Robert,

I was wondering if that was what they were. I have used them myself with scorpionlings.

Cheers,
Dave

Beautiful job, Rob!
Do you mind my asking where you are buying your aquariums from? I called around, and the local Petsmart has the best prices so far, about 13 dollars for 10 gallons.
I, too, will be working on a rack built for aquariums for that 'pet store look'! Then I get to look at the empty thing for like, YEARS, since the majority of my inverts are babies....boohoohoo....

Also, you know how those wood poles have printing on them one side? For my monitor cage, I just picked up a flapwheel sander for my rotary tool, and am going to sand off all the printing. I think it is a VAST improvement. I can't stand those ink marks.

Glad to see you're having fun!

Damn, the glass looks way better than the plastic plahouses... I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all finished. Keep us updated with photos!

Bonjour Robert!

Yeah its the Dom u know lol .. I am the one who picked up the 10 pink toes, various species of centipedes and the scorps a few months back... There doing pretty well now ..

Thanks for the compliments on my set ups.. My reptile set ups have changed a bit though ... Ill post some pics soon enough.

I wish I had your passion for inverts although the only one I own is a mexican red knee that is now the size of a loonie lol I hate dealing with Crix .. can't wait till she eats mice.

Best of luck with your room .. keep us updated

Dave, Have water munchies worked well for your scorpionlings? Any particular reason you specified scorpionlings and not adults? I figure adults would'nt drown but would they go for it?
Dragoon, as for where I get the tanks, I unfortunately can't tell you, sorry. Nothing illiegal just can't say. I can however tell you that the 4 empty ones and the others that will fill the empty space where built custom for someone and turned out to be the wrong size therefor this particular person needed to liqudate them. They mersure 30x12x11high and are perfect for deviding in 3. as for the printing on the wood, I'm not worried as I have BIG plans for that, lol. Remember I said it wasn't fiished, lol? You'll just have to wait and see, muhahahaha.
Emily, what do you mean keep you updated with photos? You live right next door, lol. Not really but only 5 minutes or so.
Dom, What do you mean by "There doing pretty well now .. "? Wheren't they doing well at the begining? Are you going to the rept show on the 22th? I think BAZ is going, I don't know him personnaly but heard he was going, I thought you guys would go together.

arachnomania · 02-01-04, 09:46 AM

Oh and dragoon, $13 is an amazing price for a 10 gallon as pet shops tend to sell them between 20 and 25 and beleive me, they make pennies off these things, they make their profit on other things, not tanks. But I figure you know this already, lol
Take care and yes I was having fun,lol. I guess I had tiold you about friday, lol?

Dom · 02-01-04, 10:01 AM

Rob ..

Reason I say there doing pretty well is simple .. there not my animals lol So I am not the one taking care of them! .. They were in great shape to begin with lol Of course! I am now a part time employee at the zoo and have began a new job so .. I don't really take care for the animals anymore .. when I am there.. it's mainly just entertaining the public.

I have about 10 friends from Ottawa going down to the show.. so we're taking a few seperate cars .. Pretty sure Baz is going down too as I am.

The 10 ppl in Ottawa that have a collection bigger then a few leos and corns lol Man I wish there was more ppl in the area.

Take care man .. I'll see u there

Hey thanks for the info, Rob. It was my local Petsmart that has them at that price. I'm happy with my find then.

Ummm...please don't tell me you're going to paint the racks black?
Ughhh...

This coming from a girl who just mounted two big purple and blue stuffed butterflys on the front of her monitor cage...eeee, they're so cute! I found them in the baby toys section of Walmart. Wish I could find some beanie baby T's. I love stuffies.

Yeah I can get tanks for that price, it is just the lids that are expensive.

Rob,

It is hard to say whether the scorpions have been eating the cricket water. Theoretically, they should be able to (unlike Ts), but I don't know if they recognize it for what it is. What I can say is that I have yet to lose a scorpionling that I have housed with cricket water -- not a huge sample size, though, so I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,
Dave
