Profile: Emily Dickinson

[dinosaurdammit]

So with my new computer and its webcam I have decided to do weekly or even daily updates on my channel.

Anyway I did a profile on Emily, my female chinese water dragon. I never handle her much because she doesnt like it. Anyway the video explains her better than I can write.

I cant move the camera anywhere, but if you look behind me its the giant green closet thing. It would be easier to move the enclosure (which i may do anyway as its cluttersome in the kitchen)

Or pictures would work to. I just love seeing the different set up people come up with for their reptiles.

Ive been without a camera for an age, i was actually stoked when I got this web cam. I will probably move it over by the computer and just move the cam so you can see the whole thing. Essentially my husbands shop needed to get rid of a coat closet so he dismantled it, and here it is, though we sealed it and used quick crete as a floor because I was afraid i couldnt seal the floor as well. It got a nice green coat on it. The hardest thing to build was the plexi glass doors. Ugh. I hate messing with plexi glass.

Is it like cutting regular glass you melt in a kiln to make art and crap? I can do that fairly well.

No its nothing like normal glass. Its made out of the seed of satan dried in the fiery blazes of belzabub's mother in law's house

Plexi is a bit of a pain. I use a straight edge and a razor. The trick is to score it at least 4-5 times before you try and snap it, This will give you the best chance at a clean cut.

dang. they told us only score it one good time. this may have been my problem

[Gungirl]

I used to work with the stuff all the time. Scoring it once will almost never result in a decent break. Even if you use a lot of force that score line is still likely to split.

Mine ended up looking like some sort of demonic pants zipper where it was all jagged, so that goes on the hinge side.

[Corey209]

Can you use an actual glass cutter with plexi to score it?

Emily looks like a male lol

shes not lol. She was actually sexed when we got her. Compare her to nate and you will se a HUGE difference.

No..They make special cutters for plexi but all in all just use a standard utility knife. A glass cutter cuts to fine of a line you need something with a little more umph than that.

went to a friends baby shower and we all got to talking about herps because one of them is a biology teacher and brittany said "hey wanna see her cage?". She helped us finish it up and I didnt even know she had taken pictures but here is the set up before we drilled the hole for the cords, note the uv light isnt in yet as we had to drill first


the inside has changed a lot, the vines are hand braided natural fibers, they look and feel legit, they also dont get slick when wet- most have moss on them now. There are also MORE plants and vines.
