How to make an island for turtles

You will need

• Stones
• Snag
• Plexiglass
• Ekstruzionnye polystyrene

Instruction

1. The simplest solution to the island for the turtles to pick up a few stones that need to fix the wall or on each other so that part of the stone towered over the water. You need to make sure the angle was small, to your pet it was easy to climb up.
2. You can also make the turtle landfall with driftwood. It needs to find a wide enough a snag, or strengthen special upstairs area of the plank (not plywood).
3. Also the Islands can be made from plates of Plexiglas, Styrofoam and other synthetic lightweight materials. However, this method is suitable only if your turtle is small. Since the large tortoises are very strong and can easily break fragile design. An island you can decorate the Java moss.
4. You can also cut the islets of extruded polystyrene foam, the surface to fill with foam, and while it is not frozen, cover with fine soil for decoration. To strengthen this island is best glue directly to the glass. Don't forget the easy slope.
