[New Blue Tongues Fighting :/]

.

What is the dep do you have them at ??? with the heat of homes at the moment you shold have very little heat in the day time and a little heat at night at one end so if they get cold can sit under it ...

[New Blue Tongues Fighting :/]

The one that seems to be getting bitten is usually bit around the head and upper back.

They will be okay outside year round in rotorua?

They are fine out side in summer and here in Tauranga they go to sleep in winter ..

But you can all ways bring them in over winter if you like .

[New Blue Tongues Fighting :/]

Sorry to say but looks like 2 males .. they can get very aggro when breeding and the poor girls get a lot of

bites marks around the head and top half of the body ..

But looks like these are fighting ..not mating ...

The bigger the tank the better .. even better put them out side in a large rabbit cage with some hay for at night...just make sure there is wire on the bottom so can not get out

I thought fine sand would be less likely to cause blockages. Imagine having to squeeze out gritty river sand :sml2:

Sorry do not mean when they eat it ... :facepalm:

I mean that I find the sea sand is a lot more finer than river sand and when they dig there holes to lay there eggs the sand falls back in .

The river sand is more compacted and will stay up so that they can lay their eggs without the sand filling in the hole.

Sea sand is also quite fine IME river sand tends to be a bit heavier.

Thank you Squirt .. that is right and if the sand is light then I find that when they lay their eggs

the hole will fill in as fast as they try to dig it out or will collapse when there down the hole laying their eggs

just wondering have any of your reptiles die from being on sand?

impaction?

Have been breeding for about 3 years ( I think ) and they have all ways been on sand ...

Just not sea sand ..all ways on river sand ...

[Leopard Gecko due to lay]

Would beardie eggs be the same shape etc.

Should they be plump if they are fertile?

Beardie a bit bigger and yes they should be plump ..if the are flat .. they are no good

[Leopard Gecko due to lay]

Hey guys another question. Lol

I'm 99.9% sure one of my girls are gravid but hasn't laid any eggs and it's been about 3 weeks..is this usual - she seems okay. Is there a way to get her to lay them?

Would separating her from my other two be beneficial?

Cheers

Very easy to see if gravid ... you will see white eggs on the sides of the stomach ..

they do not need to separated .. I have 4 girls with my one boy in one set up and they are

laying just fine at the moment ...

You just need a container for them to lay in and some vermiculite to lay in ...

[New Baby]

Have a few but this is the first lot of eggs laid and was so happy just to get the one first time ..

[New Baby]

Just had my first reeves hatch today ..for got how small they are ..

She laid 5 eggs but only one went all the way ..

this was her first time lay ...

[Wanting leopard geckos?]

They look awesome!!!!

how many you got?

wanting to sell any?

also how much did it cost to set up one tank

thanks

Mason :bounce:

Thank you for that ..Taken awhile to learn the right way to get the eggs to hatch ...

I have 9 at the moment and to get the gear like the ..

Thermostat with probe

Safety cage with Lead

150 w Heat Bulb

is all up $190 .. we sell these is you are after some ??

You can use a normal tank just use a plywood lid

As for selling any I only have females at he moment ..it has taken me a while to hatch the one male I did

get last year and was at the end of the season so hopfully I will get it right this time ...

[Wanting leopard geckos?]

many thanks

Mason :digH:

[Turtle rescue]

Awwww thankyou Been a bit overwhelmed with turtles, work, mum having lung cancer, snow, yet more turtles, more snow and then some more turtles..... have lost a couple and have one very poorly wee fella here at the moment.....and the pet expo is happening in a month....and most of the turtles have to come home from Napier next month...and theres just no space in tanks to put them! Anyone want a lovely turtle?

Nice to see you still going even after all the problems down there

[Blue Tongue's Outside?]

Hi Guys,

I have heard that it is possible to keep an eastern blue tongue outside all year round in warmer parts of NZ like Auckland. Is this true?

Cheers

Yes you can keep them out side all year round ...I live in Katikati and they do fine ....

You can not breed in Auckland or sell but has far has I now you can have them ???

Some one may say something different and correct me .....

[Sexing young leopard geckos]

Did he replace with another one that wasnt a male either, or not replace it at all?

Not replace at all

[Sexing young leopard geckos]

He is prepared to replace with a male if it turns out not to be one---that is about as good as it gets.

I know some one else that did this and never did get a male from him ..

[Leopard Gecko Caresheet]

They all look nice but will not help them to be fertile or hatch

I have had good luck so far with vermiculite and click clack containers and just water .

I put my container on the scales ... zero it of put in the vermiculite and do a 6 to 4 mix

So if the vermiculite weights say 13g then I x that by .666 which is 8.658g then add that back to the 13g ... 21.658

and that is the weight it should be after you add the water ... 21.5g

Did very well with this

[Sexing young leopard geckos]

Reptilenutt I think I actually have one of yours!!

I agree I have found no information whatsoever on any possible way of being certain of sex at such a young age. It seems to me they are just trying to push sales which I think is unfortunate for people who may be just getting into keeping reptiles and may get put off by ending up with something other than what they thought they were buying.

I would love to know if my juvies are going to be male or female.

I do agree with what you are say that people should help if possible ..

There is a lot of information that is lost because not all of us will share and that is not just in reptiles

but in all animal live ..

and yes it will be one of mine and hope all is well ???

[Sexing young leopard geckos]

There has been breeders that say they have males .. so they say .. and I have been caught myself ..

I have brought males that were 100% and all been females when they grow up ..

The only male that I have truly brought was one that was about 5/6 months old and

is a male ( you can see the right parts by then ) and I have had babies .

I have tried myself to do males though dep control with no luck so far but will not give up.

I have 2 at the moment that were done at what I thought was the right dep but still waiting to see

what they are .

They are about 3 months old and still cannot tell .. if there was a better way to know would love to know but

with all the research I have found none so far but to wait ..
