Hi guys,

I wanted to make this thread to see if anyone is interested in my making their pygmy enclosures. I have already sold one to a member(dodolah) on this forum and he seemed to be excited about his new enclosure.

I will use a 10gallon aquarium with hydrotron/screen mesh/activated carbon/screen mesh/organic potting soil & peat moss. Topped off dried almond leaves, twigs/branches and java moss(all baked at 250 degrees for 30 minutes to make sure all bacteria is killed off). I will use any plants that you would like.

10 gallons will start at $150 per enclosure. I can make it different sizes if need be. Local pick up only(socal)! Im afraid shipping will be expensive cause this things get heavy and its pretty fragile.

Here are some pictures as well as a thread I created that marked the progression of the tank.

The pygmies were very happy in their enclosure. I know it was wrong but I also kept a baby panther ambilobe in there. She was happy and loved her enclosure as well.

Edit: If you guys like the manzanita wood, its going to cost extra cause I'll have to special order it. We'll go through all of this when designing the enclosure. I going to pick up some certified organic apricot,plum, peach and nectarine branches this weekend.
 
This is a 30gallon I have. My light broke so you cant really see the whole enclosure.

Those are really nice!! :D You could make me one if I had any pygmys!!

Wait..... hhhmmm. My U. Phantasticus and U. Ebenaui would love it!! I'll have to get back to you on this.... (....these damn people and their cool stuff. I just keep spending $$......) (wait, was that out loud?)
 
LOL let me know!

I already bought some of the materials to make another one. So I should have one more made in the next week or so. Im also looking to pick up more manzanita wood for the hardscape.
 
Frans told me he built his own enclosure. LOL jk :D


Really nice work , I have one I built for my self but really like yours.

Where in Socal are you located?

I went to pick out some geckos myself, but when I looked I saw that you got all the good ones! :) Darci and I instead got some nice Day geckos.

Great looking tanks!

I just looked up the habitat and it seems they live in more branchy habitat with alot more leaf litter. I can make this happen.
 
Will have a 1-2 10gallons this weekend.

Im going to ship one to a member here on the boards and "test" the shipping.
If it works out well, I will be able to ship nation wide.
 
$15 to drive 30 miles? you drive a panzer tank?

Awesome setups
Business pays 55 cents a mile for personal vehicle use for business purpose-it covers gas, insurance, repairs, maintenance......so $15.00 is a bargain, I would have you come pick it up! But that's just me:)

only some states require business to pay that, here in Cali, it's whatever the boss wants to pay you, unless your federal:(

55 cents is your taxable deductable if not payed by your employer, or you can claim the diffrence


Anywho, make any 20L?
 
I have one 10gallon already set up and another one in the works. It will probably be done by friday.

i can make a 20 gallon if you want. Just let me know.
