Yikes!

So I've been sick. Really, really, really sick. In February I came down with a mysterious stomach ailment that hasn't gone away, and doesn't seem to be anything anyone can diagnose.

And that was the plan until I saw someone's advertisement for a homemade cage, and I asked him how much it would cost me to build a huge custom enclosure for the ig. He's actually charging me a fair price for...
