Hi folks,
I'm pretty new here; I've currently got my young (2-3 in) RES in a 20 gal long tank, and it's basking area is a floating dock.
This is a question for the future. When I upgrade to a bigger tank (or if I create some sort of DIY turtle topper while still using this tank), I was thinking about planting things in there.
I have a few small succulents that are fine, but probably don't get enough heat and sun. I was thinking it might be neat to put cactus soil and some succulents in / around the edges of a turtle topper / basking area.
Obviously I would leave my cacti out.
Any ideas about this? Is there any reason this might be a bad idea, other than maybe soil getting into the water?
Anyone have a similar setup?
I thought this might be fun and nice for both my turtle and my plants.
Of course, I suppose little Sedge might just destroy everything anyway. Maybe I could gate it off? haha
Thanks
M
