My very own Ackie thread!

[Geoey]

nice accies you just helped me make my mind up about what is going in my spare enclosure.

Took these pics the other day. I had to clean the tank so it was bath time.

This was only the 3rd time I've ever held them but they are still super chill around me.

Back in their enclosure.

"Buzz off man, I'm trying to sleep".

Stunning and the enclosure looks like piece of nature.

How big do they get?

Did you make the rear wall in the tank?

Thanks Louie. These guys get about 18-24", sometimes more. Yes, I made the wall in the background out of Great Stuff spray foam, foam board and then coated it with tile grout. I'm planning on building my ackies a new custom cage within the next month. It will have a similar backgound but on a larger scale.

they look sweet! If you did want to add to the pair and have a bigger group... could you do it? I know people like to raise them up as young uns together...

That's a good question. I'm not really sure how that would go. Perhaps Alex could answer that.

With a set up like that its a shame to let it go to waste . Imagine your using it for something else?

That wall adds a lot to that look . Its like a zoo look.

You sprayed great stuff directly to rear glass than coated it before it dried?

Thanks, I was going for a whole natural look. That's how I try to design all my enclosures. I think plain tanks are boring and the inhabitants probably agree with me.

Well I haven't decided what I will do with the tank. Technically the tank it's self is not mine, my friend let me borrow it because he didn't have a use for it at the time. But he said he wants it back when I'm done with it. I think he wants to stuff it full of Viper Geckos.

I originally designed it for my trio of leopard geckos. They have since been moved to another tank. Here's the build thread on how I made the fake wall.
