  1. there is something thats old and calm in some reptiles almost like they know something we don't
  2. to make it worth your while you can have the air pump i have for parts
  3. the start of all this was a guy in auckland releasing about 30 birds then crowing about it :evil:
  4. i put them on a sand base then sand over again slowly heats over a wider area with astroturf for lizards, just sand for the locusts
  5. thats a good innings alan give her my wishes to stay at the crease a little bit longer
  6. air holes with insect screening along sides and back and the lids will have gaps angled roof should allow air to pool then release from top if that is not sufficient will put mesh door in one end and look at fan on probe
  7. has been probably put in place so they can control any birds wandering down from auckland you better ring your council and confirm charlie ps it doesn't mention hybrids
  8. i am learning something new each day just solder wires on a heat pad, they maintain steady 34 degrees
  9. nice fish, do you want a couple of more dollars?
  10. so if i leave them like they are then i will please everyone one of each it is then waiting for batteries to recharge made the heat pads up wiring to do next
  11. right striated it is then back to the painting
  12. there are not enough hours in a day bulldogod 2nd coat of poly dry, 1 more to go painted rockwork your opinions please, what looks best in colouration, this or this striated look poly came from local recycling centre aqutopia
  13. they were too 'stuffed" seriously, they are now back to back between the aros tank and reeves turtles
  14. it might have come from lyttleton ?
  15. it was free too got about 30 square metres of it
  16. sealed all joins and first coat of polyurethane thought instead of watching the paint dry i would start on the "rockwork" the chainsaw is a wonderful tool
  17. we feed bugs once a day, they don't last long like the work for your food idea
  18. so do i i like using other peoples left overs it is cheaper lunch time finish would be good, but polyurethane drying between coats, then artificial rockwall, astroturf, heatpads, lights, wiring and the rest of the animals to look after maybe sunday night if i'm locky
  19. the peice of glass for the front is toughened i do have some 1m x 1m sheets of safety glass for the lid as well they were $20 each left over bacony panels bought on the auction site thought of perspex as well but would scratch up too quickly
  20. i need to move some of the reptiles inside for winter and have run out of indoor enclosures so need to build something went to ITM building supplies and got a 20mm Chipboard sheet and 15mm mdf coversheet both 2440 x 1220mm $5.00 each cut base and back board out of 20mm. base 800mm x 2000mm piece of 50mm x 50mm along back for strength on long edge found a spare glass shelf so cut 15mm for front with cutout for window, child height liquid nails and stainless screws for fixing 2 ends from 15mm cut panels outside and assembled inside found an aluminium security door for the lid but may go for glass, better viewing next is sanding then polyurethane, migh wait until tomorrow as i don't think that will go down well in the fishroom
  21. mix the yeast with flour and water and put in hot water cupboard once it has doubled in size put in the oven sorry thats making bread you could still do the hot water cupboard bit to keep it warm or on top of a fishtank
