forteh Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) After almost 2 years waiting to get a candoia Ive finally got one, a solomon islands tree boa Picked him up from swansea on friday evening and got back this afternoon having stopped at a friends in west wales. He is now settling in his new viv but got a couple of photos before leaving him alone. To the best of my knowledge, he is approximately 2-3 years old LTC.

Tom Booth Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Cheers man, yeah I've got adds on preloved, shelled warriors, rfuk an gumtree. I did have listings on ebay too, but the fees on there make it not such a viable way of selling them, well, with the profit I make on them. Generally I make them for something to do, an to try out ideas an stuff. I don't make a massive profit on them at all, just cover materials then its just money for stuff like nutrabol an bulbs etc to keep my torts sorted an kitted up. Got a few more ideas for tables to come yet. Fancy trying my hand at some creative vivs next, but I doubt I'll be able to make them anywhere near cheap enough to rival anybody like Vivexotic etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Nothing major really, just wanted to get a bump in here, did I see your FBM tee at the doncaster show Ed? Built this today for a lady in Bedford. Challenge of making it tall enough to keep her 18 month old son away from the bulb, with a 2ft space between the tables for height adjustments on the bulb, but keeping the whole thing low down as the lady in question is only 5'2" has been interesting but simple enough. Pretty chuffed with it up to yet, another coat of lacquer for it all tomorrow an seal all the joints up with some water based sealer an it's ready to go. Tables are 4x4, both for a MVB bulb. Tables are really picking up now, it's getting abit too much at the minute! Especially when I get a one off instead of a set 4x2 or something. Next on the build sheet is a solid oak TV cabinet/tort table/mansion!!! The buyer couldn't decide on the best place for it an at the same time wants a new TV stand, so why not combine the two?? Ha. Looking foward to that one, tables a monster coming in at 6x2, with a foot wide 'balcony' type arrangement with a ramp up to it. Should be a fun build!!

Pashley26 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Tarquin - He's my AWESOME Lovebird, had him for almost 18 months now. Got him when he looked like this at 4 weeks old - He is so cool, literally couldn't live without him. He's got such a personality, because he's always been in our life and we've always had him do everything we do he is a bit weird. It's normal for him to get out of his cage in the morning and come up to bed with us for a cuddle, and then come in the shower with me and stuff. He just lives a life like a human. Julian - He's just a bunny, but he's pretty cool and he is kinda like a cat but a bit scared of things that move quickly. Dyson - He's my girlfriends Jack, I hate 99% of dogs and every Jack Russell. However, Dyson is potentially the best dog in the world EVER. He loves rocks...And cheese. Edited October 3, 2011 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I was probably going to asda to retrieve cash as people were coming in. Was on the table selling live plants for most of the day though. Cresties are great, think weve only got about 26 of em now though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Ha, 26. Are they what you've bred or your own? I really wanted the trio of pancake torts that were for sale, but my missus doesn't like them, they freak her out abit, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Ha, 26. Are they what you've bred or your own? We did have more, weve rehomed 4 in the last 6 months! Weve got 3 holdbacks that we bred, the rest are all either pets or planned for future breeding projects. Not had any joy with crestie breeding this year, all of the eggs have been dud and we almost lost one of the females! We also lost one of our oldest females earlier in the year, she had never been near a male but laid a huge infertile egg (almost the size of her head), dropped her tail and she died about 30 minutes later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwarf Shortage Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 He's not sure on dimensions yet, he's got a corn snake already and wants a boa. He's going to get some measurements and let me know, Cheers Tom, I'll let you both know as soon as I find out what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just be sure though tom if you carry out a viv build for Humidity loving reptiles to seal with an epoxy resin or a yatch varnish and allow to cure for several weeks.....

Tom Booth Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Already ontop of that Dave, built a viv for terrapins (??) A week or so ago. Was water tight an proof, lol. Edit- Just noticed you said 'both'. I didn't see Adams post, give Adam first refusal on the build with him getting in there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
