Deansie's garage Atta!

Post by Deansie26 » Tue Jan 03, 2017 11:04 pm

I've had them over 6 months now and there doing well.
Moved them to my cold garage tonight so we'll see how they are in the morning. I'm sure they will be warm enough in their celotex fortress ha ha. Set up is basically a viv connected to fungus unit, ill line the walls with pipe work like I've done previously as its a good way of giving them a long walk in a small space, also it looks great.
Here's a few pics I took during the move.

That's the same tank i had my QEII colony in with plaster of Paris and Perspex lid, works well! That's a nice juicy bit of fungus btw! :)

They are flexible little tanks
