Another side project underway… apparently I’m becoming well known for starting projects and never finding the time to finish them Or even better getting told off by my dad for borrowing his tools and not putting them back. I’m pretty sure he’d be turning in his grave, yelling at me to actually finish this one—and to put his tools away 😂😅
About 12 months ago I decided to sell a large portion of my collection. It was getting a bit overwhelming and I needed a breather, which I think we all go through from time to time. Part of that decision also came from a big idea I had to start fresh, build new enclosures, and really see what I could create—hopefully turning it into something more down the track.
This bank is just the beginning and was mainly a trial to see what I could do. These four enclosures will eventually form part of a five-bank setup for my Blueys. Everything was built by me, using PVC to make them waterproof, lightweight, easy to clean, and well insulated.
Each enclosure will be fitted with Arcadia Reptile heating and LumenIZE lighting.
A massive thank you to Jack as well for letting me steal a photo of the Kimberley Northern Blue-tongue habitat for the backdrop. I’ve got another five-bank in the works that will feature a different image—the plan is for every bank to have its own unique background. The images are printed on 3 mm foam board, making them super easy to install (yet another side project I’ve been chipping away at).
The long-term goal is a full room of enclosures in different sizes, with varied backdrops and naturalistic setups. I’m really keen to see how it all comes together. For now though, it’s back on the tools so I can actually get these finished—before keeps yelling at me for taking too long while he generously looks after my Blueys 😂 Thanks mate!
