I just put on a new background for my tank, and I like how it turned out. As much as possible, I like to have an all-natural look for my tank. The PVC basking dock that I made is totally functional, but aesthetically not very pleasing. I'm really trying to come up with creative solutions to make it look better.
I would consider just buying one, but I haven't found any good ones online yet. I don't like the floating basking docks, and some of the other ones I was looking at look too small and/or flimsy.
So my three options are to create something from scratch, decorate my existing one to make it look better, or to buy one online. Any ideas?
Edit: Something like this would be cool, except that this one is WAY too tiny. Does anyone know if they make similar ones but larger? Preferably a good 12" tall.
Here's some options for you, there's many more but these'll get you started:
The tree in the back on the right is this All Living Things bonsai tree. The cave on the left is this thing, pushed down into the substrate.
I got it from a friend, but I found a link on Amazon!

Yeah, I'm using Aspen, I have a UTH coming in the mail, but I may invest in a light for day light heat/ambient temps, and just use it with the UTH for night heat, but I'm wondering if that's overkill. I'm known to spoil my critters a bit haha. I have two hides coming in the mail tomorrow, one warm/one cool. I don't have a sander/file so I'm worried that it may be too jagged if I cut a hole, perhaps a mason jar with wet paper towel in it would work well?
My hides are both kind of open, hence why I was thinking the rock one, my hides currently, one is:

(Though they will both be somewhat submerged in aspen, was going to give him a few inches of aspen to burrow in, so it's not like he's completely exposed, I just liked the look of these and they had good reviews and looked like they may help with shedding when it comes time, to rub on them. ) I got the large corner water dish by zoo med, so his humidity should go up then, which is good.
