Our Donated Terrarium

May 14, 2011

My wonderful niece Susan, who is more like a cousin because of our ages, was so generous to donate her 60 gallon terrarium and several things to go with it to our little classroom after the death of her bearded dragon. She knew Austin was into reptiles and amphibians so she thought of him when she was ready to get rid of the tank.

Austin wanted to keep it in his room but the shear size of the tank made that not possible, so into the classroom it went. Which is probably better so that we all can enjoy it.

We had to put in the lizard playground equipment and some sand.

Smoothed it all out and added the last few pieces.

Inserted the background and water dish that we already had. It turned out really nice.

We had thought about buying a reptile or amphibian but I decided that we could just catch a few Fence Lizards and keep them because they are pretty hardy and shouldn’t be as prone to disease and sickness. I knew the kids would not take care of any pet that was high maintenance. So now we have a easy to care for classroom pet lizard and the kids are very pleased.

Thank you so much Susan!
