I'm still around, sort of.
I have taken to merely lurking about as I got fired from my "day" job and am working on finishing a double major in biology and chemistry. (That is how I am going to get a real job working with critters one of these days!) The good news is the weather is shifting here now, so I am winding down from my home remodeling projects. This frees up time for more work on vivaria, my vivaria DIY book, and of course, enjoying my critters.
Sadly, I had to give up long ago on selling this fake wood. Truth be told, I just cannot keep up with requests.(And get easily distracted onto other projects) It takes me roughly three hours just to carve a 6 inch piece. I have also found the a pneumatic die grinder is superior to a dremel tool for this project. As I no longer have access to pneumatic tools, this slows the process down even more.
Right now, I literally have a room full of numerous vivaria projects in various states of completion, but I find my studies limit my available "play" time quite a bit.
