FINALLY! Pictures of Skeeter's enclosure

[skeetersmom]

As promised - pics of Skeeters enclosure. Took some instruction from my son - but I think I have this positing pics down...time will tell

As always - comments are always welcome. Skeeter has now gotten used to aspen bedding - and I really think he likes it better than the shredded paper previously used - which I am thankful for. Thing is, I have to figure out what to do with the paper shredder

That is a very spoiled skink

Wow, very cool. I always like seeing the effort people put into their enclosures. Its obvious you put a lot of thought into Skeeter's

[skeetersmom]

Thanks! His enclosure is changed around every week to keep things "new" for him...keeps him entertained. I don't move around the rocks that are hiding the plastic tube hide - but they are taken out to clean it out, just put back the way they were (for the most part). I am posting other pics in a thread called Skeeter..Skeeter..and more Skeeter

Looks great!

Geez, what are the dimensions on that thing

[Lunaire]

Looking awesome! Skeeter is a cutie too!

Looks awesome! I'm also curious about how big that tank is.

Amazing!!! Such an inspiration for my enclosure :-)
I'm actually in the car driving from the Reptile Expo in White plains, NY where I picked up my 4 foot by 2 foot aquarium for my bluey and these pics got me even more hype to get home & start setting up! Lol
Great job

The enclosure is 6 feet x 18 inches x 18 inches - got it off of craig's list for $50 (needed massive cleaning, and some repair and didn't come with a lid). I do woodworking - so I have a lot of 1/4" plywood around that I cut into 4 pannels; easily removed depending on what area of the tank I want to go to - and cut out two holes. One for UV and the other for night heat.

is that just a little over kill well i guess the bigger the better

[skeetersmom]

Perhaps a bit of an overkill - but all other tanks that were available (really wanted to get him out of the small tank he was in) were not in good shape (massive cracks) and when I put all of his accessories in, it does cut down on the footprint area.

that is a very spoiled skink! looks like you love your BTS

[Rush]

That's awesome. I love the drain plastic...you just gave me a cool idea

thats what type of tube it is thanks

[skeetersmom]

Thanks - yes he is spoiled - and yes I love him very much - as with all my critters (snakes included)

I got the tube at Menards - but I am sure they have them at any hardware store. They are in the plumbing section. It is made out of plastic, and adjusts to different lengths. This method has been talked about in other threads - so I can't take credit for it.

Interesting. Lots of work there!

[skeetersmom]

Perhaps - but when you love what you do - dosen't seem like work. And mostly, I know Skeeter appreciates it

[LarissaLurid]

LOVE the tank!!!!

[Karen]

Yeah I definitely think I should have gone with the ribbed black tubing instead of the smooth PVC. Does Skeeter use it a lot?
