Terrarium 1.0 – The House of Gimli

For those of you who don’t know, I have a (about) three year old male iguana, called Gimli. That’s him below, shedding his skin. He’s still greenish and seems to be staying that way in the future, except when he’s in heat, where he takes on an orange groovy look.

And so the House of Gimli has entered it’s first final release reaching the 1.0 milestone. This means it has full lighting, accessories and doors. That was the last final hardy step, put some doors on the bottom shelves. All in all, it’s a solid construction and I am proud of it. Alot of people contributed to this artwork, which was in the making for 2-3 long years. So thanks everyone for the help, you know you are (father, mother, sister, girlfriend, friend #1, friend #2, etc), couldn’t have done it without all the extra hammering, bolting, design opinion, etc, etc, etc… You can find a nice picture below of the “Terrarium 1.0″. And by the way, that’s a real plant in there, which my green iguana just chops away with huge bits (it was twice the size, the plant that is).

Well, and next ? Terrarium 1.1 is in the making. Better shelving, better humidity, eating place, resting place. An overall feature enhancement. So I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of all the tools, hammers, bolts laying around my room. Guess that’s how it’s gonna be. Enjoy the photos.
