Here it is, the tanks!

[Bartman]

Well here is what’s done so far

All we have left is to get the glass for the jungle carpet tank (which right now is WAY to big for him so we decided not to build the boa tank on top yet, and house him in the jcp tank for now)

So the rack is done, heat tape wired and all with a good dimmer that seems to be working great as of now (using Lisa's How To rheostat thread, thanks!!) and the jcp tank, or for now it will be the boa tank is done but just waiting for glass which should be coming in tomorrow.

Here are some pics while in the making
All the components



My Bob Villa of a dad hard at work



The finished rack section, without the iron on white strips.


Then we started the jcp tank. So the non complicated square box was built.


Finished tank facing upward.


You can see on the bottom are 3 black Rubbermaid’s. There was my ball python in there just for a couple minutes that I put there while my dad went to get something. He walks back in and opens up the Rubbermaid....I’ve never seen a full grown man yell like that..LOL

Here you can see the tank more clearly


Here is the rack with everything in it..


Two of my 3 bp's..male on left, female on right


And here is what it looks like so far. We also decided to make the boa tank in a month like I said, but also not to make it span across the rack and jcp tank, but just basically build one more jcp tank to sit on top of it. So ill have a 4x2x2 for him which I think is enough, personally.



The tanks on the right that are empty are going to storage. The tank in the middle, not vertical, is the jcp. Ill keep him in there for a little while longer, then upgrade him to a 33 aquarium, and then into his final home.

Then the cham tank and the cresty tank, the little one, are staying there pretty much.

I posted this quick because I’m going to eat, so sorry for any spelling mistakes, errors, etc.

Thanks!!!!!

[peterm15]

now not tu turn this into an age thing but how old are you.. im just curious cause your room looks like youd be early to mid teens...(id guess 15-18)... but ya its just because its really cool to have your father help you out like that... mine never did... and it seems like your under there roof( im very sorry if im rong) and yet they dont mind you having tha animals you have..... they seem pretty cool..

sorry if im way off base here, its just your father doesnt seem like a herp guy yet he helps you out.. i think thats cool

* edit * well i just found out your age and concider yourselof lucky man... im 19 and my rents are still sayin what i cant have( doesnt mean i lisen) but ya... keep it up and i suggest going and thanking your parrents for being so helpful and understanding in your hobbies and passions... good luck...

[Bartman]

Yea, hes TOTALLY not a herp guy and is scared %*&$less of them lol.

You should work at a carnival guessing ages lol. Im 17, turning 18 pretty soon. I am very much like my father, in that we both like hands on things. Even though he hates reptiles, he enjoys building stuff, so it worked out for both of us

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Great to have parents support. Wish I did, I actually got kicked outta my parents house because of my reptiles

[HetForHuman]

Really good job.

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

Nice adam! Thanks for sharing!

Well, my parents are ok with the reptiles, they support my interest, but dont "like" them or anything. However, I can hand my dad a snake without saying a word and he will just be like "what?!?!?!?!" and I can walk off to do something quickly. Neither are scared of them either.

Its good cause my dad is a hands on kind of guy aswell, and so am I. My buddy and I built a HUGE cage for our Bloods, I'll have to post a pic. Mostly on our own my dad just gave me a couple tips I asked for, and he also lets us use some of his tool, though I have most of my own.

Looks like you have a good sized room too! Im getting half of my basement as my room, and thats where the herps are stayin.

Anyways, im just rambling, lol.

Very nice stuff man, and good job, thanks for sharing!

Nice job Bartman!

[Bartman]

Thanks guys, I just cant wait to set up the big tanks Its going to be my room display tank

[Bartman]

Carlos, thats the big girl on the right in that picture

[csolis]

Nice,how big was she last time you weighed her? oh,I might be getting a little spider as well as the pastel(drooollll!!!)

[peterm15]

how bigs you cham... and what size you u plan on keepin it in...

[Bartman]

Hes going to be in that for a little while, imo. The tank is 1.8x1.8x3.2 feet. Not big enough? He is still small..well not small..but not full grown thats forsure.

Nice,how big was she last time you weighed her? oh,I might be getting a little spider as well as the pastel(drooollll!!!)

No way!!!!!!

I havnt weighed her on anything that id believe lol...is there a digiscale upstairs? Im assuming, since my male is well over 1000, that she is somewhere around that as well. Shes like an inch shorter then him, but eats every week, so her fatness is higher. My males thin..not in a bad way though

[Mark]

Very nice job with the cages. Where did you find black rubbermaids?
