Goonies was filmed in Astoria! That little fishing port still has people travel to it that are huge fans of the Goonies just checking out the sites that are still around. Thanks for the compliments! Chester is indeed a handsome fellow and he's a fun companion. Some people say he is spoiled while...

Yeah, the original owner went crazy with the speckled paint on the outside which is fine by me, that means the wood under it still in pristine condition. I discovered that the speckled paint is over a coat of green paint as well. I may pass on the hammock for now until I have my other additions...

There is no name for the enclosure as far as I know. It may have been made in a highschool shop class. It was on Craigslist for $100 and included a bunch of stuff that I didn't need but gifted out to other reptile friends. It had water damage to the wood and was made of some kind of thick...

For those of you who are following this I recommend you jump over to: "The Hard Knock Life of Chester Copperpot" I posted pictures of his new viv/condo for your viewing pleasure...I'm just to lazy to repost it all here.

We started with a 20 gal long tank. Wasn't exactly what we knew we needed but it worked for the time being. I eventually found this: It was in ok shape. I did some work on it, just a little remodel: So far so good. Then I got a little crazier: Move in ready besides 1 light fixture that I...

Viv is almost ready. The flake at the hydroponic store keeps forgetting to get my light I ordered. I have been dealing with the "2 days" and "tomorrow" response for about a week now. I should have it tomorrow. The tiles just had the grout applied and I am waiting for that to set. I may have to...

It was a chore getting it home but I have friends all over so it worked out on the other hand it has kept me busy the past week.... The previous inhabitant was a turtle so there was some water damage to the wood. It took about an hour to scrape, sand and remove the last bits of bad wood. I...

You're right! I just looked like it but I see it now. :shock: oops

Oh yeah, superworms are not a good idea. Maybe later when he gets bigger and smash the heads. Use small crickets, I would suggest 2-4 week old crickets for your guy or get some reptiworms/phoenix worms. You could do small dubia roaches but they can be spendy. Use waxworms and small meal worms as...

Wood for the basking spot is perfect because it is nonconducting. The heat will go to your beardie instead of the log. Rocks and tile are conductive so they absorb then radiate the heat, they can get too hot too!. For any animal, feeling the ribs is not an issue, seeing the ribs/ribcage is an...

There is one other Star Wars character....it was in Episode 2, he is the cook at some diner that Obi Wan visits to find out about a the dart from Jango Fetts' gun. Pizza and that guy have the same paunchy neck. Also reminds me of the Gungans king from Episode 1. So many odd creatures have...

Yes! Jabba all the way. Pizza is a good name too but Jabba is a great fit. Love the beardies and the vivs, very nice!

Not much has happened the past few days, just a couple chill evenings with Chester surfing the web and watching "River Monsters" on Animal Planet. Today was a little special since I picked up the used viv from my previous update. Not sure about the original beardie that lived in it but I would...

You are welcome! Sometimes a little color will do the trick but don't give out the petal treats everyday. You have to keep your customers guessing.

Your very welcome! :D

Yes, the cute little pansies you can buy at the store. Keep them safe from herbicides and pesticides! This can make your beardie very sick and possibly be fatal!! After you plant them, wait a few months before feeding them to your beardie so the pesticides/herbicides get flushed out. You can...

Even though they say it is safe, get rid of the sand. The bags will state "low impact" and "digestible/absorbable calcium". Total hogwash. My beardie passed some through his system and it came out looking the same. I found him with the stuff caked to his face one day. I took some and placed it...

I would take him off the sand ASAP. Suggested substrates are tile, paper towel, linoleum or non-adhesive shelf liner. If he ate enough of the sand it can or will cause an impaction that could be lethal. I had my beardie on it for about a week and threw it out once i discovered from his feces...

What a fun weekend with Chester! He is not a fan of squash so far but does enjoy the mustard greens! Ever since we have brought Chester into our lives he has been a joy. My son just loves him to pieces and wants to be near him every minute he is here which I told him to be nice about since...

Digital probe thermometers, at least 2, 1 in the cool side, 1 for the basking spot. Tile, non-adhesive liner, paper towel or linoleum for substrate. Healthy greens listed on this website...spray them too to keep the fresh longer and keep them in the cool section...
