I got it from a local pet shop! it was $2.00 per foot, it was in the aquarium area.

Thanks, I'll look in the aquarium section of my local pet shops. I don't want to be a total copy cat, but I am also building a condo/duplex (it's the very plain looking one above on this page) and yours is waaaay more lovely and sophisticated!!

 

[fez09]

Oh, thanks! It's coming along, I look at everyone else's and feel like I need something else!!! Hope you find it!

Figured this could use a bump. This has gave me lots of ideas for my future bd's viv

I am currently working on a viv for my son for Christmas for his first beardie. I picked up a 55 gallon aquarium with stand off of Craigs list and thought I would share some pice of what I am doing. If any of you have any suggestions as I complete this project let me know.

The stand was made out of angle iron with leg braces. I have made an oak shelf to rest on the braces to hold a dubia breeder and other supplies.

I will also make a platform for the aquarium to sit on with an oak lip to prevent it from sliding off. I am using slate tile for the floor of the viv and have added a small cave/rock for the bd and a few landscape blocks for it to crawl on/around.

I still need to work on something for the left side for it to bask on... I was actually thinking about building something out of Loncoln Logs that my kids are wanting to get rid of now... I would glue the logs together so that it wouldn't fall down and clean them before and after assembly. Does anyone see any problems with using them in a viv??? :?

Once everything is set, I'll clean it one last time, get the lid and lights on and check the temps for a week or so to ensure that it is all working properly... then we go get our bd

HOLY SMOKES! Is that a bunny hutch?? Great idea! Very cool! 8)

 

[kevindeeley12]

it looks a lot like a bunny hutch, but either way, its a cool idea for a beardie, unless you dont want your beardie walking around!! ahaha

Love it!!! What a cute ramp.







I've been working on re-decorating all of the vivs... lmk what you think...


Here's the whole room. I have a Welcome to my Zoo sign on my front door.

Budo's viv, the 4x2x2. (Note the sign I bought for him )

Some pretty basking rocks I found at a rock shop in Utah and couldn't leave without.

The gecko cage

The gecko herself, in all her might.

Ball pythons' vivs

Haha, see Prospekt's little nose peeking out?

The boa constrictor viv

And, the most beautiful of all, the extraordinary blood python viv (/tub)

:roll: I think that one needs a bit more decorating work. (He does have a water dish, I was just cleaning it at the time of the pic.)
