so the snow and winter weather and evrything is fine ? i was going to dig down a foot or so and set up rocks and plywood to make a den/hibernaculum and stuff with alfalfa type dead plants and leaves to bed and stay warm in and then cover it all and even add dirt ontop the ground level so there a little moutain ..keeping it even warmer under there in the winter . not bad of an idea right?

and for the pond i would make a shallow water hole and line it with sand n pebbles so its not muddy and just do frequent cleaning.

im very siked about this and i cant wait till we start gettin some half decent weather to start building this big beauty in

im going to take video clips and picture on my progress and post them.

any more ideas and precautions and tips would be appreciated /

thanx

ryan
