    Im going to start a collection. But will give you the double ups as there's bound to be a few. Found a couple more of those march flies. Got 2 pairs so will send one sooner or later (marswel see what else I can find) Heaps of bugs around atm, ones above + a couple of others were just the result of leaving the light on outside late last night. Whats the best way to store them? Pin'd to poly in plastic box or??

    how rude. id be a bit put out to. who in there right mind drinks at 2pm and doesnt offer their work mates a drink :roll:
  7. Insect Direct
    yep, and seems that the species in question, can breed in cooler temps. that coupled with herps slower digestive system (at cooler temps) and maybe an illness chucked in there, could cause issues
  8. Insect Direct
    not sure exactly, about 3/4months since those morphed i think.

    can put your fly trap in the fridge (pref not the kitchen one lol) so its easier to empty the flies out. empty into plastic bag or container, shake flies up with a lil calcium. then pour them out over a bowl (so excess calcium doesnt go into your terrarium). Sure there's other ways to I dont bother dusting flies tbh, mainly just crickets. everything else i feed is just for variety

    Thats interesting Josh, maybe houseflies taste better, anyone know? On a side note - looks like it would be easy enough to line breed stubby winged (flightless) blowflies from what Ive seen. Not sure there would be much point but its food for thought. Lazy herps would probably enjoy them. Dusting flies with calcium would probably achieve the same result temporarily. Whether that would entice your gecko to eat them I do not know.

    possibly this one (Calliphora stygia) http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Ca ... 21&bih=664 appears to be 5 or more blowfly species in nz, that one matches though.

    oh yeah so nothing major then lol thats crazy. good reason for caution i suppose. ((ewww reminds me of a story about some guy who had heaps of maggots removed from his ear.)) The NZ blue blowfly looks like a good feeder.

    cool, should of filmed it. any harm/thing come of it, or just look freakish?
  14. Insect Direct
    I agree. Was thinking more eggs laid on a sick herp with flesh wound etc. Or maybe just with some dags
  15. Insect Direct

    Hit the culprit on the head . I was trying to find reference to a 'live bearing' blowfliy as someone described it just the other day, so thanks for that. If the herp was sick to begin with, I suspect a few fly species could lay eggs, which could very well hatch in ample conditions. Thing I like about blowflies is the size, house flies a so puny for a big frog.

    Anyone else heard this sort of thing? I have always fed both house flies and blowflies, never had any trouble but have seen atleast 3 people recently claim blow flies are no good. Lay maggots in herp, hard to digest etc :-? Anyone want to share there thoughts, please do

    spawn last week - normal eggs, only one hatched, which is a normal looking tadpole. Was from two green frogs, both should be splits. Small chance i muddled up one normal male with a split 6months ago, but If thats not the case than she's an interesting result.... anyone else had the splits spawn yet? be interested to know what the results were.

    sorry to hear that, tis very sad. first theft ive heard of from private hands in a very long time. you sure they havent done a sneaky and got out? if they have been taken, hopefully you can work out who the fool is.

    cheers Repto La - Couldnt agree more Thought the skanks would be too young this year, gonna have to make the daytime enclosure baby proof now i suppose.
  24. Insect Direct
    (circled is where it appears to have been roughed up a little) havent seen any aggression (cant observe all day though), looks like a male has been trying to mate with her/it? or possibly just fighting wounds?
