i sealed the mdf then 2 coats of polyurethane no problems 3 or 4 years on

if you get rid of the heat pooling at the top it will be replaced by the heat below so what is the temp where the lizards spend most of their time

ours have 2 sliding panels at each end 1 3mm ply with insect screen cut into it as a large window and 1 a sheet of glass, both on sliding track upwards, can alter glass height or remove completely in summer screen in front of glass to stop them running up and down on it and leavung grubby finger marks enclosures 2.4 x 80cm x 90cm

i caught a few small ones in a net and put them in his cage didn't realise the big one was in there too he went straight at it chewed up the wings then ate the whole thing he is catching things better since opening the other eye might go to show that being one eyed means you miss out on somethings in life:D

with 2 eyes it wants to take on the big locusts

it is better if you can expose it daily then you can just use local grass ie a tidal tank but in a tank or sump situation mo matter how good the lighting it slowly dies off unless it is a type that is used to full immersion

sea grass needs to be fully submerged variety, only 2 places in nz it grows fully submerged, i have some growing collected from pools at lowtide that still contained water all year round this is growing in a 9,500 litre outside pool though sponges etc and plants from deeper water should be all right as lower light requirements

to phoenix44 some look but don't see some hear but don't listen

extra protien in the smoothie

yes was a funny auction, went for big money and then offered back at a reduced price apparently the buyer wasn't setup to feed a young beardie properly so seller was more concerned to get it a good home it has been said that i was an idiot for "paying more then market price for a one eyed beardy" by someone without all the facts it is a nice fat little beardie now

its the other extreme a one eyed aucklander

i'm a sucker for the oddball animals i think its name shall remain odin just goes to show not to give up on things

no it is not a reference to a beardie under going a spiritual revelation got offered a young, one eyed beardie that sold on the auction site for an over the top price at a greatly reduced price so took it on when we recieved it i noticed that the eye was still moving under the eyelid but the lid wouldn't open tried moistening to prise lids apart but no go as the beardie was too young and small to exert much pressure had to feed lots of live food, locusts etc into the terrarium as it could only see from one side a few weeks down the track, a skin shed and now that it has grown some more i could handle it better tried again and was able to manipulate the eyelids open to find a fully functional eye underneath so we will have to change its name from Odin

it should be about what is best for the beardie

if your talking food for crickets i think only to be fed to crickets and breakdown of what it contains will be sufficient i have talked to my head cricket and a few wild ones and they assure me there is no laws governing what they eat, so they can pigout on what they like

good to meet you heidy, a genuine person tested all the reps and torts, but only a few of the turtles too many turts would have been swabbing for quite a while so just a few from each group thanks for the visit and the beer

the sump is in the basement and he lives on the 8th floor

you could syringe acidopholus mixed in luke warm, only drawback with yoghurt may be dairy base? has vet tried a stimulant on it? glad someone is doing clinical trials on this navarre we have used acidopholus on our animals for years also dried faeces from a healthy bird, powdered and fed to very young or sick bird to reinstigate gut flora seemed to work in the past

if you get it to eat add some acidopholus to food antibiotics kill the good gut bacteria as well as the bad even used the acidopholus yoghurt in the past capsules from health food shop the best

as repto said donna, keep him out of water and warm sounds like system has shut down, probably inadequate diet curling toes can be a sign of this strange that internally the turtle xrays as white, major blockage? or it hasn't been cooked has it, ie kept at too high a temp for too long sorry but all i can say is good luck with him

how many leopards to swap fo a greek?

don't forget the noise phoenix we have 8 tame ones together

if you have a tame one it maybe best to keep it by itself as personalities can clash, jeaulousy can happen do you know what sex yours is?
