Looks great. I have to ask... Is the human skull real? Either way it looks expensive.

lol, the skull was $5 or $6 @ wally world in the fish tank decor section. a couple zips of the jig saw, some gs and a tiny bit of grout and walah- $5 skull hide. one of her favorite places to nap & it looks cool when she crawls out the eye holes. made from resin i believe.

Hey, geckolord1,
Don't assume that just because you're a kid you can't do stuff. It depends on your circumstances, of course. If you live in a small apartment in the city, it's pretty hard, but if you live in the suburbs or in the country you can make lots of stuff yourself. You can scrounge materials from dumpsters, the roadside, construction sites, and patches of woods. Reptile cages, which don't have to be waterproof, can be made from glass from old windows, window screen, hardware cloth, and wood. You can get basic tools from garage sales, Craig's list, or when they're on sale at a hardware store or home center. If your parents object to giving you a place to store the materials, explain to them that a good hobby is the best way to keep kids off drugs. They'll understand.

Don't give up.
Martin
