Hello my friend

Just popping in to check on you and GemSquash..

Happy 5th month birthday Gem, sorry we're late :roll: I have to keep better track of your thread, Michele. Hope you had a HAPPY THANKSIGIVING and enjoyed Dawn's Florida turkey! :mrgreen: Glad to see Gem's growing like a weed, wow, he's getting really BIG :shock: I'll be looking forward to checking him out in his new viv. You do have your camera ready, right Michele? So many 1sts in his life, he's just growing so fast.

All our babies are getting up today, like it or not, to have baths & get some water. Sweetie and Lonzo have been up daily, but no flirting on Sweetie's part when she sees Lonzo, which is always good news, means no eggs yet!

HUGS and snuggles from us all to you and Gem,
Deb

Thanks Taryn and Deb

Gem and I had a nice Thanksgiving. I brought him with me to my mom's for dinner.My niece lives with her and has a female beardie named Fen. When I first showed Gemini Fen it was through the plexiglass door on her cage and Gem couldn't really see her.My niece took her out and we sat on the floor.Gemini got a glimpse of her and wanted her in a bad way,LOL! Thank goodness I had his harness on because he lunged for her. His beard was very black all the way down to his chest.Fen wasn't fazed at all,lol! After dinner my sis,my 2 nieces and their boyfriends followed me back to my house and helped me move the new tank into the livingroom. I didn't have time to set it up so Gem stayed in the 40gal in the middle of the livingroom lastnight.I didn't want to put him in a new environment when I had to work all day today. I'm kinda setting it up now and checking the temps and tomorrow will be his first full day in his new home. I have all day tomorrow and Monday to watch the temps and how he adjusts to his new surroundings I will post pics tomorrow or Monday
I weighed and measured him tonight...310 grams and 17.5''
He is very grumpy right now because he is about to shed his head and legs.

 

[puppytoes72]

Well Gemini is in his new "room" (since yesterday morning) and he seems to like it
It is 150 gal (48Lx24Dx31H).I got it used for $100,including stand. I cleaned it out really good and I siliconed the crack in the bottom of the glass

The tank was way too tall so I built up the floor with some recycled items.

I added a sheet and fake plants to hide the gawdiness and then I put a piece of plexiglass as a "subfloor".

then bought some slate tiles and had them cut to fit at Lowes.

This is b4 I added the background. You can see all the lampstands and wires. From left to right...100w T-Rex uvb, 100w basking bulb,and a CHE I use only on cold nights.

after I put the backround on the back and right side

For the background I went to the fabric store and bought 72'' of felt ($5) and velcro strips ($2). The strips wouldn't stick to the glass so I had to use crazy glue (I ended up gluing my fingers together,LOL!)

In the next pictures you can see that he is about to shed

soooooo sleepy

2 pictures I took a couple weeks ago

i love gem's new home, michele! great job on it. he's so lucky to have you also, those last two pictures are quite stunning!

 

[fez09]

Great new pics, I like the one by his food dish! His new "digs" look awesome!!

 

[beardie parents]

That can't be Gemini, that beardie is way to big to be Gem. Either that or you have been feeding him sides of beef.
Oh, yes, you probably have, as Dawn did last year with Bliggy.

 

[diamc]

Wow Michele, Paul and I were very impressed. 8) Loved the way you raised the floor with the restaurant goodies. Sure worked out well and you're very clever, you did it all yourself except for cutting the tiles and moving the tank. You should be very proud! It looks absolutely great, the greenery adds a nice touch. Seems like he likes the stone ramp and "basking thingy" (lol) better than what he had before. He has a LOT of basking options too, bet once he's over this shed, he'll be moving from spot to spot to check them all out. The felt worked out great too.

In the "sleepy" picture, it sure looks like he is content and smiling. Just curious, what seems to be his favorite basking temp since he's older now?

Those pictures of him on the blanket in front of the window are too precious. :love5: Looks like a real stud muffin. :lol:

 

[fresnowitte]

OM~GOODNESS!!! Did you say 310grams? SHEEZZZ :shock: You are feeding him sides of beef. :lol:
I have to weigh the biggest boy tomorrow I still have him (the last male...and 4 girls) I'm sure Gem is much bigger than them now.

The viv came out awesomely great. :mrgreen:
It's nearly 155 gallons thank goodness you decided to raise the bottom. Wheew! That would have been a booger to get into clean. Yikes! What a spoiled boy. :mrgreen:

So he's showing his manliness huh? LOL
I bet that was cute him and your neices beardie Fen. :love5: I love to watch the opposite sexes communicate. :lol:

I'm glad you had a good holiday and found help to move the viv.

Hugs & Snuggles!
