Gertie's Gravid!

[adamanteus]

I have just one in each viv. At the warm end.

[Garter_Gertie]

Gotcha! Thanks!

Can I tell you? There's a possibility the boys will be here THIS SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adamanteus]

I hope you have your camera ready, Gertie!

[Garter_Gertie]

James, you're as bad as Lori! I don't have a camera yet.

But after the boys settle in I'll be taking them to the park on Sundays and they'll take pics for me - the park staff, not the boys. You'll get to see Winnie, too!

Forgot the VERY thing I went to WalMart for - garbage bags! But I did get a digital thermometer for $6.50/+tax. I can clip it, magnent it to something metal, or do a little easel-like stand thingy. It also tells the humidity. Even has CENTIGRADE and I'll be able to talk 'European'!!! Currently ittiz 25.9 degrees centigrade in this office. Yes. I'm sweating like a pig! I also got a scansifera (spelling!), Mother-In-Law plant.

Got a bluebird house at Petco, as well as the Flookers (?) scratchy fake vine for the pothos, and this backing stuff that's like growing medium that plants can attach to. You put it on the inside of the tank. It's similiar to those black, square poles philodendrons are trained up. It was originally priced at $35.00 for the back of a 10 gal, but I got it for $5.00 with my Petco card!!!!!!!!!! Actually I think there's enough in there to do the 20 I've got!

Now if it would just get around to be quitting time so I can go home and play with The Boys tank.

Realized Friday's the 4th o'July. So no Boys THIS Saturday. We're now shooting for Saturday the 12th. Dang it! I WANT MY BOYS!!!!!!!!!

Otay. The background - didn't like it. Too dark. May use in the 90 gal in some way.

Don't like tank on computer desk. Can't get a good view of it - the tank. So put it back in the living room.

Birdhouse in and looks DARLING! Had to take out one log hide to get it in but that's okay. I needed the height anyway. Vine comes out of the rock area (left); goes behind and then around the birdhouse coming out the back again; down close to the swimming pool and ends up over in the mopani wood. Even fake and not having anything growing on it yet, it looks super good!

Temp in the warm area WITHOUT heating pad on 86 degrees. So I've turned the heat pad on and am doing a dry run to see what all's going to be happening here. Have the basking light on but it's one of those curly bulbs and isn't putting out much heat at all. I'm hoping it will be cool enough I can have the light on so I can see The Boys.

I'm so excited!

[Garter_Gertie]

Otay. Ittiz 92.5 at the end with the heat pad. I've moved the therometer to the other end - with the basking light off - to see what the temp is there. It's 10:28 PM here so I'm guessing the tmep down there is going to be about +/- 80 or so. This, again, will be w/o the basking lamp.

Got two pots of the Mother-In-Laws Tongue in.

We'll see what we see.
