Viv pics only thread

[beckyp]

Not for a beardie, but thought I'd show you how hubby has caught the viv building bug since he finished Stumpy's (which I posted a couple of pages back)! He decided to convert Stumpy's old viv into a new home for our leopard gecko Razzi... its almost finished, just needs the heat etc sorted out. Don't know what he's going to do when he's finished - I'm imagining a whole house of various lizards brought just so he can build homes for them!

I've never used an online picture sharing site, I've always just done a direct upload. But since this site doesn't use it what is a safe place to go? I've thought of Photobucket. Is that an okay place? Thanks.

Photobucket is the site I use for posting pics on here, so go for it!

Beckyp, all your viv looks great. Maybe it can be his side hobby to make extra cash. This way he can still keep enjoy making them, and you wont have 5 million things to take care of.

Here's mine. It looks really dark in the pics, that could be because the flash didn't go off. Also, the picture was taken through the sliding glass doors. Either way we're installing a new 36" Reptisun 10 so that should produce way more light than the 18" we have now. One of the questions I have, and I included close-ups, is what to do about crickets that are going to hide up inside the climbing cave thing. And also the space between the wall and the brick. I moved the brick against the wall but they're still gonna be able to get underneath the brick and in between the tile and the wall. Along with that how do people get loose crickets that your beardie doesn't eat out of the cage so they don't eat him?

I used Indian Multi-Color slate tile for the floor and underneath it I put paper towel. The basking spot is the same type tile, held up by bricks that I tried to color match as close as possible to the environment. The log hide was bought from Petsmart and I scrubbed it with a vacuum cleaner scrubber because dusty stuff kept coming off of it. The lizard hammock was from Petsmart and I have the Lizard Ladder. Yes, the temps aren't shown in the picture. I just got done vacuuming underneath the tiles and all that so I took them down but the temps are dead-on. Granted the tile takes a while to heat up, it stays cool to the touch for a while after the lights come on. Let me know what you think! I'm open to suggestions.

grout and seal it into place! jk. Try using a rubbermaid to feed your BD the crix in. For worms and non-climbing roaches you can use a dish with a wall.

I can't wait to get the 50 gallon (that is when I shall try the rock wall and stuff), but for now, this is my 10 gallon
Nothing too original.. yet

Buds Viv updated.

Before,

Next,

After,

You might notice that I have blocked off the cave under the ramp, this is because Bud turns into a total different personality any time she is under there. Evil and extremely scary.

Removable Wall for separate feeding area
