Hope you find something nice.

but photo for their ad not great quality. that piece of wood doesn't look very big. Looks like bog wood that has been smoothed off on top end. You can normal get small pieces like that from most good aquarium/tropical fish stores for around the same price. i think they normal work it by weight for the smaller pieces.

get in contact with a local tree surgeon, ask if they can grab you some nice bits of wood, or just go looking for yourself when you walk the dogs ;)

went over to CKJ pets this morning to get some small mice for Nia...and there is a garden center there to, i was looking at some nice chunks of sandstone rock and thought they would be mega bucks..

nope..

they were only £2.50 each, so i got two as i could not carry any more than that.

Was well chuffed..

Echo's viv will be here tomorrow, so that should finish it off nice..

just need some bendy vines..and we are away;-)
