[thenicewitch]

Love the idea with the doors.

 

[caustichumor]

Looks great, (and it might even comply with any new DECC enclosure guidelines ;-) ) It's always good to see such thought put into the animals needs ...

The pit looks amazing Fay,well done.At what price roughly did the lot cost you.Also what will you be keeping in there..

 

[FAY]

We built this a few years ago now and cannot remember the total cost.
We keep EWD's, Barbata, Eastern blueys, short and long neck turtles and cunninghams in there.

 

[gecko-mad]

you put all those in there and they live together happily?

grrr. On my phone. Can't see it till i get home to the laptop.

 

[FAY]

Thought I would put this as a 'sticky' as it may give some people good ideas on building one.

 

[TWENTY B]

interested in seeing how the plants have grown in.

Pits

95% finished, first attempt at pits, pretty happy.

Don't forget to check your local pool fencing regulations as in some areas ponds deeper than 300mm are considered a drowning risk and you are legal obliged to treat them as such.

you wouldnt want to get stolen would you no one would dare take a tiger in the midde of night

 

[contos]

if you have a pit in a shady area can you just use artificial heating?

 

[wiz-fiz]

i dont get the thing with the rat proofing, how does it work and do u lay the ird wire in first and then the pebbles over it, or the pebbles under it? thanks for sharing this with us fay, really appreciate it.

[FAY]

Yes, Wil.
You dig a trench....lay bird wire and then pebbles.
You also need that for drainage.
You don't want to have a downpour and your pit floods.
