Yeah...space is always a problem with this hobby...its either space, time or money...
You could move the colder species outside...and start with these inside :D...

That's why I'm always thinking about that outside enclosure (for my radix.) I just need a bigger house with more spare rooms, or a bigger spare room.

You can bet your life on that, Sjoerd. I just don't know where I'm going to keep it yet!:D

Attic? Cellar? Living room? Maybe you can sleep in the garden and change the rest of the house?

*i know...i know...not being helpfull here...*

The attic is an option. I converted in into a nice room a couple of years ago, and we don't really use it. The ceiling is a bit low though.

Wow, very nice attic ( do you live in an typical old english house? )

I already see two enclosures on the picture :) Darn books that are in the way...
One in the middle on top of the cabinet...
Two on the sides (between the wooden frame)...Like 100 X 50 X 50 cm?

Not really a typical old house. It was built in the 1960s by idiots!
There is certainly space in the eaves, between the beams. Those 'darn' books are a part of my herpetological book collection.... I can't get rid of them!:eek:
reptileparadise
11-03-2007, 02:04 PM
well, okay then...if its herpetological...it can stay!
Yeah, now I see it ...(the red book, it says atlas...I've seen that one before)
adamanteus
11-03-2007, 02:05 PM
The two cupboards are full of books too!
reptileparadise
11-03-2007, 02:08 PM
Okay then...lets leave the cabinet as it is...

On the other hand...If you dont really use the room, there should be something you can to with it...
(by the way...you're fast with replying! uhm...eek! smiley...)

You're right, Sjoerd. I should use the room for more Garters! Please reserve for me (if you haven't already) 1.2 of your 'high-red' parietalis for next year! Thankyou!:D
reptileparadise
11-03-2007, 02:13 PM
Woohoo! You've found the space!
Already had you in mind for parietalis ;) Some atratus to go with them? lol...

Some atratus to go with them? lol...

Will you breed them next year?
reptileparadise
11-03-2007, 02:16 PM
I really hope so!
The male and female are both form 06...so quite young...But you never know what might happen. I'll put them together in spring. If the female isnt ready, nothing will happen (yeah, the male will do his thing, but she wont develop young)
So, fingers crossed!

If you are lucky, and if you have enough, I would like some of those also.:D
