Pics of my new BRB

nekomi Feb 14, 2005 11:16 PM

Just thought I'd show off a pic of my new female BRB! I've named her Ziazan, which is Portuguese for "rainbow". (Appropriate, right? ^_~) I just call her Zia for short. I took her out of her cage tonight for some pics and some exploring.

I have several other pictures posted in the Photo Gallery, as well as at my website (pictures of my cichlids there, too):

Hope you enjoy!

This is a pic of the cage before the back and sides were painted. The towel was hung to hide all the wiring

Very nice BRB. After seeing it's size in this pic you need to be feeding large hoppers/small mice, definately not pinks. Good luck and and set up looks awesome too. Congrats.

Uncloudy,

Thanks for the compliments! I really like the cage setup, and Zia seems to be enjoying it, too. Decorating the cage was one of my favorite aspects, and I'm looking forward to setting up a better display when she outgrows this cage.

Thank you also for the feeding recommendations. She took 4 f/t pinkies tonight, with no trouble at all. I'll keep her on them until the All-Ohio next month, and I'm sure by that point that she'll be on small mice.

Thanks again!
