Frank's Thread

Haha-honestly I think the only ones that MAY hatch are the ones laid by the female I gave to you-and that's only 5 eggs. I think the other female's eggs are too "iffy" looking. I guess we can only wait and see.

Everything is so beautiful!!
Questions...how did you make those drippers in your multicage setup?

Thanks!

They are actually clay flowerpots drilled out through the bottom with MistKing misting nozzles insereted inside. These just sit on top of the cage screen and it provides a "rain" in the center of the cage. Check out my build thread on that system.

Had a couple of the Abronia out in the sun this week. Here is a beautiful male of the blue eyed form with blue lips scales too.



Here you can see the difference in color that sometimes occurs among individuals.

Young Acanthosaura capra, just starting to grow it's horns and show it's color. He usually has more green but is angry because I moved him to take a pic.

This past week I repainted, rearranged, and otherwise refurbished my lizard room. Much better.







These cages come from PMHerps. Absolute best cages to buy IMO!



Just a few recent pics of two of the inhabitants.

Thanks! Only one of the three made it through diapause. In theory only one month. Keeping my fingers crossed it is actually fertile.
