depends if the broms you are using are shade ot light lovers
mine grow well in low light, frogs doing well as well, no ferts
well, just froggie ferts
you maybe surprised what amphibs absorb through their skin
yes temp and humidity also i feel have a part to play
Many wild reptile populations are inbred already, those that have ended up on islands on driftwood and isolated as the terrain around them became uninhabitable
both valid points
so long as there has been fishkeeping there has been breeding and selling and LFS
there is a large difference between an established shop and a backyard breeder who is limited as to advertising their fish for sale
TM has changed this a lot but the warehouse has also changed the retail environment for some
just another thought
we have only a small gene pool of some of our exotic reptiles in nz and in the past there have been concerns raised on possible inbreeding of these animals occuring
and the possibilities of this causing deformities in young
any thoughts on this and what can cause deformities in reptile hatchlings
the costs and overheads are different to all of us and higher to a shop than the average hobbyist
some do it from the sheer love of it, others are the same but need to make it pay so it doesn't impinge on the family budget
it is indeed swings and ferriswheels and all evens out in the end
tank temp now 26

My first crash test dummy fish i found this morning stuck in filter intake
now have guard on it :oops:
is beiing a ware the same as being a lert
and can you be both at the same time
would that make you a warelert or a lertware?
and if you were a warelert could you be a pathetic warelert
or would the fact you were a warelert mean you could not also be apathetic
just another human being :oops:
got kicked out of home at 17, wanted to be a zoologist
joined Ridgways Circus in Auckland as a animal waste technician
learnt a few acts and how to handle and train animals
went overseas and worked for other shows and animal parks
yes spoon my thoughts too
i set some 20mm thick walled alkathene up there today
and passed flow through it, might need to wire it into the thermostat to stop flow when too hot
also on timer to shut down over night when piping will cool
any thoughts on cheapest way to heat
i have a 300w jaegar and a 300 watt stainless steel heater in there at the moment
because the walls and lid are polystyrene i am hoping to retain heat well
it has gone from 18 to 22 degrees water temp today over 9 hours
put a huge stump in there today, still floating :roll:
and a no tail ice blue adult, he looks lost
