  7. hi david is beardie still a good weight, not too thin? what sort of and length of lighting are you using? is basking light or lamp within 12 to 18" of basking spot?
  8. brilliant riposte coelacanth et tu brute
  9. ship in icecream container, packed with damp sphagnum moss and a few small breathing holes, good luck
  10. hear hear - everything is relative! if you were still in Singapore henward and you kept nz natives there you would be the envy of all the other local animal keepers and would have to be a very rich person to afford them you can find snakes almost anywhere in the world but many of our natives can be found nowhere else
  11. yes repto like any animal, small animal, small food young animal, young food
  12. asked the question reply was basically that they are hybrids
  13. at 2.5 inches i find the males haven't developed their claws yet others may have a different view. last years babies at 3 - 4 inches are showing longer claws on some
  14. we feed mealworm, but like everything, in moderation some sites say adult mealworm can bite beardy internally, never had it cause complications with ours though the key is a varied diet yoghurt is good, natural one with acidophilus and bifidus, can buy in powder form from health shop as well do not overdose your animals in vitamins it can cause problems with shaking and metabolism should be enough vits and minerals in quality food and variation
  15. as Billy T said, I didn't take offence just in case they took a gate as well :lol:
  16. probably means, hard to make an id from that photo, do you have a closer image?
  17. pretty hard to tell sex at this age
  18. timely post seelakanth (for those who have trouble with pronunciation) picked up another today same length, but not as deep bodied and a bigger head, front of jaw has a more acute angle to it and mouth is slightly longer. introduced straight to tank, a little fin nipping from established aro but nothing major yet. both fish about 60cm+, so still young
  19. yellow flag iris is a nono banned as an invasive species my purple one is almost as bad
  20. hi alan do you keep any to maturity, and if so what is your sex ratio? i find running them at 30 degrees gives me a fairly even mix of males and females at 30 i find they hatch around the 8 to 10 week mark cheers mark
  21. found that when researching the ig siezures
  22. albinism is expressed in wild animals rarely, yellow or white makes an easy target the survival of the genetic trait depends on predators being present, in their natural environment, Australia, frogs have many different predators to contend with but in nz the numbers of predators is reduced dramatically. a smal;l pond with a locked in population could eventually through inbreedng express sports or mutations in the population, and with frogs spawning so many eggs the numbers of coloured frogs might be large. there are a large amount of ifs and mights in this eventuality you could always blame it on genetic damage from sprays etc. still too much money for a frog wait a few years and the market will be flooded with people breeding them, prices will come down albino to albino = albino, spawn 300 tadpoles all albino 3 or 4 people breeding them = possibly 1,200 albino frogs on the nz market per year = 20 to 40 dollars each
