I think the guy that told me Eli was around 4 months old was probably wrong. Idk, I need to go back in and ask again, maybe when I buy more crickets, maybe they had him for 4 months, but I think he has to be older than that at 12.5 inches. They told me they would ask the breeder for the exact...

Lol, so I'm sitting on the couch with Eli wandering around the couch and my lap. I have my cable bill on my lap and I'm on the phone to pay them when Eli walks onto my lap and onto the bill and poops all over it, and I mean ALL OVER it. How can so much poop come out of such a small animal. It...

found this light can; http://www.lowes.com/pd_99432-38269-IC20R_4294857051__?productId=1115605&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1 I was hoping for a 4" can, but this is the smallest that is airtight and rated to have insulation put right on it. I asked the guy at lowes about polystyrene and he...

what is a good distance from bulb to basking spot? And about what wattage? I am going to go to the hardware store to look for some recessed lighting cans, maybe they have a good ceramic one that would reflect heat out. Im kind of waiting for mud to dry so I wanna start with some other things I...

Got the tile on the sides put in; Still need to grout once everything dries. Hopefully the grout will look nice. Its gonna be hard to edge the stair case type of thing. I had to use a butter knife to get the mud in just the right areas to stick the tile on. I still have to; Wait for my...

Got the back painted; Ive never really painted anything before so Im pretty pleased with how it turned out. Now to start up on some tile... Its getting late, but I really want to have all the tile in so I can grout it tomorrow... So tired though :-|

Wow, can I buy one from you? :D I dont think I could do all those knots and try and keep it straight. That looks infinitely better than the store bought green ones.

Food or water bowl dino footprint idea... BRILLIANT! :blob5: I am totally going to try it. I just hope I can carve well enough so its recognizeable as a dino foot print. For some smaller footprints around the structure I was thinking of just grabbing some dino toys, my sons have plenty, and...

For the fake plants with a stem do you drill into the fake rock then glue it in there? I am glad someone asked this question, I am going to start on my fake rock soon and would like to encorporate some greenery. Any particular type of fake plants used? does it necessarily have to come from...

Yes, Ive been on lizard landscapes quite a bit, gotten a lot of good ideas from them. What I was thinking though is that I would like it to be removable easily. So I may do about three pieces that I can slide into the corners and one in the middle, that should cover up the boards in the...

I made a lot of progress on the coffee table viv today. Got the bottom put in and secured, I was able to get it a little lower than I thought I would so that will give him 17.5" of living space (before tile). I bought plexiglass and trim for the side upper windows, just need to cut the trim to...

I had kind of a weird thing happen, Is this normal? I wanted to take Eli outside for a while for some sun, its a nice warm day, maybe 88 degrees or so. I put him and his log from his enclosure into a very large plastic tub that I have, same tub I feed him in. I left him in the sun. I went to...

I didnt know whether to post it here or on the DIY section, so I put it in the DIY section. But wanted to ask people here for some help, check it out :D viewtopic.php?f=75&t=176531 Hopefully this will be a really cool viv pretty soon.

Got my beardie, Eli. Last saturday. He is currently living in a 20 gal fish tank...That needs to change. Ive posted on the introduction section if anyone wants to see the little guy. So I want to convert a coffee table into a viv here is the coffee table im starting on; The large tempered...

Not gonna raise the coffee table, it will still be used as a coffee table so Eli is always front and center and never lacks for attention. It does have a huge glass top though (that I will tint) so we can look in but he won't be able to see out. One or two sides will be glass. Gonna remove the...
