Yay - Mine is shipping tomorrow as well. The only problem is that the Tegu shipped faster than the lexan for my cage doors - Not entirely sure how to handle that :)

When I first got George, a adult B&W, he was a rescue so I wasn't ready with a cage so he spend 2 weeks living in the bathroom. So really started to enjoy 10-15 minute showers...

I just got back from picking up everything for my new baby that will be here tomorrow. I got him a 40gl breeder aquarium to start about 6in(low side) 8in(high side) of cypress. I also got a combo Deep dome lamp with two 100 watt bulbs one UVA/UVB Powersun and one infrared 100 watt zoo med heat lamp. I also picked some hollow logs and flats to build cave and deep hides along with a half log for warm side hide. grabbed some moss for decor and a little plastic plant. this should set him up for his first 8months to a year. I'd love to post picks but not sure how. so here is some links to photobucket.com where you can see his setup and some of my aquarium shots.

Picking up digital temp/humidity read tomorrow along with a EXO-Terra Monsoon high pressure rainfall.


You guys let me know if I'm missing anything!!

I'm using a clear storage tub for now. I am not finished the 6x3 temp cage yet. It will be solid wood/plywood on the bottom 2ft and coated wire mesh on the top 2ft. It will have ramps and shelves up to the wire part much like in small animal cages. the top 2ft will be removable so that it will fit through a doorway. 8x12 outdoor habitat to be built in the spring. Pictures will be posted.


Not sure with shipping. No tracking #. Well, I'll be home anyway. Maybe Bobby had too many to get to everyone. I'll just hope for the best.

Sound good, I will be geting a 8ft cage built by monster cages once he is bigger, I herd they spook easier in larger cages as babies, not sure how true that is but I've read that a few times when surfing the forums. Your inclosure sounds awesome, cant wait to see pics. We should all post pics of our new extremes once they get here.

The shelves go up to the wire section so they can have more basking area. Build your own cage, all you need is a circular saw and a miter box/saw. I will be painting the whole thing with porch and deck latex paint. many wooden boat builders use that stuff and their boats are exposed to weather and salt water.

Post office called me at work to let me know he was here - many speed limits were broken :D

Can't believe how awesomely calm this guy is - ate a huge plate of eggs and is now basking in his temp cage.

So.... Who has paid the second half of their extreme deposit and not received a call? I'm getting really anxious here!

I think we may be getting ours from the second clutch that hatched. A week or two left to wait I think.

Aaah, the wait is killing me! When did you put down your deposit, Agv?
