 |
|
Had an absolutely fantastic pair of adult Argus dropped off this morning.
Some of you may recognize them as they have come from Carl (lophius)
The male is absolutely huge! Around 5.5' and built like a bull dog 
He is housed in my 12x8x5 viv that my albigs were in and they have been moved to a slightly smaller 10x8x4 viv.
Here they are!
Enjoy!
Rick
Male Argus
Female Argus
Black throats in there new home.

Hahahaha, I was very careful to spec it up right. The bottom viv is constructed out of 6x2' timber and mounted on a 6x2 timber lintel that is bolted to the wall. It is basically as strong as the roof on a house (if not a bit more ) and will easily take the weight. I will get some pics later.

if they are built on top of one another, how do you see inside both of them
