Hello, Newbie from Australia

[Ravyk]

Hi, my name is Rachel, but I'm better known as Ravyk.

I live in Adelaide, South Australia with my partner and a menagerie of animals [2 dogs, carpet python, green tree frog, yabby [freshwater crayfish] and tropical fish]. We both suffer from multiple tank syndrome! We currently own 12 aquariums and 2 vivariums in all different stages of construct.

I am currently building a vivarium from an old TV corner cabinet and planning on making it look pretty awesome with a DIY rock wall and possibly a waterfall.

Welcome to the forum! My brother and I are cheering for Australia in the Fifa cup since our team didn't make it this year =\

Sounds like an interesting project, be sure to post your journal here for us to read. Oh yah and welcome to the forum.

Thanks everyone..I'm glad you like pictures...I have plenty.

This is our display tank at the moment. Needs more aqua-scaping but that is my partner's area.


This is my snake...when she was little [ie. 3ft long]. She is now nearing 6ft...will take some new shots soon. For those interested, she is a Queensland Coastal Carpet Python


This is my Yabby/Australian Freshwater Crayfish. He is also a bit bigger now.


This is my Green Tree Frog, in his old tank which he escaped from twice! He has been nicknamed 'zombie frog' as he escaped for 11 days before I found him outside unexpectedly and it had been hot and dry almost the whole time.


My vivarium, work in progress.


And this is my current rockwall construction for my frog tank...but I've decided to scrap this one and do a completely different design.


Last but not least, my two four legged friends, Peggie [terrier X] on the left standing and Spot [Australian cattle dog X] on the right, sitting with his paws up on me.
