I finally gave up on paper towel, shelf liner, etc, and went to tiles for that very reason! :) They're pretty darn good at hiding in fake plants, rocks, and everything else as it is, I didn't need 'em hiding under shelf liner. :evil: I didn't want to use any adhesive stuff, for obvious...

LOL! That sounds pretty familiar... (well, except for the toaster-sized beardie dream, although now that it's planted in my head ya never know...) :lol: Yeah, the poo art is pretty much a constant, whether it's just on the glass or on the floor tiles or on the paper... Armando is very...

thanks! He just looked like he should be called Armando :) He's running up and down my arm while i try to type this...

thanks! Yeah, he is a cute lil' cuss... He's gonna get away with all kinds of stuff. :)

After much research (thanks to all for the great posts and information), I took the plunge today and am the proud dad of little Armando! He's about 8" long and curious as heck. Tiny image of him as my avatar, I'll get around to posting more pix later... :) Looking forward to the future and...
