from my experience the dogfish are more tolerant of water conditions than the pelagic species are

get a fairly decent skimmer too, helps with water purity they go through a bit of food

double post getting old , repeating myself :oops:

hitch hiked in the back of N.S.W. aussie for three days once, didn't see a vehicle in those three days, thought it would be a one day trip. the blue tongue tasted nice, no chips though

what sort of setup are you going to run?

sorry, but banned by erma, http://www.ermanz.govt.nz/no/aboutno/banned.html

I'll take three live ones thanks repto

as i understand sharks dog fish are best, for the pelagic species you need a rounder tank with no caves to get stuck in, they are not good at reversing and need to be always moving forward to keep the gills working especially young ones used to transport them back in a 200 litre drum on its side, with top cut out bilge pump with flow directly over sharks snout or tape the hose in their mouth

port jacksons are sometimes caught in nz waters list of shark species in nz http://www.teara.govt.nz/EarthSeaAndSky ... ndard/2/en when you catch them remember i have a 10,000 litre saltwater pool

to go with the dogbox if you didn't get the cat

when i was racing pigeons my arms got tired i used to pluck to replace broken flights on my best racers

plucking when done properly is a seemingly painless experience it takes me about 1 to 2.5 mins to handle and clip a pet parrot which involves clipping about 1/3rd of each wing

Hi Mel sorry your not in this area or i would do them for you wing clipping should only involve the primary flight feathers and if done properly, ie: along the line of secondary feathers will not involve any blood feathers a proper clipping will stop your pet bird from flying into windows or out the door and still allow it to land safely plucking flights and wing clipping can be dangerous if not done by an experienced person cutting a flight feather means it will not grow back until the next moult a plucked feather is usually replaced in a few weeks P.S. i do about 40 birds sometimes twice a year

imo remove the plant in middle of second to last picture, african clubmoss it will take over and fern in bottom photo grows really big others look good the little tree in top pic may die too looks good so far, well done

thanks bill for the explanation and spelling correction in animals it is where the female can produce young without a male present in birds turkeys can do it

was generally speaking about studies done on inbreeding of other reptiles in america, some dragons are on their 9th generation of inbreeding i probably won't live to see the results, 3 generations of the mentioned crosses could take up to 24 years unless like some monitors recorded they can breed through parthonogenisis, don't think it has been recorded in turtles though

that would be the only option left you would then use the turtles that looked more like the cooter type to breed with and so forth in the next generation with 5 to 6 years between each generation? you are breeding siblings, so until another cooter surfaces your gene pool is limited, reptiles seem to handle inbreeding well for quite a few generations

will take a few years and 2nd generation should look good good to see someone trying to do something with the remaining ones

good to see your on the ball 8)

red eared, snakeneck and reeves turtles GREEK, HERMANS and BOX tautasses the most commonly available ones problem is tortoises only have a few young each year

Mark Mark! a dog with a hare lip
