another reason for drop eye maybe that in the wild they spend most of the time looking up for food whereas in the tank there is really only a bright light or lid to look at for most of the day

maybe the animals, fish etc are just there so everyone buys the accessories that go with them

no rope barrie, use a bungie cord then you can punish yourself over and over again we are all humans and entitled to voice our opinion you were merely expressing yours and somebody expressed theirs you broke no guidelines if some one wants to be offended by what you say remember it is their problem and not yours sadly the written word is not really able to express emotion too well and all to often can be taken in a way that was never intended by the author some of us know you for what you really are not the thick skinned rhino but the teddy bear only too quick too help others sometimes the tone of the site is not what it used to be please don't join the number of people who don't post as much anymore as you, like each of us, are a small part of what makes this forum what it is P.S. before i answer someone who has said something to upset me or just been nasty i think to my self, what has happened in their day or even life to make them feel like that then i feel sorry for them

thanks for comments guys they have all settled in well

saw a huge fishroom years ago done by a Reg Adams here in tauranga 8 guage fencing wire in sandbed with tanks on top run off a young arc welder, temp was determined by the length of wire he used don't know how long it lasted though

good game i like being wrong

sorry rochelle wasn't having a go at you the :evil: face was for my feelings towards the syno it was a big BGK

i have done this but use "green" salt water full of algae, plankton etc, flat dishes in full sun all day and a slow flow through a sump heated during winter

it was a 5 - 6 inch vermiculated syno and yes it did happen :evil:

they may have something to say about feeding out endangered species

i walked through the long grass today and there were 1,000's of those little brown crickets and red grasshoppers everywhere the reptiles are now full

meaty little bugs aren't they? hoppers on steroids there are a lot of different types of grasshopper in nz

have the red grasshoppers here and some greens guy called simon morris i trade insects with has been studying nz hoppers for 20 years he's named a few of them as well a few pics of his

by colouration and shape possibly 3

one of i think, 2 native species found in the north island

mega mire 10 or any large haedware store as phoenix said will say on tube safe for aquariums

had it since it hatched out of the egg if you had it since an egg, would it be friendlier? possibly but i would try to minimise the petting while still in the egg stage

water dragons aren't really a "pettable" pet they are incredibly fast this is shaky, handled since young and the water dragon we use when doing animal handling demonstrations their back legs are very powerful with good claws attached

nice pics guys a water dragon

dixon you are correct and win the prize not a pro but the best result can be to skim the water in the first compartment of your sump where the overflow enters i think it can essentially go in any chamber in the sump

you could grow corals with them

the reeves in question is a fat boy and doesn't have keels on the shell but what appear to be 3 lumps reeves have been here since i was 12 and that is way more than 26 years ago

well that the only thing to test then
