Just the frame to go now, and my tank holder will be complete *evil laugh* lol This is where my tanks are now :-) and my baby snails including iradelei, panthera, reti's, dimi's, smithii, margies and fulica all moved into one of these big tanks today, fingers crossed they like it, temporarily of course then we have 2 tigers in another, 5 margies in another and 9 fulica in the other :-)

they were very heavy when i used soley soil, now i have changed to capillary matting with some moss and a pot of soil, so it's fairly easy now.
Would you believe all four tanks cost £100 or £25 each (including lid) sounds pretty good to me, they are from Pets at Home :-)

Lucky you that have a Dad helps you to build the shelves. Look very nice. ;D The price of your tanks are good. I bought these kind of tanks years ago from the garden center for my hamsters / gerbils and one costs nearly £30.00, and they don't have the lid, I have to buy wood and metal wire to DIY. Like your lop ear bunny Jack BTW.

Cool, like the shelves Sarah. I've been trying to find some shelves for my tanks, only problem is that I can’t seem to find any with the measurements I need. I'm thinking that I might as well make some.

most of the babies that have reached 4cm or more are in one of those big tanks together apart from the "rodatzi" and all the tiny fulica who are in smaller tanks. As well as those 4 big glass tanks i have 1 medium and 1 small glass tank and 2 medium and 3 small plastic tanks where all the babies were and are now empty or ready for new arrivals, oh and a medium plastic tank with my millipedes in ;D
