Dragons current viv


Stack


dragons new home in the stack (when the smell goes)




Gecko's part of the stack (more hides now he's moved in)


Royal is going to go in the other half of the stack when it's big enough but in a tank at the minute. Prefers hiding behind the exo terra background or at the top than in the cool hide so i put a bigger water bowl in


Left over wood from the stack.

knocked it together on Sunday cos i was bored,

somebody might do, pretty sure i've seen somebody on this forum or another who's doing the exact thing.

They've not hard to build though, the white one was my first attempt at anything like it and i had no plans to work from.
