I'm back

[1beataway]

It feels like I've been gone so long! My laptop wasn't working, and I got behind in school, and I got sick, and I had to move out of my apartment back home with family because the economy sucks. But I'm back now, and have pictures to share, since I had to reset all my habitats. All my stuff is still in boxes, but their homes are ready to go.


This is the plain habitat for my rosy boa. I just am not sure what else to add; she doesn't climb. I may put a background on it though, to hide the cords. I might get more stack stones and make a bigger cave.





This is the big tank for my White's that I keep rebuilding every few months. I -loved- the last setup, but with these frogs, I really can't have a nice pool area. They dirty it up so fast. I need a bowl I can pull out so I can't dump the dirty water quickly. Luigi is fantastic at making messes.
I will probably add some vines in this tank. One of my friends says she thinks it'll look horrible if I mix live and fake plants, but this tank is just so open now, and they like to hide.




One of my friends also moved into a much smaller place, and since she has 25 or 30 frogs, lizards, snakes, and so on, she couldn't take all of her animals with her. I'm putting her golden tree frog in here. She's also giving me a White's that I'll put in my big tank.




I upgraded my Malaysian Leaf Frog's tank. The small Exo-terra was too small for him, really. He had rubbed the "horns" above his eyes and his nose down. The small Exo-Terra habitat is going for the golden tree frog, and the Malaysian took over my fish tank, which I have no room for. I had to downgrade my three white cloud fish to a 5 gallon tank. Hope you don't hate me, Wyomingite.
But at least the leaf frog is in a bigger tank! I like the look of it too. The leaf frog doesn't move much, so he won't destroy anything (though, I was told by a family member that she put the cup we had put the white clouds into in front of the leaf frog's tank, and after a couple minutes he jumped right at the glass and into the water dish that was located right behind where the cup was. Maybe he wanted to eat fish? He never hunts the crickets).
I plan on putting another live plant, one that vines, on the side that has less covering.


Hopefully, I'll be around to talk more. Look for me on the chat.

So sorry to hear you have a hard time lately hunny. Your set-ups are amazing especially like the white's. I thought my water dish for mine was too plain looking so got some peebles and used aquatic silicone to glue them in place. I then left it to settle for 48hrs then hey presto a nice looking pond that is easy to clean

I like that idea. I know about aquatic silicone and using it to glue rocks, but I haven't thought of this. I could make it seem more in place by adding rocks around the dish. Thanks!

Your welcome hunny another idea is put a thin covering of silicone on the base of the pond and press in pea gravel for a more natural look

Or he can make a dish made out of pea gravel, and glue some fake plants around the border.

Welcome back Elaine. I would use a solid, one-piece hide box rather than stacked stones, Snakes are strong and could accidently push on of the supporting stones and be crushed or injured by the falling one above it.

Actually, she has pushed the stones before. They're not that high right now, so it hasn't been an issue but I may need to really watch out for that.

Sheesh, why can't my animals just appreciate my designs and not ever mess up the habitats?

[Kurt]

Because they're animals. Be thankful you don't have a furniture destroying sulcata.

Or, you could just glue the stones together
and welcome back

Welcome back! I haven't been able to post much. My family and I just moved to New Hampshire, and we're very busy unpacking.

Hey! I may be moving to New Hampshire next summer!

Cool. I live very close to NH.
