I’ve been doing a lot of vivarium work – I plan on posting construction details within a month.

The cookout afterward was killer and I’m not particularly sore today. Win! Poor SportsDoc – his room is moved, but now he needs to organize/unpack/stow – our guesstimate was 20-30 manhours of fun.
Update – forgot to embed this short video of NH’s State Bird – the Black Fly. ‘Tis the season!
Info on an small upgrade I did on the vivaria’s sumps can be found here.
