Not a dwarf, or anywhere near it, but I figured you all would appreciate the beauty of this species. Is it CBB from Stan Chiras here in the states, hatched out early august of 2005. Pretty good temperment for a Salvadorii as well. Had the camera today while he was out, so decided to snap a couple pictures. Well, enough of my chatter. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

Here is the construction of its new cage. Got all the panels insulated and boarded up. Heres a couple pictures to give you an idea of what Im talking about.

Thanks JStroud. They are an incredible species. Quite enjoyable. But It was hatched out in early august of 05' and its close to 3ft or so. Not sure. Cant exactly get a good measurement. Hahaha. But Its actually a bit small for how old it is, in my opinion. But who knows.

Take care.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. It will be nice once the cage is done. Many, many hours have gone into it. But It will be worth it in the end. Thanks again.

Thank you. I will certain keep you all informed on the cage. The cage itself isnt so much hard to build. Just takes a lot of time and patience. Basically what I did was, build 4 seperate frames with 2x4x8's and "sandwhich insulated" it. Put fiberglass home insulated in between the sheets of plywood. Then cut out a frame for a window and door. And put it all together and add a roof! And of course, seal it all with a gloss/water sealant, electrical work, cage furniture and such. Maybe it is a bit hard to build. Hahaha.

They are magnificent creatures. Im very proud/honored to keep such an animal. I'll keep you guys updated. Cheers.
