There are 3 little guys/gals :p.

They are about 6 cm from head to tail.(about 2.5 inches).

I`m glad you like it.
Why don`t you post a pic of your setup?
Cheers!

Thanks :)

It seems that they enjoy it too.
On another one they used to try and climb it all the time.
This one just makes them happy :)


@Jer - Oh, come on, just give it a shot :p

Very nice set up. Dont forget that they will need a UVB/UVA bulb over their basking area :)

Right, for proper absorption of calcium

The only other thing I can think to mention is that youll probably find the wood gets nasty quite quickly as it starts to absorb all the pop etc from the water. Also, its easier to keep the tank clean when there is nothing on the bottom. But that is up to you.

Mhm, I hear that!
The wood has been removed from the tank as it got the water waaaaaay too messy :D .

After it`s properly cleaned it will prolly end up with a snake in it`s enclosure.
Now I`m just wondering where am I going to get a microwave that big :D.
