Ive been inspired by the guy on TRP (trex waterfall, predator basking spot etc) to make some interesting centrepieces for my 2 corns new vivs (arriving sometime next week)...

any ideas for something interesting that could double as a hide or something to climb?

ive got 2 new 3ft vivs to fill.. so all ideas welcome!

Looking for something contrasting as ive got an anery and a RO. so something that would look AWESOME with them draped all over it!

cheers in advance :p

If you can get to a home bargains or similar discount shop, they often sell large ornaments that are dirt cheap. They had some large buddas in once that I was tempted by and some large black contempory figure ornaments
