So completely off cars but think it's good to see what other interests people have in common.......
I recently acquired two female leopard geckos, 3 yrs old. The came in a very basic 2' vivarium, which after doing some reading does isn't really a suitable habitat and was set up all wrong for their needs.
So I I set out to build a new twin layer vivarium in a book case that I had, bought all the bits required to make a nice home, barring getting the glass cut. Then in my local pets at home they were closing this weekend for a refit and clearing display stock, so ended up buying a 4' vivarium at half price......worked out nearly what would cost for the glass on previous project lol. Just ment now had to find space for it
Anyway, I set it all up Saturday, let the temperatures settle and moved the geckos in yesterday.....They seem happy in there new home and I'm well chuffed with how it turned out. Seeing them now in this large space, I'd never dream of keeping them in a small viv again. Anyway. ......
