Would it be awful of me to delay Lily's upgrade and give it to this boy instead? It'd probably be pretty awful of me. 
I already know where you stand, temptress!
Lily needs a friend that she will never want to see lolI already know where you stand, temptress!
Jeremy, coming at me with the responsible questions!
Pretty Boy's sire is a Nosy Mitsio, dam is a Nosy Faly/Ambilobe X. I'd need to check his lineage, as I can't find that post now that I'm looking for it. Stupid phone.
Lily's currently in a Med ReptiBreeze (so, 16x16x30). The bio viv I'm working on (which would become Boy's, if I got him) is an XL/X-tall Exo terra glass, which is 36x18x36. If Lily stayed in her current enclosure, I'd revamp it and add a planter box underneath the viv to add little extra height/hold bioactive substrate/act as a permanent lay box.
I'm pretty sure I'm trying overly hard to rationalize it, but Lily's healthy and doing great in her enclosure, and I don't think it'd hurt her to stay there at least a little while longer... thoughts? She's a petite lady, and not much bigger than that 4 month old to begin with.
@GoodKarma19 I dont mind being that one voice of reason in this onslaught of pressure... What would Lily want you to do?
Chances are she won't get more than the occasional glimpse of the boy! I highly doubt breeding is in my future, though adding more ambilobe to the mix could be an interesting experiment... No! Bad Amanda! No breeding! Yes, if something awful happened and they were both sick, I could make it work. Granted, i also work at a veterinary clinic and can carry an almost indefinite "tab"! Might be tougher to swing when I go back to school and have my fulltime benefits revoked, but I'm not terribly concerned. I always have an emergency animal fund to dip into, just in case! Two chams isn't all that much more expensive than 1 at least, initial set up aside. I'm going to shoot the breeder a message tomorrow and get more info, see if I can possibly come and visit. Conveniently, I'm down that way this weekend!
You're as bad as JoX - and here Iwas thinking you were going to be the reasonable one! ...after Jellybean, i guess I should have expected this!
I feel like Lily reaaaaally won't care as long as I continue to cater to her every need and bring her in the sunshine haha!
A very reasonable point of view - thanks for bringing it up!
.... Y'all were supposed to be the voice of reason. Guess this is what I get for asking a bunch of addicts!
Do it. I am sure you could find a used cham kit cage for cheap on craigslist, and make her home a double wide.

Yep, and building the bio planter box you're planning 16" bigger won't take that much more. Always trying to look out for my fellow addicts when I can.Ooh - smart!! Yes, I could easily do that! I'll keep my eyes open for another cham kit. I'm sure I could lash them together with minimal effort!!
Too funny....Perfect! A double wide, great for making baby chams, especially in the south...

poor white trash Lily... I mean, look at that handsome little face! Give him a year, and he's sure to be a stunner!! Watching him grow would be incredible!Yep, and building the bio planter box you're planning 16" bigger won't take that much more. Always trying to look out for my fellow addicts when I can.
Can't believe it never occurred me! Thank you so much for pointing out the obvious!!
I was working on a bio planter this afternoon for my guys upgrade, and my insomniac brain can't let it go
How's your other build coming along BTY?
I'll probably be updating my build thread within the next couple days, though I'll be gone all weekend and won't be able to work on it more. 6 cans of Great Stuff and counting, haha! I think I have another 2 to go before the end. This works out well, really. Lily can have the coffee plants and schefflera as her big tree type plants, and Boy can have the hibiscus. I even have exactly two different species of isopods in separate cultures, one for each enclosure! Get everything all in place, seal up two sides with some of that clear shrink wrap stuff for windows... bam! All nice for Lily! 'Course, with the limited space I have right now, I'm going to have to move her on the opposite side ofthe room from Boy... so they can't share a mister or fogger. Guess I'm getting another system at some point, haha! Summer projeccccttttts!
