    base of cages

    I used a pretty cheap product called Coroplast. I was able to make seams in the corners to funnel the water towards my plant, and I added some drainage holes. You can get it at craft, hardware, or office supply stores. Or here...

    Baby Panther - Home for less then 48 hours

    Boyfriend here, with more pics, because I know how much everyone enjoys pics. :D Having him start a shed the second day home caught us off gaurd. But we did the right thing by checking and re-checking our entire setup and contacting our vet. I've been lurking on these forums for the past 6...
