thanks bedazzled glad to hear echo has settled in i thought you guys just had kids as an excuse so you could visit us, watch cartoon movies and play on the swings

bummer whetu it is a pity bear traps are not legal

oops forgot the pair of oscars for the aro and jardini tank they have taken over the jars favourite hangout he tried to move them, but has trouble with 2 to spar with

a large school of silver sharks for the bichir tank or is that a small school of large silver sharks they have settled in well and only 2 have slight marks from the trip

when the chickens are bigger the quail may get pecked

got any cabinet makers locally? you will need to let them know the weight it will have to support and will be sealed to make more waterproof a couple of good tank stand threads on here in technical

looking happy outside bulldogod

so if an illegal importation happened last year was anyone prosecuted over it and frogs seized? or is that based on heresay and surely dna testing would have proven that the current lot were the same gene pool mind you though the original legal releases could have been from the same genetic lines too probably no dna records for the originals though

they want to buy you and are just making a deposit

contained in the freezer

very clever caryl

sorry i am just an aged flora and fauna maintainer and don't understand these new terms

as far as i know confiscated and destroyed strange for an animal that was introduced into nz years ago

the reason has to be valid but the facts presented that back up the validity are usually incomplete, erroneous or have no relevance to new zealands climate

nice pics rozski

something humans pass around

my son is doing zoology at massey and has checked this out for me the lady seems legit from that end just some personal thoughts on the topic have had our reps for a few years now and i have picked up no diseases off them that doesn't mean they are not carrying something though i personally would like to know what diseases they do carry as many are treatable to have this done professionally will cost a lot of money in lab time the animals i have are readily available in nz and have been here for awhile and related to other peoples reps cross contamination in your own collection can happen very easily one of the facts used to have the green iguana declared a new organism was that they were carrying mount pleasant salmonella and this was not found in nz previously but was present in a couple of collections in the states this suggested that these lizards were related to these collections and probably smuggled a few weeks after having them declared a new organism and removed from peoples collections an application was put to erma to have mount pleasant salmonella removed as a new organism as it had been in nz for a few years if this is a smokescreen for biosecurity etc and i lose my collection then there will be legal avenues to pursue the reptile hobby in nz is fragmented, and shrouded in secrecy as people are worried about having animals confiscated or stolen sadly the recent actions of authorities in the green iguana case, the theft of the day geckos from hamilton zoo and the high prices of tortoises on that site have only added to peoples protection of the rarer reps they have and distrust of people viewing their collections just some personal thoughts on the topic

so do i do all of the above, fiddle with all knobs then administer a sharp slap to the right hand side of the control panel or pick machine up a couple of inches and drop usually works for me

probably more chance of something coming in on starlings, dotterel etc

agreed to take part 2 weeks ago waiting for the visit
