I'm a newbie here and just saw those great pics of your tank,I tried to reply to your message,but it would never show up....

First off,let me say, what a tank!!!! That is by far,the best tank I have ever layed my eyes on!!
I have a question,Are the plants in the tank real? I love the look those plants gave your tank. I have cactus plants my self,and after seeing your tank,I thought about adding a couple to mine,but i wanted to see if yours were real or not first.
Have you asked the guy that made yours,if he would be interested in makeing some $$ and making something like that for someone else?
Ok enough with the questions,just wanted to tell ya what a great setup you have given your lizards!!

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, those are real cacti in there. A word of caution... my male lizard, Amon, frequently impales himself on the spines and I have to remove them with tweezers. He hasn't done it in about a week, so maybe he's learned his lesson. Amaunette has never done that.

Actually, I did talk to the guy that made the background for me to see if he'd be interested in setting up shop to sell his creations... he priced it at EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS! So, no; that's not going to happen. Hell, you can buy the commercial ones for around $300.
