We FINALLY got Squirt officially moved into his new hand-made home after a few set backs! It's 4x8 tort table, lined with glass and sealed with aquarium sealant, has a double sided hinged top and storage underneath! HOLY COW I'm probably more excited than Squirt is! Jimmy did all the work himself and of course I took pics along the way. He has only been in since last night so we are still trying to see how he feels about it (not that he has a choice ) So far today he has done his normal self soaking in his water and ate a few bites of his mazuri snack otherwise he is roaming around like crazy and leaving a trail all around in the coco coir, so I guess that means he's not too upset. Compared to his tank he was in this is definitely a mansion! Here are quite a few pics I took throughout the process and a pic of him today!
Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions or leave any comments! We LOVE TFO feedback!
