Very nice Latman....I hope you didnt snortup too many vapors doing that! How tuff would it be to build in some nooks/crevices? Given you live in a sea of rocks...Im not sure what the real value of this mischief is...but a lad/lassie in Iowa might have need for it, tho I spoze yours are lightweight by being thin....you otta wholesale em out thru the good folks at auntievenom.com

Speak'n of liars...wheres my god-%$#-d feeding trial data?????

whoaaa.... whats this he-ah...

NOPE, no wiffing dope here LOL, actually the stuff has hardly any odor or fume at all, which is surprising but this particular resin is pretty easy to work with all around. Im going to try another mold which has more texture, its harder to pull the cast out if there is too much detail though (cracks, overhangs, etc...). The panels are pretty light at about 3/4" thick and 12"x29" so they will probably go onto the website and become part of the inventory. They are not "cheap" to make though but I spect I could still turn a nickel off of them if I sold enough. They sure make a boring tank look better and they are VERY easy to clean. The rocks in the foreground are made the same way, just tinted a different color. I tried a f/t phylorynchus, but there was no interest at all, the next trial will have to be with a live one I guess (phylo, getulas, or perhaps a changosaurus obesus?)

Hey,
I dig the backdrop. I also keep a lyre (just one for now). Have you seen yours 'take advantage' of it yet? Can I ask about the 'feeding trials' that RR talked about - you know they eat frozen/thawed just fine....ha ha. Well so does my night snake..... And leave those phylos alone - I think they might have to be my next project...
Enjoy,
Peter

Thanks, you should be my first customer! They really do look/feel better than whats available. I doubt the phylos have anything to fear from my trimorphs, they're confirmed rodent processors.
