    Obi Wan the Nosy Be....

    My male nosy be got all excited last week when I let him stroll on top of the enclosures, so I grad the Canon Eos and started clicking. I just noticed I spelled his name wrong on the file name. One to many Crowns when I was modifying them. LOL!!!!!

    Mara Jade laid infertile eggs...

    How long until she could drop another batch of eggs? I am currently monitoring her weight again every monday. I'm going to leave her laying bin in there still for a few more weeks. She is eating and drinking. I wouldn't say though she's eating the amounts that she would 4 or 5 weeks ago...

    custom drainage system....

    Last week I purchased a DIY 18x18x36 for the few cooler months here in Tampa. I also bought from DIY the matching "substrate tray". I spent a couple hours wondering around Home Depot yesterday in "design mode" to figure out my drainage system. I had just about everything figured out already...

    Outdoor Enclosure: model 636 ver. 1

    Ok, I've been designing an outdoor enclosure in my head for months, doing my research, and then again re-designing it. I relocated a schefflera about 6 months ago, and have pruned it once since then with the intentions of covering it w/ a 6'x6'x3' custom enclosure. The thing that took me the...

    When is big to big for an enclosure????

    I'm getting all my ducks in a row prior to purchasing a new panther. I'm preparing for an outdoor enclosure using 1/4" PVC covered hardware cloth in a 36" width. Is 6' wide x 6' high x 3' deep to big for a juvenile, or even an adult panther? Can an enclosure get to big? I've got the...
