Today's addition to the family

[lauwersp]

Ugh... rascally cats... Almost lost the snake this morning... not from being eaten... my guess is he would scare the beejeezus out of the cats as he's quite aggressive, but ONE of them hopped on the homemade lid of the tank ripped the mesh.

They are both spending the day in jail.

At any rate, snake was still there and the lid is repaired. It's actually a custom piece that my girlfriend made (she owns half of a high end blacksmithy (designsiniron.com). She crafted the frame (which is gorgeous) and I cut and siliconed the mesh to it (which is less gorgeous). I'll have to use a LITTLE more mesh and find a sturdier way to affix it.

I'll take some pics of the lid... it's painted with a metallic dark, dark grey with a whiff of metallic bronze applied at the very end.

I'm designing a modular, multi-level tank design that she's willing to craft. It should be SPECTACULAR... I just need to get around to it. So much to do... so little time.
