New Enclosures

Postby Jeff » Mon Sep 30, 2013 1:59 pm

Well it seems like everyone is getting new enclosures lately. I have been working on some of my own, and I am finally almost done. The ligths are reflecting kind of funny in these pictures making it look like there are mirrors involved, but there arent. I just need to go pick up the last 24 pieces of glass and do a little touch up work and I will have 36 new enclosures!

Wow-- those are beautiful! The nice finish on them reminds me of those old-fashioned bookcases that have the glass door fronts. Can't beat a bookcase full of skinks!!

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a couch in your reptile room.... one big enough to sleep on...

True story. My mother-in-law has been living in this room for the last 2 years. Two months ago, she went insane (not really, she's been insane for quite awhile) and decided to move out. Even though there is no possible way that she can live on her own, my wife is so determined that she never lives with us again that she decided that letting me have this room for my skinks the lesser of two evils!

All I can really say is, SCORE!!!!!!

Great looking setup and very well made Jeff.

Looks very nice Jeff. Can't wait to see the final product. You should do a video once they're all finished and the skinks are moved in

Color me impressed! That's an enviable set up (to go with your enviable collection of skinks, of course).

I withhold comment on the subject of spousal discontent. Just know that I have some pretty expensive pythons...
