Vivarium & egg-laying shots

[Dooley1]

Here are some shots of some of my vivariums...

And because I am often asked how I nest my carpets...

Here is one of my girls nesting today-laying 4th generation eggs...It is the girl in the back



Digging...




The final number was 17 eggs. I generally use a 40 watt bulb over the laying bin just as i do on the cage...however, a 60 watt will work too over one corner of the bucket.

I want a carpet so bad. It almost hurts. I love all the pics.

You do live in PA, talk to Kevin, do you live near him?

Kevin I now see why it took bloodly well forever for you to get all your viv's ready. Those are works of art. Reallynlook nice.

Very impressive. What kid of soil is that in the bucket? It doesn't look like sand.

It is actually just a mix of sand and soil. It is about half and half.

You did a great job with those. Can I also ask where you found the cork sheets. I have looked for then but have been unable to find a source.

They are somewhat expensive and harder to find than I had hoped. A.C. Moore carries them and Hobby Lobby as well...but not Michael's in my area at least. Unfortunately, neither store carried more than 1 package at a time and I had to buy them online at Hobby Lobby's website.

Here's the link:

I tried to find them first on Amazon or eBay but didn't find a better price anywhere.

All you have to do is use silicone sealant in a caulking gun to stick them up.

I've been using them the last 2 years. If anything I think they are easier.

Thanks Jann,

It was 16F this morning and I hate this frigid weather so it's nice to have a bit of the tropics inside. That is this girl's second clutch. I don't usually watch them but found it funny that she dug a sizeable hole and then laid the eggs halfway up the tunnel instead of the bottom of it.

Very nice vivs and great pics of your female laying. Carpets are really cool chams. I love how they colors up like a million jewels are bedazzled on to their body. Great job!!!!
