Experienced Desert builders needed

Hey everybody...

I would like to build a underground borrow system for my Leopard Geckos that takes up the bottom of the enclosure. I have ideas on how I want to do it, but looking for some suggestions. Maybe fake rock? The tank will only be used for Leopard Geckos so anything permanent will be ok. Just let me know. Thanks

what seems to work pretty good is useing foam blocks. u can buy them super cheap and can carve passages out of them fairly easily. i use them for makeing burrows for T's and things like that. the best part is u dont have to worry about caveins as its solid. just find a chunk. carve it out and cover with your choice of substrate.

If we are talking about actual burrows, PCV piping and fittings would be my idea. Plus you can take it apart if you ever need to clean it and/or needing to get to your animal. Plus it will hold up to any debris in the enclosure. Dont use the glue or any of the other chemicals of course. You could hide the entrance with rock/stone or foliage.
