I have been on here for a couple months now but keep forgetting to properly introduce myself to everyone. My name is Josh and I live with my wife, kids, and three torts in the Phoenix area. I have raised reptiles since I was a kid and currently have one juvenile male Leopard (bacocki) and a pair of juvenile Sri Lankan Stars (1.1). While I think we are done with the kids, I am hoping to build a couple good colonies with the leopards and stars. I have been reading a lot of threads on here for the past few months and just wanted to express my thanks for all the great info and insight. It is great to have so many experienced keepers so willing to share what they have learned with others. I especially want to thank Tom as I used his "best yet" night box design as a general template for my own. Anyway, thanks again and I am sure I will be talking more with all of you in the future.

Here are pics of the Stars' enclosure just after construction. 10' x 6' with a 2' x 4' heated (radiant heat panel) night box. We have a hawk that hangs around our yard so I covered with hardware cloth. I have since added some additional hides and various weeds and flowers.
