    Default Best Vivarium Decorations... Fossils!

    I am a huge dinosaur buff, so when I found these fossils, I had to put them in my toad vivarium. I hid two in the dirt, but right up on the glass so you can see them: Name:  PIC_0420.jpg

    Wish I had thought of that when I lived in Texas. Very cool. Is that deer rib bone actually fossilized?

    Its not fossilized, fossilization takes forever . It was sticking up from the ground when I found it.

    Maybe you'll get lucky and find a deer skull eventually. Not sure it would fit in there though.
