its a pity your beardie killed a blue tomgue 8) sometimes our beardies sit on the blues back under the heat lamp as i said before you, need to try this in stages and make sure you watch the interaction between your animals. a small enclosure with no hidey holes puts them in each others space all the time small gaps under rocks or logs will give the bluey a chance and elevated branches gives the beardies an escape route

nice group of clowns or is that A circus of clowns or a crackup of clowns

Litoria raniformis, ( Southern Bell Frog) is around in north island locations during day mostly in hiding does most hunting at night from what i know usually in same locations

the SPCA do act on pet shops, but it is hard for them to find a "Qualified" person to inspect the fish, birds or other unusual animals obvious cases of neglect can be spotted by a layman, but if that is explained away by a "power cut" or other occurence beyond their control they cannot act if enough people complain over a long time period action can be taken a notice to clean up your act will be given and if this is done in a specified time period then no further action can be taken unless these are repeated offences bring it to the attention of the shop owner or manager and even a written complaint to head office can have a better result

it will depend on the temperament of the blue tongue, we have a female who bites everything

got to agree with David

Similar species . Litoria aurea ( Golden Bell Frog) has a smooth back, Litoria raniformis, ( Southern Bell Frog) has a warty back. Both frogs Adult length: 55-100mm Whistling Tree Frog mainly brown and grows to 30-40mm

you up for another Jardini ? too BIG? can resize

Hi Fishandchips and Warren im not trying to be an alarmist over the thickness of your tank in our breeding setup i have some tanks i would consider probably too thin for their size, tanks are old ones as well but in the aquarium display all the tanks are thicker than needed as a safety factor for the general public and insurance purposes in the home your tank probably has less chance of taking an unforeseen knock from some outside force 10mm glass on a tank 915mm(Long)x410mm(Wide)x500mm(High) would be overkill, 8mm with bracing should suffice

did the same with a 2.4 x 900 x 900 i made too warren with same result no breakage, 2 years later friends horror of a kid threw a small metal truck at front glass of tank, result bang all on the floor, a half drowned kid and 1 inch of salt water on the lounge floor so now i err on the side of caution

robots in disguise 8)

i agree with barrie, i was taught to think of glass as a liquid under tension so the more force you put it under, ie: hydraulic pressure, the smaller the tap to break the tension, i have gotten away with a lot in fishkeeping but eventually have come to the conclusion it is better to be safe than sorry

or a Decepticon

i think bell frogs mature in their second season i can't remember ours croaking in their first year

try them just keep your eye on things had a little agression from bluey at start, but soon settled down, when i think he got used to them being there blueys dont jump whereas beardies do so you can lift branches slightly off the ground to give beardies safe perches introduce them when you have time to sit and watch for awhile or you could try an hour each day

look like they have settled in well after the long journey tank is a tad warm but i have kept them at that before good luck

with their little legs they sort of slide around the enclosure

i am looking for a male japanese though

get on alright, beardies are faster than the blue slugs been together for 2 years, 2 metre x 60cm floor space

some of the ones i bred, coelacanth

need to organise trip probably mystus and leopard syno wiil update on pickup

I think there is a "standard" now for being slandered

pretty agressive and possesive over space when breeding or defending fry i think

yea nice ryan i have to wait til monday to find out what they are thought at 60 each 2 big cats on display was worth it what size tank are they in ? how long have the owners had wet pets ?

thanks ryan have bought them
