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

as Billy T said, I didn't take offence just in case they took a gate as well :lol:

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

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

found that when researching the ig siezures

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

clarification on import of iguana repto male died and they imported a replacement this from ERMA Application Number: S2606001 3.15 Based on the import permits issued by MAF the project team notes that only four I. iguana individuals have been lawfully imported into Hawkes Bay Marineland and Aquarium. Three I. iguana were imported under MAF permit 84/z/5, which expired on 8 February 1985 (Appendix 3). A further individual was imported (to replace one that died) under permit 91/z/01, which expired on 25 July 1991 (Appendix 5). hope this helps

an old lady from hamilton had about 40 yellow tadpoles in a bucket she wanted 200 dollars for a few years back, said they came from a pond on their farm, sold them to someone in te aroha who put them in a small tank in full sun, turned them into pink tadpoles apparently she comes in once a year with her grandkids but has never found any more, don't worry i ask every time i see her

no Janola

got the paperwork i'll take a pair swap for jardini :lol:

if the iguanas were smuggled and monitors taken off people, why has no one been prosecuted for this, only the animals destroyed.? Animals that can't survive for long without a heated environment. iguanas were declared a new organism in nz almost 2 years after they were offered for sale on trademe, a public site, articles in newspapers quoting government department officials saying that these animals were legal in nz led many people to believe they were legal in nz biosecurity were unable to locate any importation documents for iguana into nz, then by accident found the marineland permit attached to the back of the original marineland zoological permit. what other permits might have been issued in the early days and been destroyed or lost in my mind biosecurity did their job within the confines of the law and did it fairly. it was a pity that people lost money and pets on this whole exercise and the animals were destroyed to prove a point to future smugglers like others you show me the documentation and i will buy it, until then the barge pole stays firmly in my hand

had one of those once when i sat on the fence

i've also seen frills, matamatas and monitors over 20 yrs ago

Orson Wells rides again

zi for zippy will settle down over time, he is still in flight mode ie: he can fit in any predators mouth as alan said with a few together they settle quicker, safety in numbers like humans they have different personalities

hans is right run ours on astroturf, 2 pieces, you can then change them weekly and hose off the old one can smell if you don't keep them clean
