Earlier I noticed tiamat trying to climb up the artificial leaves and realized she could probably use a new toy. So I went into the yard and broke off a maple shoot. I then stripped the green bark and inner bark with a knife, before rinsing off and drying the core. I broke it in half and arranged a small canopy topped with leaves in the center. I'm hoping she will have fun climbing on it. and perhaps she'll spend less time hiding under the substrait with the extra cover it provides.

I'd also like to make some fake rocks and a better water dish for her. I've heard that they can be made from a mixture of flour, salt, oil and water, and then backed and spray painted. But I don't have an exact recipe. Do any of you have any suggestions? I'd like something I could mold with my hands, then bake solid.
