This looks great! I'm loving watching the progress! I can't wait until we start building mine. I was hoping to have it done by now but money is tight so another month or so.

I like # 3. What kind of paint is safe to use in the viv? Does it need to be sealed as well and if so, with what kind of sealer?

I am interested in knowing the answer to this as well.

My plan was to get my son and husband to build me a crossfire viv and custom stand and get it all set up and ready to go by March-ish and then get my first beardie. (still growing my Dubia colony right now) It seems I am never able to save up the money for the supplies with all these darn...

I use papertowel tubes and toilet tissue tubes. They work great for me!

I;ve been trying to find a beach background with no luck. Has anyone come across one?

Great deal!! I bought a "starter kit" colony about a month ago. I definatly think you need more ventilation. Like nenders said...about an 8 inch square with mess screening glued to it so nothing could get in or out. I would stand the egg crates up and if you cant find anymore...you can...

If you don't mind me asking...where did you find a fixture for the 36inch bulb? I can't find one anywhere unless it is for 2 bulbs. Thanks!

Not a Wisc. resident... just a GB lover! and a Favre lover. So now I am split between GB and MINN. I know...I know....it's a horrible thing.

Awesome vivs and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the curtains in the room!!!

Darn...I love the beach..I was interested in seeing what you came up with.

That is hilarious!
