She just jealous. lol I am glad you did you already given me a couple ideas that i am going to use for mine.

Cheers mate, i really like the idea of the tub on rails, the one way glass and the pond as all snakes enjoy a little swim once and a while.

I am jealous, if I could build my own vivs I most definately would.

Ah its not that hard to do really, they are just boxes after all. I just got a quote for a fake rock background for the back with a water fall and pond built as well as two basking areas on it. Its aztec temple themed and will cost just over $1000 australian so i might do that instead. I just have to decide wether or not i want to spend all that cash.

I say go for it, since the set up is so big you may as well make a nice feature of it

percey39 · 09-22-10, 09:02 AM

Haha its easy to say but its a lot of money lol, it would look awesome though. I will be spending a further $400 on fake palms and vines as well as getting my big tree branch, so there would be plenty of spots for a bask. The pond the guy will make is
900mm x 900mm and 100mm deep which would be ideal for a soak.

Exactly, if you're shelling out for a beautiful set up you may as well complete it

percey39 · 09-22-10, 09:06 AM

Well did you want to donate to the cause haha. I put a few pics up of moosey for you as he has grown heaps and lumi just shed so will go get photo's for you now.

.: Laura :. · 09-22-10, 09:08 AM

Yeah I saw

Moose is so beautiful, be careful Lumi doesn't chomp the camera :P Got a rather sweet picture of the sick patient the other day, I'll have to change my avatar

percey39 · 09-22-10, 09:16 AM

He was very well behaved and enjoyed his treat of his 4 adult mice afterwards lol he just went nom nom nom. Throw up a pic of the little girl in my new pics thread, i would like to see how your patient is doing. I hope she is getting better!!

Brilliant build idea.... really can't wait to see how this moves on. You are also really lucky to be able to keep outdoor enclosures for snakes - weather over here precludes this, except for our native species!

percey39 · 09-24-10, 04:05 AM

Cheers Jennet. We can only keep our natives here also, but where i live there are now wild pythons only venomous species. This does not affect me to much as i keep mainly venomous species and im about to start maikng outdoor pits for them. As i have seen peoples animals that live in pits and they act more wild and hunt more avidly.

I have now only got 2 more coats of paint to go YAY. I have one more coat of black and then the clear water proof sealant. I have just sent away some photo's of the designs i am getting done for my background. I will put them up for you guy's to look at. It will be a front on view like the second pic but will have ledges on the window for basking spots as well as the branches of the tree.

je préfère le premier

percey39 · 09-29-10, 06:45 PM

Yeah but the first would be harder to tranfer as a background, but they are the same temple. I will be using the colours from the first but have a front on view i think.
