Azure's New Digs!

Hey everyone!


So as a few of you may remember, I recently got a blue tongued skink -- who BALLOONED in a few short weeks, by the way. All summer I've been working on fixing up an old, yucky PVC tank that I got for cheap. I wasn't sure if DIY was the right section for this, but seeing as I feel I put a lot of work into it, I guess I consider if a do-it-yourself thing :P
It couldn't come at a better time than now, one week after we moved into a new apartment, and just as Azure has certainly outgrown her 15gal starter. ;)


Well!
After completely cleaning the insides, adding a new acrylic front, new hinges and clasps, cutting apart the top and siliconing a (partial) wire screen top, drilling air holes (because who doesn't have air holes in their used tank already!?) and adding LEDs, we finally have our finished product.....................................

Pretty proud, if I do say so myself!


I couldn't have done it without the wonderful support and effort put forth by my amazing partner. I must admit, he was the one who did the cutting and drilling of the operation, seeing as he does that kind of stuff for a living.


I am currently waiting for Facebook to cooperate so I can show you Azure's initial (and slightly unexpected) reaction of her new tank! It's about a 10 second video but probably sums up BTS fairly well.... :D




Thanks for looking! And I'll reply with the video ASAP.

Looks awesome!! I'm sure she will love having all that space!

Le video, as promised. *Crossing fingers that it works!*
