The Lepoards Cleopatra & Marc Antony come home

[brutus]

Went to the repticon on saturday to get some heat lamps for my big sulcatas. Oops I found this pair of Lepoards . It was too late the wife couldnt change my mind. Cash in hand I walked out with a breeding pair. 10 hours of labor to build another dividing fence, hot house, and to dig out the 16 x 4 foot run. Add rocks and gravel its done!
Cleopatra and Marc Antony have a new home.

Introducing Marc Antony
8" length about 4 lbs 6 years old

Its a high fiber hay mix of timothy ,oat, and alfalfa. I use it as a treat for my sucatas. when the grass and weeds come back in they will have their freerange choice.

They look great! Just out of curiousity, what are the dimensions of their run/hide? Thanks!

4 feet wide x 16 feet long (only about 64 sq ft )
the hide is 4'x3' and 3' high
I just cut the quickest slice off my 30 Y.O. (100lb) sulcatas 70'x 30' area
with the 16' of run they have space to get away from each other so it might be enough space, if not Ill steal some more of caesar area.
