late

leave

I recommend going a little later in the morning when the sun is high, as on the way in there are some gecko and skink displays and they were quite hard to find. We got there at 11am or so and could only see a few but nearly an hour later on the way out the sun was brighter and more of them were out sunbathing in the tops of the bushes. We saw another wasp with exactly the same sort of spider on another bush walk too, creepy

A selection of the photos I took yesterday – well worth a visit Off topic but interesting: this wasp was dragging this huge spider somewhere. Click thumbnail for short movie. Movie Critters with shells (Top one dedicated to Insect Direct) Willy the Galapagos tortoise from Auckland Zoo 2 horny turtles ramming a female who was apparently oblivious. The hills rang with the sound of shells knocking Capuchin monkey Alligator. Also spotted here was a baby skink trying to get into the alligator enclosure, rather than out of. Lizards galore Water dragon paradise this place was – they apparently have some for sale also

I greeted one of them extremely politely, and he looked as if to say 'What the ____ are you looking at?' and hid his head under some shade. He didn't realise he was in a zoo. :lol:

2 adults are now off to breed at a new home so tomorrow I move all the fry and juveniles back 'home' where I can keep a better eye on them and keep on fattening them up. and then I have a spare tank again :bounce:

most like it in the 22-24 range. Mine have been in 25ish over summer If you have a warm room you might be able to get away with no heater. Depends which ones you get

I went today, photos to come. I loved it. Yes there are 2 capuchin monkeys part way to the alligators, they were looking surly today

We are supposed to be going to Goat Island tomorrow but the report on SeaFriends for today says it's crap. So it could be the excuse I need to go and see the lizards. It is one of my 'holiday things' to go to Goat Island when the kids have gone back to school so I get the snapper almost to myself :oops:

hahahahaha :lol:

was reading about others' experiences with these http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_pygmaeus.php and found this comment: You were right to move them to a smaller tank if this is anything to go by.

it's between Leigh and Matakana, Ti Point if you will. is it any good?
