I was looking at you pics in the croc section and was wondering how you make your ponds in your enclosures?

Hi Tom... The dwarf crocodile pond is actually just a waterland tub that I built my enclosure around.. The trigonatus pictures are a pond made simply from a plywood box (using 3/4" plywood) screwed together, painted with a 2 part epoxy (I use one called Bar-Rust 235) and then just silicone the seams. The largest that I have done this way was a pond 8X4X2 which I was able to easily install a drain and an external pump and filter. I would strongly recommend applying 2 coats of the epoxy. These are a great way to go for smaller animals that continuously need upgraded enclosures. The epoxy costs around $100 Canadian and sheets of plywood are around $30. The nice thing is as well, you can build to fit any space.
