shelf

this is what I've been working on:
shelving for 3'x18" and 30"x13" tanks next to each other
they're anchored into the wall
it was a hellish job because everything is warped - the walls, the floor, the boards I had, and the brackets
and the wall is plaster and lathe with unevenly spaced studs and patches of brick
but now the condos are almost ready for moving in

yes, I'm still puzzling over who'll get to move in where
the sliding door cages need a security make-over too
does anyone here have a good tip about stuffing the rail grooves?
the doors on the 36"x18" are hung, so there's space underneath the door in the rail
one of these is going to have my red-spot escape artist along with my other girls, and I don't want her leading them to freedom
I've already decided to put anything smaller than adult females into regular tanks
I don't want to loose any more snakes

Re: shelf

the tanks are empty, because there was no space to set them up until he shelf was done
they've been sitting around stacked up for a few weeks, awaiting their inhabitants
today is going to be moving day for a few critters
