I use a very convenient temporary setup for my leop. All it takes is one 4x8 sheet of 3/4 inch plywood ripped into one foot strips.(home depot will cut it for you)You join it at the corners with corner channel that you get at a waterbed store. It takes about three minutes to set up or take down and you only have to store a small pile of wood when it's not in use. I set mine up in different parts of the yard so Rex gets a nice balance of fresh grown weeds and grass. Maybe your mom would allot you a litle more land for a more temporary enclosure. Just a thought. Max: Thanks for the info.

: How big do Hibiscus plants get? I don't want too much shade. I will definately look into getting one, since I read in several places they make good food.

: I would like to make it bigger, but I'm somewhat limited. After all, I'm only 16, and this is my mom's garden. If it were up to me I would let him roam the whole yard! But this will have to do for the next 5-10 years or so until I get my own place. And it's certainly an improvement from the large plastic tub I have now.

: I'll see if I can make it 8' x 5' anyway. I know he will enjoy it, he's a real roamer.
