That is a really cool branch, CricketSlayer. Sahara seems pretty happy and active in the new viv. My children have been enjoying his antics here at the house. The kiddos at school can't wait for him to come back after Thanksgiving break though. Every day, each class asks about him which...

Here is the current state of the 75G. Thin flagstones from the home improvement store, tile we already had from the kitchen floor, large rock from the flowerbed, cool branch I cut down in the back yard a few years ago, fake plant from the tank at school. Hinged screen cover ordered and should...

I think the 75 G is going to stay at home. He won't get to spend all that much time in it, but then he will have more room to hide if he is really stressed out by being transferred each weekend. I am also considering just bringing him home for a few weeks at a time so he is able to adjust to...

I ordered the 36" T5HO reptisun 10.0 bulb and a reflective fixture for the house. Put down tile for the substrate, added some rocks and a log. I plan on adding tile to the viv at school, so they will be pretty similar but the rocks and logs are different shapes and sizes than the ones at...

Thoughts on including a digging box or live plants?

Thank you for the suggestion. I will be walking through the woods this weekend looking for some cool tank decor. Up to this point, I haven't seen Sahara do much climbing, but then again he only has a fake resin tree stump and he is a little too big for it.

Either way he is going to have to acclimate to new surroundings. Wouldn't it be better to let him have the larger enclosure in the place he spends the most time?

Hi all- This is Sahara, and he lives in the STEAM lab at school. He was donated to the science program (and by default, to me since he is solely my responsibility) at the beginning of the school year. This is his current set-up in a 40 gal breeder and he seems pretty happy with the new...

I love that picture of the window blinds! Does he climb up them or just peek out?

That is a great idea. I'll have to see what I can make for him to lounge in on the windowsill. Thank you!

Sahara had a new adventure today. Sitting in the window enjoying a little sunshine, we has able to watch some of his kiddos at recess. I made him a little harness so I could work at my computer and he could explore the window nook at the same time, but he didn't move at all.
