I realize I've been breaking the law here by not posting pics since Irwin was little. So, I hope I'm not fined too heavily by Zach or any of the mods. So, here's some of my big boy Irwin I took this morning........

Ok, I'll come out for a few shots
Image
I'll check it out up here.
Image
Anyone up here?
Image
Anybody??
Image
Guess not.
Image
Nobody on the other side either!
Image
Lets see if I can find a way out of this joint.
Image
Hey, is this glass open?
Image
I think it is!
Image
I know it is! Now's the time to make my move!
Image
Ha ha, free at last........free at last!!
Image
Awwwww man, busted!
Image
Yeah go on, take your camera and leave! I'd rather eat, anyway!

He looks great! I love the cage as well. My indo is one like yours and seems to like not being able to see out the other three sides. Plus those are so much lighter then the full glass ones!

I agree on the cage Jenn. Very light, easy to clean, and he seems to feel real secure in it. I used to use vision cages, but they weren't very flexible as far as your heating and lighting arrangements go. Thank you for the comment.

Hey I have that cage! (I think we established that before though. :oops: ) lol Yours is the bigger version of mine!

Irwin is beautiful! What a nice size he is. You said he's only 3 months? Or am I crazy?

Just curious, What are each of the lamps on top of your cage for?

Thanks Funda. Thank you, Diane. You're not crazy, Irwin turned 3 months just 9 days ago, and yes, mine is the 65 gal. The domes and thermostat on the enclosure are explained in the enclosure album, titled "Irwin's Place."

We'll forgive you this time, as long as it's not another 3 months between pics :wink:

He has grown!!! He's beautiful :love: Northerns are gorgeous.
His tank looks great, too. Are the rocks and logs and stuff real of fake?

Ok Leigh, I won't wait so long between shots. :wink:

Lisa, The rocks are natural black slate. My son works for the railroad, and when they excavate for new signal boxes or track, he comes across tons of it. He pressure washes it for me and brings me up to a hundred pounds of it at a time. The wood tunnel was a flat piece of driftwood from ebay, which I ripped down the middle in my woodshop, and mitered together longways to form a triangle shaped hide/tunnel. After seeing all of Jenn's set-ups, which I thought look great, I think I'm going to attempt to green up Irwin's place a little with some silk plants.

Thanks everyone, for your comments! :)

I love the yellow triangle shapes along Irwin's sides. What a chunky-lunka handsome boy! Great set up too!

Hey Drew, I will soon have an enclosure available that looks just like that. It's only a 20 gallon though. But if you were interested in purchasing it, I would look into the shipping cost and PM you with a price on it.
