However, if you put up a piece of wood inside the enclosure, in front of the doors, that is around 12" wide, and screw it in place, then this piece of wood will contain the substrate. Then you can open the doors without it all pouring out the front.

Sorry Jarich! I actually understood about doing that many posts ago. I thought the "Damn" was something to do with draining the excess water from the substrate, I do apologize =] Anyway, how is your Savannah? I imagine living in a perfect vivarium as happy as ever, I did actually take a look at your vivarium and it did look very clean and nice

No problem, I figured it was just a misunderstanding but wanted to be very clear just in case.

Mine is doing well and still eating like a horse. Thanks for the kind words, though I dont know that I would say my enclosure is perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Always room for improvement (plus its only 7 feet long, so could be bigger in all honesty). There are some other keepers on here with much nicer looking ones (jealous of that water feature, Aja! )

Oh well the point is you have a very good set-up and vivarium =D and ohh don't even go there! I so want one of those in mine :P I don't even understand fully how the water circulates from top to bottom but it's so cool! And would save such a big hastle, mine literally gets a sludge of top soil and play sand in there within a few hours it is annoying lol. I'll have to take another look at your threads for a good look at your sav got any videos?

I haven't even tried mine on them yet, at first I actually found it hard to find them all my local supermarkets, ASDA, Sainsburys, Tesco's etc etc didn't sell them but found a fish market and they sell at good prices I've heard. Anyway give me heads up when you post the video =D
