    yeah i hang all my fixtures. i dont like leaving the house w/ the CHE on yet, cuz mine is still in a 50gal rubbermaid. and the idea of coming back to the house on fire doesnt sound like fun. what are the dimensions of Walter's table? how did you water proof/seal the bottom?

    Mazuri tortoise food?

    ive heard it's ok for certain species like the redfoots that can handle more fruit/sugar maybe it's the protien but ive heard when it comes to russians just stick w/ the variety of greens, some would supplement w/ TNT or some kinda reptile calcium/D3 (mine live indoors mostly). i dont really do...

    breeding russians

    Stuffed Redfoots?

    how come i hear mixed reviews about Mazuri? or is that just in relation to it being used for Russian Torts? Im sure my RT would eat the T-Rex tortoise pellets i got him but ive read it's not good so i was kinda confused on the whole commercial food debate.

    New RT table

    i just scored about Half a fireplace worth of soap stone again from my buddy!! its frozen in the snow but i gotta shovel and a torch haha! theses peices are way to big to put in any rubbermaid tub. they would be perfect for use in an outdoor enclosure, but living in Ak that isnt very likely.

    Cuttle bone from beach

    you could boil it in water for a hour or two. thats what i do w/ drift wood before i use it in my aquariums[hr] and i think what the consensus is that it's not really the same thing. so NO the industry still uses the name cuttle bone but they dont actually come from cuttle fish anymore at least.

    Best UVB bulb to use?

    what i usually do is print off the competitors add and bring it in and try to get them to bargin or price match. i got them to lower the price of my RT i got the other day by $20 not much but it helps * I did a little photo-shopping to cut out all the "online only" stuff.

    designing for two russians(moved)

    one idea you could do if your gonna use the 8"(and it's black ABS) is get a cap to put on on end, they make rubber ones that slip over w/ a metal hose clamp or they make them to be threaded on wich will lessen the diameter of the pipe. unless you go w/ 10" ABS wich even like a 12" piece is gonna...
