They would look great at the front of my reptile houses!

Actually, they would make great entrances to the reptile house! Good idea!

These are great ideas. Please Pm me when you have a series completed and I will close the topic and move it to the information booth. for safe keeping so it doesn't get deleted in a cleanup and is always available for the members and guests of the site.
