Cool and creative hides!

I'm looking for interesting ideas for axie hides. Not the usual stuff like PVC pipes and tupperwares with rocks glued to them. But really awesome, new ideas.

Share them. Share them for the love of lotls

I built a fake rock back wall out of styrofoam. I put some caves and archways in it my axolotls love it. I could post a picture if you want. maybe it will help spark your imagination. I built a place to put a plant with a cave behind it and they love that area to hide in and to snuggle and sleep

Halfed plant pots, rock formations, baskets, PVC pipe buried in the substrate

I know I would love to see pics. I was about to ask about using a Styrofoam background and see if it was safe. xD

Build an Aztec temple out of non-toxic materials and let him be the god of your mini aquatic Aztec city

Build a miniature replica of a theme park with working rides! Hahaha
But on the serious side they love floating cork bark! They just float underneath it and it gives them a bit of shade!

Morrison · Sep 3, 2013

Cool, I still have some.

And I like those temples. I actually have a tank ornament like that. Sadly there's no hole in it.

what is floating cork bark?

I don't have a camera at the moment, it is the next thing on my list to buy, I am slowly getting every thing back, I lost everything I owned in the big tornado we had here in Cordova Alabama on 04/27/2011. I have almost got everything but nothing will ever be the same.
I promise everyone I will post lots of photos ASAP of my little Aztec.

Mama Mia · Sep 3, 2013

HI
Here are a couple of photos of the caves and hides that I was telling you about in my earlier post, I just figured out how to add them, nd she will do custom ones how ever you would like.

Morrison · Sep 6, 2013

Does anyone have an awesome DIY idea? I'm in a hypercreative mood.

SariYappa · Sep 7, 2013

Dolores, what is your temple made of? Can you drill a hole in it, and mount it to some foam, and expand on the theme? PROJECT!

Mia, those hides look great... Mind if I ask what type of material they are made of?
And I'm really sorry to hear you are one of the unfortunate ones in the Tornado's path, it must have been devastating

You can always make whatever you want, as long as the materials are safe.

Like this: Aquarium Decoration Tutorial: How To Make a Custom "Live" Rock with Aquarium-Safe Plastic - YouTube
Instead of just a rock, you could always make a ruin, an old temple, whatever you like.

There's tons of videos on youtube of people making their own decorations, and explaining what materials they used and how they put it together.

@SariYappa, I don't mind telling you these are made of clay, I got these from a lady in the UK she will make custom orders all you have to do is shoot her an e-mail and easy pezy
If you would like more info for her PM me I don't know if we are allowed to give out info like that on here.

And yes the tornado was horrid, never had I seen anything like it, there were 2 that hit our town almost exactly 12 hours apart, the 2nd one got my home and those around me. We found money from the bank 4 miles away on the rail road tracks, some of mine and a few of the people that lived close by our papers and some photos were found over 150 miles away.
Thanks for your thoughts,

Mia
