Thanks everyone! :D

shogun804,
It took about about 2 weeks to get everything like I liked it. Most of the time was spent placing the wood and carving the foam. Letting the foam and the silicone cure took alot of time too. It ended up being a couple hours of work a day and then alot time in between.

Thanks Chris, I tried to get one of her tonight but she found her hole too fast. I will snap one when she comes back out.

Well my girl just molted this week and finally decided to show at least part of herself. Not the best quality as I had to take it through the glass so she did not run back into her hide. As promised a picture of her in her tank.

mexican8s, thanks and correct. I don't see many people that recognize where the quote is from, so I am happy that you did. :D It is said through the whole series, words changed a little by each person but still the same meaning. Great book series.

I took another picture of the tank today, it has had a little time to grow in.

Looks great Mike!

I haven't gotten in to that sort of thing yet. Just basic
enclosures for now.

Thanks and I like you quote too. Most of my tanks are just basic too, this happens to be one of my favorite T's so I decided to show her off in a nice tank. Some species it is easier to have a basic tank, easier for me to find them when I am doing tank maintenance.

Thanks Aaron :D , that is the look I was hoping for.
Mike

I got another not so great pic, because everytime I open the glass she runs in the hide. Guess that is a good sign that she likes the tank.
Mike

Here she is after a new molt.
