Sweet!!!

Christmas 2002 brings a custom-built habitat to Zach's Lizardland!
Mom was the designer. She knows what a lizard needs. Way cool. :) T
Mom and Grandpa were the carpenters. They built this in a spare bedroom at my Grandparents house. It was a TOTAL surprise to me!
Christmas Eve I was presented with my NEW Lizardland! I love these people.
My Parents and Grandparents are pretty cool people. They knew I was real unhappy about the confined living space I had for my lizards.  Buddy had seriously outgrown his 65 gallon tank, and Cola, my Spiny Tail Iguana, could hardly turn around anymore in his tank.  So....since larger tanks for both lizards was not a financial option, my creative family turned a computer desk into a customized home designed to fit the specific needs of BOTH my lizards!!   Mom was the designer, she put this together in her head and had help from Eddie D., a student at the local high school, cutting the wood she needed. She and Grandpa actually put it together in a bedroom at my Grandparents house... Grandma is the phototgrapher, she takes all the pictures you see in my website.  See Cola in his new home HERE.
Buddy is a seriously happy lizard now!
