Hello everyone. Just adopted a Marginated

[Legmaker72]

Just introducing myself to the forum. I just adopted a 6 year old Marginated.
Look forward to reading and continue learning as much as I can from all of you.
The process has started this weekend of fabricating a indoor wooden habitat.
I will post up some photos as the process moves along.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

Thanks. I've been reading as much as I can about her care as I can.
She's doing pretty well from what I can tell and I'm adopting her from my brother who is very knowledgable in caring/ breeding of many various type of reptiles.

Hi and welcome!
Lots to learn and this is the best place to learn it so read, search and ask as many questions as you need.
There's usually someone around to help point you in the right direction.
Merry Christmas to you too!
