M & M's new digs

[Lori P]

Well, in all the excitement over the tarantula, I forgot to post pics of Miriam and Mordecai's new home. I moved them into a 55 gallon and wow, are they loving it!! They have spent the last couple of days just exploring and climbing, climbing, climbing!!

The decor is still in progress-- needs more climbing branches-- but here it is so far:

wow, that is some setup, hope those two are settling in nicely.

By the way, what will take those water stains off these old tanks?? I've only used soap and water to clean the tanks as I don't want anything that will leave a dangerous residue.

[Serpentine99]

I have the same problem on some of my postaquarium-terrariums, even when using hard chemicals they are still on there, if you do use harmful chemical make sure you give it a good rinsing and leave it out in the sun for a few days to totally get all residue out.

wow, that is one nice setup!

Very nice Lori, it looks great............................:)

[Stefan-A]

Very nice setup, it sure looks great. :)

[adamanteus]

Looking good, Lori!:)

[drache]

nice, Lori

as to the water stain - try lime-off
it's something used in the aquarium trade and it's safe for fish
can't remember who makes it, but drsfostersmith.com carries it

[Snaky]

It's looking very nice :)

[gregmonsta]

[Sid]

Great looking viv, Lori.

[anji1971]

The new house looks great Lori!! And Miriam &Mordecai are really growing up beautifully!:)

[Lori P]

Lime Away-- thanks Rhea, I think I've heard of that. I'll give it a try. :-)

[Sputnik]

Try vinegar, Lori. Rub it on generously, leave it for a bit then rub it off and rinse the whole thing well, before obviously drying all the water off to avoid new stains. :D

[adamanteus]

Really stubborn stains can be removed with lighter petrol (the type you might use in a 'Zippo'), of course it is extremely volatile and soon evaporates leaving no trace at all, and it moves pretty much any stain.:)

[Lori P]

Ok... Lime Away, vinegar, lighter fluid-- (mixing all together vigorously) Might as well give them all a try-- oh, now the lights are out, where's my matches???

[adamanteus]

where's my matches???

Nooooooooooo !:eek:

Ooh, ooh! Give me a bottle! My great grandmother is very annoying.

P.S. Tis won't make any sense if you haven't read 'George's Marvelous Medicine'.

I also re-arranged Curious and Reed's tank. I gave them a "second story", lol. And I found that little green thing at the dollar store, cut holes in both ends and both those silly snakes curl up in there and think I can't see them.

Curious had me a little worried the last 2 weeks; he went on a hunger strike for no apparent reason, but today he ate a pinky and two minnows so he's back. :-)

[GarterGirl]

Cute! I'm glad they're doing well.

[tikichick]

Cool set ups! Very nicely done :)
