UK Butterfly Centre: New Exhibition Display unit.

Post your builds, private or commercial set ups. This is where we will document the creation of housing or the planning and construction of projects from scratch. This differs from the Journal Section because this section does not concentrate on the Ants or the other animals that are being kept, this section focuses on the progress of the build.

UK Butterfly Centre: New Exhibition Display unit.

Post by Acromyrmexbob » Sat Aug 27, 2016 4:50 pm

We just completed a new multi tank display unit for a UK butterfly centre. All I have done here is list the pictures I took on completion with my phone. The Aztec rock work is coming on. Every time we do this it gets better!

Inmates planned will be tree Boas, various amphibians and lizards. Let me know what you think.

So just how compatible are other inmates ? , unless there is a lot of distance between them or they don't suffer from bites it could get uncomfortable.

All of the windows you see in the photos are separated by internal walls forming many distinct enclosures. So no problems with compatibility.

Really? Typical, when I leave thecountry, they finally get the ants back on display. Do you have any pictures of the setup?

We should do your house. And dress your wife up as a high priestess. And sacrifice someone! My vote is Marco.
