welcome to the forum vee, i hope you enjoy your stay i find our reps leave food when they are full the thickness of the tail and pelvic area is a good indicator of how fat your BT is

wd's still operate at a lower temp than bd's and bt's had our first frost yesterday (micro climate), wd's still active in outside pen i ran babies in heated pen for 6 weeks then into indoor pen just heated water if they are active and eating it means they are warm enough if they stop eating and try to dig into substrate then they are too cold young wd's may try hiding if there is a lot of movement around enclosure as it is part of their instinct to keep predator safe behaviour is a good indicator of what is going on with your animals

raised 7 like that so far just my opinion

especially the snakes

nice reps

a lot of labour in that stand

what did you keep?

if you are heating their water you may not need a heat lamp just a reptile light over a basking spot be careful with using a tank that there is enough ventilation

as a stop gap measure you could try a 60 wat red bulb as a heat source splashing water can break it though make sure lizards can't jump onto it

no you won't get in trouble for selling to an aucklander but the aucklander may get in trouble for bringing it into the region only a problem if someone gets officious in auckland region

ie:- it builds a web big enough to catch a sheep?

enclosure will need an insect screen top to keep out parasitic wasps and a moist environment as they dry out quickly had one the size of a matchbox on display and lost it to a wasp laying eggs in it :evil:

is that fed young beardies to water dragons or the maggots to beardies? maggots do need cleaning out

you can post it this way repto if you want

welcome trumpetgear you make me feel young at 54 there is an introduction section to say hello in

nice tunnelweb repto, don't let it get too dry they like a slightly damp environment

yes i had the water heated, put a guard on it though didn't eat the plants we used yes and big branch or driftwood make sure it is stable

when we first set ours up we used gravel behind rocks for the land area smooth river gravel and stones as they move fast if startled they kick the stones everywhere they defecate in the water so a lot of muck gets caught up in the bricks, gravel etc ended up with a divider in tank to seperate land and water bare bottom in water side with internal filter land side was small gravel with larger flat rocks on top and planted with acorus rush and other bog plants only had to clean the sponge in filter once a week

plenty of rocks small caves and gaps and some will survive

Sadly matto that may never change

yes they start young had 3 in the big tank originally now about 12 have survived the big fish
