  1. The bearded dragon at a young age eats mostly insects very little green .As it gets older this changes to mostly greens but still love it's insects to . You will need a UVB bulb for your bearded right from a early age to make up the lack of sunlight . Beards do well outside and love the room .. sleeping in winter and wakening to start a new . I find mine sleep about 1 to 2 mouths ... A leopard eats insects and only insects will not need a UVB bulb but will need a powder that it eats all the time This is what gives it the calcium that it needs to grow right. They are night animals and spend most the day asleep if left alone .. Cannot be kept out side like the bigger reptiles .. Mine being in a room and kept warm all the time ... This is just part of what is different .
  2. it is for Soaking up water and WHAT do you think will happen if they eat it ?????????/ think about it

  8. : Wednesday, 19 May 2010 9:42 a.m. was when email was sent
  9. I was going to get rainbow skinks of Trade me once and ask and here is the email I got back ... Further to your query about Rainbow Skinks and permits last night. I have asked DOC and MAF's resident herpetologist and this is what they have got back to me with: "Anyone wanting to hold rainbow skinks requires a permit from DOC, under the Wildlife Act. It is illegal for anyone to hold ‘absolutely protected’ wildlife without the permission of our Director-General. While I appreciate that it is somewhat odd that rainbow skinks (a known pest) is absolutely protected, this is the law as it currently stands – and this is something I am addressing with MAFBNZ as we speak. Until that resolution comes though, anyone wanting to do anything with rainbow skinks needs a permit from DOC. To apply for the permit, the person should contact the relevant conservancy – in this case, East Coast/Bay of Plenty (ph: 07 349 7400, to call reception). You are right on your interpretation on the release of rainbow skinks. It is illegal under the Wildlife Act to liberate any wildlife (without permission), this includes rainbow skinks." So I was not correct in my interpretation: you do need a permit to keep them even though they are a pest species. This may change it seems, but as the law stands now, a permit is needed. Thankyou for your call to the exotic pest and disease hotline, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have other queries. Best regards
  10. This is what happens when you have red ear with snake neck and feed then ... red ears are so agressive when feeding ... NO GOOD
