Announcements/Change of Plans

[Kisa]

Hey everyone, just thought I'd throw you all a quick update. I don't know how many of you have been reading my latest posts about new editions and new tanks and all that, but here;s the skinny on my inside operation, just in case anyone cares. XD

So, just recently I was having a talk with Cheri and we decided it might be better if I keep Paul Newman, one of the White's we drove down to San Diego to pick up last month. This decision was reached upon a series of conversations, but honestly I would have been really sad to see the little guy go, and am happy that he's staying with me.

Of course this puts Cheri on the top of the list for any blue eyed babies that may come in the future, if I decide to breed my White's in the end, as Paul might be the only male in the whole group! XD; It was very nice for her to offer to let me keep him, and since she put so much money and time into helping me out with both of their set ups (not to mention the funds for even purchasing them) I intend to pay her back as best I can in the future.

Anyway, as for the plans. Since I now have four White's and that is too many too keep in the 18"x18"x24" Exo Terra I was planning on housing three of them in (until they got way too big and I absolutely HAD to shift them all) I have changed my mind about the 131 Gallon tank I recently bought with the intention of building it for a buttload of D. auratus and have decided it would better serve us all as a permanent home for my White's. As Cheri said, they'll really appreciate the space, and I think they all deserve it after the ordeals they've been through. XD;

SO, I have already bought all the supplies and my dad and I have started to build the 131 Gallon with the White's in mind. Mind you, we only have a bottom panel of plastic put in for water proofing, and we still need a new front and top panel of plexi, but it'll be coming along in the next few weeks. So keep your eyes open for my big build!

Thanks to everyone for listening/reading, I really appreciate all the support! ^ ^

That's awesome kisa..I will look out for the big build..Yay!!

See...four in a 130 gallons they're gonna love it. The Auratus will be fine in the medium Exo Terra. Plus it makes more sense converting the wood tank for tree frogs. Also, just a side note. Don't use plexi on the lid because it will warp from the humidity and heat from the lights. Maybe get some screens made to size. You could use tabs around the edges to secure it. Since the tank is so long you could have two made instead of one big long one. Just some thoughts.

Sounds like a great plan... Kisa, congratulations fr Paul Newman. And Cheri, your generosity keeps on amazing me.

well, now that you've had a change of plan and species to a tree frog. Have you thaught of standing that viv on end? I know you have limited living space, and a vertical orientation would make allot more room for you. And with a super tall viv, you could have some awsome plants in there. And the whites would use that height to the very top, ok maybe not Wayne. He's a little verticaly challenged, unless he's been climbing more.

I know you're having to start over, but it's an idea. But your top side make glass too, and it would be awesome in a corner, like a frog tower condo!!

Awesome! I'm glad you have another new froggie, and I'm excited to see the big new tank when its finished. My frogs are jealous.
