Hey man, I've been a long time fan of your thread and I'm horribly sorry about everything that has happened to you. I hope this all blows over soon and you can get back to a normal life again. Best wishes friend.

Sorry to hear of your loss. You have been an inspiration to many, including someone close to me. I personally know the feeling of having your passion stripped away in a forceful manner. So my thoughts are with you. I hope some how you find away to return to your hobby.

Hi everybody,

I got some big problems here, thats why I didn´t post any more pics in this thread.

As many of you know, here in Brazil is forbiden to keep Ts.
I don´t know exactly what happened but the Brazilian Federal Police came into my house and took ALL my pets away. They told me that the FBI ask them to do so :8o .

Thats a pitty because I was one of the few lonely knights here in Brazil and I really love my Ts but as the law is stupid and blind here, theres noyhing I can do.

I will be prosecuted by the brazilian government and I risk to pay something like us$20.000,00 as a penalty.

SO, FROM NOW ON I WILL GIVE SOME TIPS TO MY BRAZILIAN FRIENDS, HELP THEM TO KEEP THEIR ENCLOSURES, TAKE PICS AND POST THE PICS HERE, EVERY TIME ITS POSSIBLE.
Wow I hadn't seen this before...what a nightmare!:( I can't believe keeping T's in your country is illegal, that's absurd! Hmm but what reasons would they have to do such thing? Is this a recent thing...perhaps to protect the local species? And I can't stop wondering why is the FBI in the middle of this, aren't local authorities the ones responsible of investigating and enforcing their own laws, and not americans from the other side of the pond:? Why would this be another country's intelligence dept. problem or business? Very odd IMO.

I don't condone breaking the law in any circumstances, but I'm so sorry to hear this. I admired all your beautiful set ups very much, you had the best T natural habitats I had ever seen, and grabbed some ideas from you. Every unique enclosure was very well planned, and excellently executed:worship:

Move to another country, and start collectiong again. Your enclosures was fantastic , and probably some of the most natural I have ever seen!

I've seen that stuff somewhere. I am trying to find out exactly what it is... Some kind of weather stripping I am sure.

I would try the hardware store again, but this time either look in weather stripping for doors and windows or storage stuff (for some reason I think it is to go with wire storage racks).

I did a google search for weatherstripping and found lots of results. Good luck!

I found 2 kinds os these "runners":



- the first one (1), plastic made found in a store specialized in plastic materials.
The piece is 4m long so you must cut it.

- the second (2) is made in alluminiun I found in a hidraulic store.
The piece is 3m long


Obs: I prefer the plastic one because its bigger and easy to fit the lid inside it
