Im thinking about going and buying some, but I feel rather bemused at the thought of paying a lot of money for some stone; if you did buy it, was it expensive? Alternatively though Im not really sure where to get it, considering its a lengthy drive to any large bodies of water etc...any ideas? _________________ www.freewebs.com/johelian www.freewebs.com/joslittleworld --------------------------------- 1.0.0 Argentine Tegu T.merianae 3.4.0 Monkey Tailed Skink C.zebrata 1.0.0 Crawl Cay Boa B.c.imperator 0.1.0 Royal Python P.regius Back to top Shrew Member Joined: Dec 18, 2006 Posts: 63 Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2007 3:44 pm    Post subject: i bought mine rocks at a garden center...the were a nice £1 each! i was loving it lol....but alternativly you can get rocks at a resovior (sp?) that way you know there is alot about and your not taking things from a beach....hope that helped _________________ We Are Here For A Fun Time, Not A Long Time...
