It looks like it's going to turn out to be very nice! What is the wooden thing in the kitchen, is it going to be a rack? Good luck with your project.

Yes tammy, as you can see in this picture, one of them is finished. Please keep in mind that all glass aquariums will be used.

Very nice job, will love to see the finished product with the decorated vivariums.

No I think that if I would've built them wednesday night, they'd be pretty crooked, lol

Dom, My collection and breeding projects are concentrated on Brachypelma's and Poecilotheria's. I also collect/breed other species that are of interest to me. There are some with very nice colors, rare, etc.... that just don't do it for me. I had at one point wanted to collect every and all species available to me and had reached the 124 species (not specimens, lol) mark and I found that it wasn't what I really wanted in a collection. Once my room is better organized I will work on a list as to what i have in my collection as due to the moving of tanks etc, I have some of mine and my for sale ones all mixed together.
I checked out you pics as I had a feeling Dom was the Dom that I knew, lol. Your setups are k1ck a$$ buddy!!!!!!!!!! If you were in charge of setting up the A avicularia's as I'm sure you were, it must be impressive!

Dave, the blue jars are water munchies. Have you ever heard of that? It's water/jelly that is used to water crickets as they won't drown in it. They escentially eat it but it's water. It is also good for roaches. What's great about this is that you don't need a water bowl, you just dump some in the tank with your crickets.

My room is still far from finished, it should be some times in the next month or so. LOTS of stuff still needs to be done but at least it's workable now.

Yeah I have the same thing for my crickets known as Easy Water, its pretty good. Last few times I put in the moist paper towel a few got stuck under and died, sofar with this I have had one casualty within 2 weeks.
