Hi Mate.

It was indeed me who built a triangular viv.

Unfortunatly it didn't get completely finished althogh it did get used for a few weeks.

Sadly Dave who the viv was being built for passed away and he was my last remaining collared out of my original collection of 6. Infact he was my first ever rep.

not going to bore you with the details, so here is pic requested.

This pic was very much mid build and glass and viv decorations were obviously all used, along with the background being finished in several layers of sand and varnish to make look much more like sandstone.

Hi Eve,

Yeah afraid to say its the end of an era,

Loosing him kinda messed me and the GF up quite a lot, we always knew loosing him would be the hardest, I should have mailed ya back, sorry about that.

I can hold my head up high and say that we did everything we possibly could have and probably more.

He ate a few times towards the end on his own, But i think he body basically rejected what he ate as he always thre the hoppers up.. even tiny ones.

I was really really bummed about it, and putting his viv outside in garage and everything really was sad. In a way it was fortunate for us that we had a puppy arriving a few days after we lost him, so our minds have been pre occupied by him, so thats helped.

Many thanks to everyone, especially you Eve as i have had so much help from you guys over the years.

not thinking about getting more too soon as i need to know its deff what i want to do, and i dont want to replace my old bunch....so we are just enjoying the pup and see how things go.
I think we probably going to get some auricpes from Holland so that they are a little different, but we are taking our time on deciding.

First time in 5 years or so we dont have any reps...

Andy
