    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

The Gecko Palace 3000 (in progress) mega picture overload!

Wow! I wish that you lived closes, those would probably sell at the Reptile show I have tables at. I really wish I was handy like you, I'd make a few myself :bawling:

Good job Shanti!
 
If I knew how to make molds, it would be possible to mass produce them...sadly, I don't know how!! The thought has crossed my mind. It take a lot of thought and effort to make the original...so I'd have to charge a ton of $$$$ to make it worth while (making them one at a time). As it is, I can't get this one done! LOL
 
Molds are easy, use latex to cover the whole thing and let it dry, then put your plaster over that to keep the mold "workable" then you pull the whole thing out and the latex is very pliable, and you peel it off of the existing piece, then pop it back into place, put back into the plaster cast, and pour your mix, let it harden, pull it out and peel the latex off again, viola, cast and mold making 101...
