here is my little male...snuggled up for the night..just getting drowsy mode..
and his girlfriend......

Will do Brad..i mean..in all honesty. of course any natural tree branch is going to be better in reality than anything us mere mortals can come up with on an aesthetic basis (jeez..swallowed a dictionary) but i figure that maybe..just maybe..if this works...and looks good as well as being...
Hi Nick..yes Kevin posted me on that on another thread . when i was considering using hose of some form..however, the reason im considering thiis as a possible option is that the piping is available in varying diameter offering a good option for variable diameter branching...if it works of...
Thanks for that heads up....right now to find a suitable grippy waterproof alternative:) ...i wonder if a spray waterproofing treatment as used on outdoor wear might resolve that issue..
Whilst awaiting the next stage of my Mellers unit build...ie awaiting another delivery of lighting/heating/mesh/acrylic sheet/ etc etc..my mind set to thinking about what to use for"branches"...mainly to form a variety of highways across the full 9ft length, but also on varying levels and of...
Few recent pics of my pair of Oustellets...both feeding like crazy on young locusts..

and not forgetting his future....love interest!!:rolleyes:
Another day....and the cross members are in and the roof supports..
Now there will be a delay whilst i await the meshing. light fittings and th floor cover...oh and the back panels...:rolleyes:
Well..it all started today...get ready for 12 weeks of ongoing chaos...the day started well, with the timber delivery arriving early...
A big pile of wood..that had to be turned into the 9ftx 8ft x 34" framework
After a short while..i realised that this was going to take more than...
:D Kevin...I HATE YOU!! :) DONT SAY THAT! ..YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY..." DAMN WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT...YOU ENGLISH GUYS ARE GOING TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL FUTURE CHAM CARE CONCEPTS!:D:D
Actually...i sooo knew you would yet again show me up to be the bumbling fool that i am:)
Oh and...
Still searching out stuff for "branches"..its part of the fun of creating a new unit...you know..i had a STRANNNNNNGE idea the other night..just me doing my "what if?" scenarios..let me throw this ball in the air for you..
a lot of people use commercially available "vines" ..you know the...
Thanks Laurie..his horn..got err "shortened" some time back due to an injury when in an intermediiate changeover cage. prior to moving to the one he has been housed in now....lets just say....if id had been his owner then it wouldnt have happened!:mad:
Anyhoo old injury..i think the best way...
OK Guys just mulling over some ideas here, and your input..(as always) is welcome..im starting on the frame build on Monday for the new Mellers unit and i`m just throwing a few ideas in the air...the first is in regards the drainage floor area..the floor of the unit will ne a raised affair...
Got sent another pic today of one of my new Mellers..the male i think..im going to drive down to them next week to take more pics..in the meantime the new unit is being started on Monday...so get set for pics!:)
Thanks Brad...what is a bit weird is that the 2 adult mellors im getting are 07 babies..and apparently in their entire time of growth to adulthood i have been told by the original owner that they have never shown any interest in eating any of the plants they have been housed with..including...
Now I know there is a long list of acceptable plants...........i know...i mean ..i know!..but you know when you just want to make sure?:)
so at the moment im buying in lots of various plants for use in my new Mellers enclosure. so on that basis...are any of the following definate NO NO`s...
