    Ventilation

    My boy friend and I are in the process of making a new enclosure for Eva, we have vents on the side but I am a little concerned that with the placement of this enclosure even with the vents there might not be enough ventilation and air circulation.

    irresponsible owner (long sad story)

    Where are you located? Things like this make me sick, I just don't understand how people can just turn a blind eye. At this point I would not consider these animals to be his anymore, although my brother the lawyer would probably disagree, I would try and find homes for them, even if it is just...
