Frank's Thread

So I decided to just have one thread to add my pictures to to share with the community instead of trying to juggle multiple threads which are basically just a bunch of photos. It will just be a random collection of my various animals and enclosures. :)

Start things off with some fresh pics from this morning.

The female Furcifer campani get all the attention but I thought my male was looking really striking this morning. The pictures don't show it well but his eye turrets are actually purple. He's also not shy at all while the female is fairly reclusive.



I also got a good series of feeding pictures of my female Kinyongia matschiei.















 
Hexagonal terrarium

Picked up this ~40 gallon hex aquarium and stand for something like $20. The centerpiece is fake rock made of styro and concrete. It currently houses a female Abronia graminea.







 
125 gallon in-wall paludarium

I built this room and in-wall tank when I bought my house. It was a reef tank for a few years but now it's a rain forest paludarium. Right now it houses a trio of crested geckos and a pair of giant day geckos as well a a ton of fish.











 
Lizard room

I recently redid my "lizard room" with an eight-cage all in one system. You can also see my coffee table tank I build for my 20 year old blue-tongue skink.







 
Good stuff Frank!
The twigs or sticks you have in the male campanis enclosure. What kind are they? I love the look of them!
 
Fantastic pictures and set up's. Had to post and save for future use as I will steal some of your ideas for my own use. :D
 
Everything looks great Frank. I had no idea you kept Abronia in addition to chameleons :) They look beautiful.

Thanks. I love abronia almost as much as chameleons. I raised three from tiny neonates. They are finally getting to adult size. They have the same needs and behavior of montane chameleons.
 
Your tanks are part science, part art! Very impressive setups and they really look great as part of your overall decor. Well done, you have a talent (and obvious work ethic)!

Thanks! As a science teacher I really appreciate that! Before that I was a herpetology zookeeper so creating the exhibits has always been a big part of keeping the animals for me.
