Updates on my critters ...

Well here he is, after his first moult in my care ... my male LP "Diablo"

Good old faithful, "Lucy" my first T

My pulchra "Shaun" coming for a drink of water

"Teddy" the albipilosum

Here's my newest addition "Tristan" the chevron's new tunnel home ...

I managed to get a (BAD) pic of him coming out to grab a cricket before he bolted back down into the tunnel - he is super fast, actually caught this pic
by accident. Good to know he's settled down and eating !!

Hello dangergirl can you please post some videos on how you make your enclosure. I want to see your style of making them because yours look so perfect. I'm still a noob when it comes to making some, but i want to gain more exp by watching experts like you doing them

Making my new enclosures

Some members asked me to show how I make some of my enclosures ... so here's a start on one row of desert-type enclosures ...

I have these acrylic/perspex box backs pre-bent then I assemble them myself - a lip to keep the soil in, hinges and a lock/hasp. I made my tops open upwards. They are 4mm clear acrylic.

So I lined up a row of 5 boxes and used one length of aquarium backing to create a uniform background line ... Added some pebbles for drainage at the front (where the water bowl will be) and peat.

Add more peat and rocks and plants (real and fake) and create "step ups" and layers with natural slate ...

So here are two enclosures which will go side by side for my smithi's ...

And here's my rosea tank ...

And Lucy in her new home ...

Arboreal tanks

Same kind of box as above but these are 20cmX20cmX45cm in 4mm acrylic perspex. One is a home for Tristan (cambridgeii) and the other will house my next arboreal (P.regalis ?)

WOW those tanks are imcredible. You put every aboreal setup ive seen to shame.

 

[Terry D]
