sad to see stella
at least you have added to your knowledge base with keeping natives
and will be able to recognise this early next time and know how to treat it
a bad experience but one you have learnt from
and will be able to help others with later on
it is good to see you haven't sold it to those foreign buyers
i take it that because of the economic downturn the valuation n the bridge has dropped Alanmin
if so i may be interested again and wonder if i may resubmit my previous offer for your consideration?
wd's are alright if they are handled all the time from babies
not the sort of lizard to take out for a walk though
as they are very fast, leave a bd sitting at the lights
water dragons are good if well handled
if you are able to select from a few youngsters, pick a less skittish one
then daily handling for a few months will help to keep it quiet
i can pickup 2 of ours easily
if possible a sump in the basement of the house is good as it will usually run cooler
pumps etc if they sit in the water will make it slightly warmer by the heat they produce
external will do the job
mainly in the manawatu and waikato in the same place as whistlers were found
also some at old freezing works paddocks between carbine foad and tamaki estuary when we were kids
i have an old collins book somewhere that outlines many things in nz and where they are found
will have to remember to look for it
sad for you Caryl
possibly stolen
though i have seen a king shag eat 40 goldfish in a sitting
sticks and stones had no effect
but the air rifle stopped the feast
now that is a nice spider Ira, good pic
do you still have it
no one has died from a katipo bite yet
our katipo is being "beaten on the beaches" by a sth african competitor
as well as council insecticide spraying
