was able to move on to the fun stuff, decorating for our lil guy! I would love to eventually build him a custom encloser with rock walls like some of the cool ones I've seen on here, but for now he's got a bachelor pad. So I tried to put myself in his scales & ask myself if I were him, how would I want to decorate?
This is what I came up with..
I found these real nice flat stones & was able to stack them so he has a little hide in the front corner under the ramp & rocks.. they don't wobble at all, so no glue/foam necessary.. all I need now is some type of backing.. going to find something to put on the outside so he stops fussing at his reflection.
On a side note.. my daughter & I were to pick out 3 names & we agreed to decide from there.. I liked Tyson, Conan (as in The Barbarian! Not O'brian), & Samson.. She picked 2.. watermelon cupcake & Iggy.. so I explained that he's a boy & all the other dragons would make fun of him if his name was watermelon cupcake.. so she explained that I would be buying her a girl dragon soon who she will name watermelon cupcake AND that Iggy is our lil boy dragons name..
Guess who got their way? I had no chance lol.. Iggy it is

Nice set up and it would appear that your lil dragon approves of his new stones too...that would be his way of sayin "You done good!"
Thanks for sharing

I love the ramp idea. How did you do that.

I found that ramp at petsmart.. its made by zilla, I've seen it around at other places.. pretty common. But the stones! I found these really nice flat stones at a reptile shop by me. They are heavy & stack nicely on each other so they don't wobble & I'm not worried about them falling on iggy when he gains some weight. I was able to stack them so they meet the ramp at the same level, so iggy has a nice long, flat perch to enjoy. Also I was able to stack them so they form a little cave/hide by the glass under the platform. I just wanted to stack a few rocks to meet the ramp so he can access from 2 sides.. but it worked out better than I planned and the rocks match the tile! I actually went through a few different rock ideas for that spot, & I ran all over the place looking for just the right stones.. but it was so worth it & felt so good to see Iggy climb up & enjoy his new spot. At lights out, the past few nights he climbs up on his spot & waits for our bedtime routine! He had never done that before.. I'm really enjoying having him around.
