I am ... very happy with your plans, the organization that you have put into it and I am extremely happy with the response I have gotten from you when I have encountered a problem.
It sure does save money. At the same time it allows me and others like me to experience making the cage for our animal (animals) that we care so much about. I think that when someone takes the time to sit down and make something like this for their animal it really shows how much they care for them and respect them.

With your plans you can also alter the cage to each and everyone's specifications, or needs. I think what you are doing is wonderful and I want to thank you again.

Sincerely
Robert Hansford

 


"This is going to make an 11 year old and his lizard Rex very happy".

 

Spent $108.00 at Lowes, another $65.00 at Home Depot buying things that Lowes didn't have..... Spending time with my son in a hardware store.... PRICELESS!"

 


"Overall, the best thing I have found from the cage designs... is that:
They work!!!!

They allow you to view and touch your Iguana from all sides, This is a must!

Once you have the material list you don't go back to the hardware store.

Just follow the instructions and it comes out perfect.

Your maintenance will be much easier.

Your iguana will thank you

Once again, you will have built something cool. "

Regards and best to all our Green Iguana friends, Lance and Joey Portwood Glidden, Texas ".

 


"Very well thought-out designs"

 

 

A short sticky tale

Dear Reptile Lovers,

My son Ryan received his first snake for his 13th birthday. It's a spotted python.

My hubby made him an enclosure for the snake,not really knowing much about them,he use duct tape to tape down the sides of a piece of board to the side of the tank where the had the heat lamp in.

The next morning my son's poor baby snake(only 8 weeks old at the time)got seriously stuck to it.

The heat from the heat lamp must of made it soft and the little snake wrapped himself around it well.

Not knowing what to do, we tried to soak it in warm water, but didn't help.We finally got in contact with a vet that specialises in snakes 40 mins away.

They said that well have to put him under ,to try to remove the tape using a solution,not knowing whether he was going to make it or not.

My son come home from school, devastated to find that he's loving pet was in surgery.
That late afternoon the vet rang and said he was doing fine, just really sore, he's muscles are very bruised from him trying to free himself and his skin is very dry from the solution they used.

When we brought him home he was so stressed he wouldn't eat in awhile ,but now he's 5mths old,growing and very strong.

My sons happy and so is Ziggy the snake.

We will never use duct tape around him again.

Yours Truly
Donna
