Anyone know where you can obtain cheap rocks for landscaping inside a vivarium? It just seems rediculous to buy a rock at the pet store for 8+ dollars. There has to be some place you can buy fist size rocks inexpensively. Alternatively I was thinking about collecting them from a park (or I've seen plenty used in landscaping around office buildings) but I'm not comfortable with just taking them, nor would I feel safe using them if someone sprayed fertilizers/pesticides nearby.

For the big fist-sized river rocks i just borrowed some from a nearby office building. To clean them of contaniments i boiled them.

landscaping places usually have an excellent selection of rocks, and
usually if you only want four or five rocks they will probably just give them to you, bc they sell by the yard(usually, not always) and it would be impossible to ring up, of course if your looking for pretty, more expensive rock that is sold individually the price goes up accordingly...

It will also mess with the pH if in touch with water area.

Or if water runs on it, and into the soil.
