  1. good to hear how often do you feed i feed morning and afternoon keeps them occupied with more to do in the wild they spend their day hunting for food and in the tank they are fed all at once horses are very intelligent and it doesn't take long to become tame and know where the food is coming from
  2. i didn't realise the conch is monosyllabic
  3. sorry saw all the sand and small area of water and made an assumption :oops:

  16. Daddy and son needed to make it big to see the little fellas cirri with [url=http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?
  17. release at 3 weeks, in the wild only 1 % of progeny reach adulthood, hence the up to 200 babies they can have at a time in the first 24 hrs after birth approx 50 % are eaten or die so they have a slim chance in the wild In the 80's i used to catch and sell them to the pet trade so as i was taking from the wild i think its only fair that i replaced more than i had taken, renewable resource and respect as well at 3 weeks of age their chances of survival to adulthood were greatly increased, let nature take its course after that. it is just a practice i have kept up, if you keep lots of horses you have babies to deal with our turtles lay approx 400 eggs each year but we only hatch 80 as we can only sell about that many each year as responsible owners can be hard to find
