Thought I'd post some pics, feel free to make the fake rocks. I posted instructions on a different website than my business site. There are also instructions for building the cages.

I built this treefrog tank as a mock up of a 55 gal dart frog tank I recently built. It is used to quarentine some red eye tree frogs...a little over the top but it gets the job done.

WOW!!!!! Hill, those are some amazing enclosers you have there.... And your animals are beautiful..... Even though we do not agree on that one little subject, I have to give you credit where it is due......

Hey Hill
I have to ask. How hard is it to clean your tanks it looks like alot of work. I was also wondering if your rocks were made from floral foam and then painted?
Thanks
Bill

Wow! I love all your cages! Especially the frog cage. I've tried to do something like that but it never turns out the way I want it..hehe. Good luck next breeding season! Hey we both live in GA maybe we could do some trading after the seasons over. Just a thought. Let me know what you think.

Thank you for your compliment Gregg, I expend a lot of time, effort & of course money to provide the best care for all of my pets as I am sure you do as well.

The fake rock - it is made of polystyrene that is used for insulation. It comes in 16" x 48" sheets (3/4" wide) from lowe's. The floral stuff is too crumbly for me! I cover the styrene in gray (or whatever color stickes me) tile grout that is sealed with a waterbased grout sealer. I put pictures and step by step instructions on a website : www.freewebs.com/herptips/
It is easy to make but it takes some time and can be rather messy!

Hey Katie, I saw on one of your fauna ads that you are in Powder Springs. I am in Austell (right by the east west connector and austell rd.) I can show you some of the cages and how it is done if you ever want to stop by my work. Email me and I'll tell you which school I teach at. Maybe we can do some breeding laons with leos!

Yep your collection gets bigger everytime you dissappear and then show up! lol
The rainbow boa and GTP are awesome. I should've snapped some pics of the 55 gallon dart frog tank I built...it would have been perfect for your darts. I left my camera at work and the guy was in a huge hurry to pick it up...oh well. I am getting ready to put together a BIG setup for myself. I bought and refinished a 96 gallon acrylic tank last summer that I will be putting a huge tooper on. It should end up 4'L x 6'H x 2'D (with the stand). I am filling the tank with water and plants (lilypads!!) I haven't decided on what animals to put in it. Got any ideas?? The water will be 2' deep.
