Bartman, I know how it is to have to sell your herps... ours were getting too expensive also. I had about 10 different herps and had to get rid of 9! Now I am only allowed to have one at any given time, unless I pay for everything myself... so just stick with what you have til you move out and have your own place, then you'll see why your dad doesn't want you having that many herps... it is very expensive.

Bartman, are you sure your beardeds don't have coccidia? Most dragons have a small odour to their fecus when they first go but it doesn't stay in the air long and it shouldn't be a vile stench. If they are stinkie all the time I would get a fecal done, coccidia is very common in Beardeds. Is their fecus runny?

Great cage! Let us know what you decide to put in it! I think a medium to large snake would love a home like that! Good luck with it.

I guess a fecal is in need. They dont usually take runny stools, only once in maybe 2 weeks, but it does happen. Ill get it checked out asap.

Anyone have that link for the site to find close, good, herp vets?

Thanks!

That's an alright score! Free stuff is the best stuff... lol As for finishing, epxoy is the way to go for durability. You won't need to be refinishing it from time to time and it can hold water (they use it for pools, food surfaces, ponds, etc.), as well as it doesn't offgas once cured. The kind I use is super easy to work with and usually only needs a single coat. It can hold water after 72 hours and is fully cured in 5 days. I suggest going down to a place that specializes in protective coatings. Hardware stores don't usually carry much more than urethanes and garage floor paint- type of stuff.

I am thinking of putting a boa into it, as long as I can get it secure enough (just don't want an injured snake nor any other dead/injured critters)
