Those vents aren't actually blocked by the glass. There's a gap. I run a fogger in there often.

Thank you

The two front doors are each about 28.5 inches tall and 18 inches wide.

The barrier glass I installed at the front of my terrarium has been working well for over two years now. Good luck with your build!

LHC does/did have Aussies. Several people here at the HCA got them from her. I got some from her a year ago. Other people/companies have imported Aussies to the US before her, as well. I know Edis said he got his too but it was over a year after he placed his order that he recieved them. So yes, sh...

If you have minor areas where it's too wet you can get a few of those small, compressed coco fiber bricks that look like hockey pucks. Doing your best to avoid any crabs underground, dig a narrow pit straight down to the bottom glass and insert the pucks in the wet places and fill the holes back in....

No problem with putting the Magnaturals over a heating pad. I've had that arrangement going for quite a while and everything is good.

For Lark's tumor we've tried a few different things to try to keep her comfortable. Now I'm giving her a dose of Celebrex daily. It's helping, but we may need to raise the dosage.

Sorry to hear about Twix's tumor. One of my sugar gliders has a large tumor in her abdomen that we've been treating for a while. Her vet and I decided against surgery so we're managing it with anti-inflammatory and pain medications. It's not fun:(

I love Butler! His face is just the cutest thing ever. Do they have to have crickets as part of a healthy diet? That's what has always deterred me in the past.

My other species were done by early August but my indo just released her eggs about a week ago.

My instinct immediately said rug, but I can't be 100% positive without a good frontal picture. Her anatomy, quality of color, and the look of her under-eye smudges seem more like a rug than an E to me.
