12x12x18 Terrarium panels are done! I think these turned out great and are an easy way to fill out lots of enclosures quickly! These were fun to make and hopefully someones lucky animals will get to enjoy these soon! Maybe will let me help with their next project 😉

Got in to take care of anubis and he was excited to come out, so we went outside for some sun, but that didnt go so well either lol will have to get a little leash for him soon and start getting him trained!

New enclosure for a baby monkey tail skink! I think it came out pretty well. This will only be a temporary home for her, but something else will get moved in here once shes bigger. Now I just have to add the plants and she will love it!

Getting there slowly but surely, 1 half of the bottom done, this will be a part of the rock texturing, and then above it will be an earthy plant textured area. I think haggrid will love it!

Ran out of materials, but got the most of it finished. Haggrid is one lucky dragon! Cant wait until its finished, to see what it becomes. Stay tuned! Im debating between a harry potter theme, or a more naturalistic theme. What do you guys think? Let me know!

Photo Op, looked so good I had to take a shot

Decided to go with a more durable and larger pond resevoir, this will give me enough room to set the pump in and not have to worry about the water level as often, and it will give annubis more room to bathe! He shows an interest in climbing, so I figured Id see if he will make sure of the added height and branches. Stay tuned for more!

They love each other... hopefully anubis remembers how nice haggrid was to him when he grows up hahaha 🤣
