I awoke the The DI parents and their yearling daughter and put them in the big viv. I plan to keep the collareds down brumating half the year while the DIs are up and vice versa. This way both species have access to the big viv. The adult aquaflames were put in the fridge about when I awoke the adult DIs. The offspring of the Collareds are about ready to brumate though and will go in the fridge in a couple of days. Some are in the smaller viv. I have been putting one or 2 juvie collareds in the big viv to see how they get along with the DIs. Tuffy the male DI is in full breeding fury and he seems to be OK with the juvie female Collared.

Looks real inviting, like you could pull up a a Lounge chair and just relax, hehheheheh ! NIce Job. Hey did you find homes for all the hatchlings? I take it you kept a female or so for yourself? I have 6 more eggs (colllared)ready to hatch in about 2 weeks!! Always something going on over here, LOL Take it easy! Eve

Thanks Eve, it is inviting I could fit in there. Its almost 6 feet long. When I was making it several years ago my wife said If I croak before her she will put me in it seal it up and bury me in it.

I said make sure the cemetery changes the bulbs regularly .

Of the 8 Collareds I sold only 2 female hatchling Aquaflames. I still have 4 females and 2 males that are bluing up nicly. I will have to sell one of the males next year though before they start to fight.

We will have to get together one of these days.

hehehheh, won't need your wife to change any of the bulbs (HOPEFULLY) LMAO !!!
Would be cool getting together, but thats a story for another day! Would have helped if Hubby was into all this, he likes all my critters, and the computer is fine, but not too crazy about the REAL LIFE thing, LOL I don't want to rock the boat so to speak, have to EASE him in slow, hehheheh !

Why don't you ever post pics of your large iggy? Heard about him, never saw him. I love big lizards. Have a few med. An Adult Egyptain uro, and a merauke BTS, she's heading towards 2 feet, long, her and Northern BTS get the biggest. But the big ones are just awesome. Hubby steers clear of the big ems !!! Hhehehe LOL
