What to use when 'cover three sides ' advice is given??

[gizmo88]

i have been given the advice 'cover three sides' for my new pacman frog however,when i look on reptile specific uk online pet shops all they each have under decor have those poluystyrene '3d' rock or wood styled back ones and those pannel ones made of various woods n grasses.I was wondering other then using sheets of standard paper blue tact to the out sides which i have done for now, do backgrounds wih pattens on them as close as to typical pacman habitat as can be found exist? or is printing off google image photo on paper the only way this would be done?

Most pet stores sell a 2-D background with pictures of natural environments on them. They are also waterproof so can be used on the inside of the tank.

The only ones i did see were for aquariums with like a angled upwards shot from water level looking up at trees or a side on side of rocks as if it surrounded the pound/lake i'l hunt some down the normal white of paper should be ok tho for now??

Those aquarium backgrounds are the same thing people use for frog tanks. You just tape them to the outside of the glass. As long as you're only putting the cover on the outside of the glass where the frog can't come in contact with it then anything should work. Dark colored paper might be better than white just so it looks more like a sheltered area for your frog. For my quarantine tank I just taped dark brown felt to the outside of the glass.

Exactly! You can use anything that is not see through, dark paper, fish tank background, fabric, I've seen kids paintings being used too, you can paint from the outside or inside, if inside the tank it has to be frog safe paint. Whatever you use a frog couldn't care less. The idea is for him not to see the outside the tank, so he'll feel safer.
