Captain Soup

SOLD

One male happily croaking away. Im not interested in breeding. Maybe someone else is. $100 ono

cheers guys, im not really that interested in breeding, just admiring, have work and things to focus on. i was more concerned with longevity and stuff. i do have a 1 and a half y/o male "lutino bell",not sure if thats even desirable for the albino gene pool, but i remember reading that there is a female gender bias so.. if any of the breeders are interested in swapping for a female, but it seems the craze has settled, some awesome geckos being produced though..

i have a basking bulb in me frog tank, keeping it at around 20 degrees, with exotics you keep the temp constant for the the whole year unless you wish to brumate them, and generally once they are older, is this the same for native frogs? give them the winter summer cycle? or just leave it at a happy constant ideal temp? i cant decide... :nilly:

hahaha one of them seems to be chasing a habit instead..

hmmm to iv gone to watery then? i mean if you count all the wood the base of my poor dead bonsai.. and the little turtle dock the rocks it would surely be more land mass than water, i just set it up like this for the simplicity, have a canister filter that turns on for a couple hours a day giving a little waterfall effect...

does anyone know if the frogs prefer to have a blanked out side of a glass tank? hmm i mean if one of the sides should NOT be transparent?

ohk ok. seems about that.. takes me a minute or two to do it manually... thanks

Hey Jason, do you have any idea how much water you put into the tank daily? just wondering as i have some baby ferns out the back but iv never managed to get them to live in a tank before.. atm im misting the tank manually and using roughly a liter... seems a bit too much...

im guessing you meant the false bottom. i just used some fine chicken wire propped up by some flat stones, nothing fancy. not sure how il get the water out when it starts filling up... probably just tip the tank and syphon it out.. hope this is helpfull

yup thought that was it but wasnt going to trust my memory so cheers :bggrn: its on soil, with a false bottom for drainage for the plants so hopefully iv done everything just right and it will slowly evolve like my old frog tank..

set out to make my whistler enclosure "nice and simple" so they couldnt hide from me... didnt end up so simple... :facepalm: any tips on how to get the xmas moss nice and green would be appreciated, cant remember what it was i done with the last one, too long ago..

Hi there I am a student at AUT and am currently working on a project in my Inovation paper. In order to better develop my product and present it to the class and hopefully produce it in reality I need some important feed back from you, the consumer. if you could please take the time to answer a couple simple questions and email or private message me your answers i would be very grateful. Questions are... 1) In keeping reptiles do you find the cost of power to be a problem? 2) if there was a sustainable and efficient way to replace the conventional way of powering your lights, filters, heat lamps ect. How likely on a scale of 1-10 are you to purchase such a product? 3) How much are you willing to pay for such a product, if it were able to run more than one enclosure without using any power from the mains? Thanks in advance for your feed back. please either email your answers to [email protected], or private message them to me, this will be easier for me to monitor and put into my report. Thanks Again Kamil

:slfg:

NEVERMIND!! just found ID's "half pie atempt" at a caresheet...pretty dam good if u ask me..

Another Q. what sort of temps do people have in their frog enclosures? i dont heat my tank, but it seems to linger around the 22 degrees mark, which i think might be a tad hot? i know i dont like that much heat...

birdbarn in aucks once had teeny ones for $80...was about....3 months ago now? just ask them if their gettting any more anytime.

thanks! southern bells, about a year and a couple months old.. sizes vary, anything from 3cm-6cm, a couple seem to just not want to grow any bigger, no matter how much i feed them. :dunno: yea my partner got them and originally i wasn't that interested in them, now iv commandeered them and they are, just quietly, my fave..

iv had a few of these pop up over the last month.. this is the first one iv got to before the frogs destroyed it.. im proud! must be doing something right if things are springing up on their own.. This not so little plant sprouted all on its own too.. funny how all the succulents i planted died... and because i cant resist... Monster(left), named as he/she likes to bully the other frogs and my fingers :slfg: and Mommy(right) named due to his/her impressive size nothing else

that makes sence... thanks :thup:

iv got 6 southern bells in a all natural viv, 5.0 Uvb bulb. happy frogs good appetite, even have the ocasional go at my finger. some shy some not... the question is.. 90% of the time they are a very dark brown, almost black colour. which sucks because when they do light up shall we say, they all have very nice colouring and patterns.. what could the cause o this be? they show off their coulours especially, but not only, when i put them outside in the rain in a tank full of grass.. some pics....

hmmm if sneaky2 is the guru i doubt he would sell his reps to a shop without sharing some knowledge, also shops are businesses not pet owners, they provide the minimum care to keep costs down, BUT a good business wouldn't provide in-adequate care as they would loose animals and therefore money and customers. they are like an orphanage, a halfway house for animals until we come along and give the animals proper homes.. bird barn and Hollywood fish farm are two stores that are MUCH better than animates and so i go there.... ok rant over..

the first one i brought from Bird barn..the owner there breeds them and few other things with a friend, hes quite onto it, and the other two showed up on trade me for $80 i think it was, i never met the breeder my girlfriend met their mother somewhere on the north shore. ok thanks for the advice i will look into it.

envious of your enclosure by the way.. as soon as we get our own place... :nilly:

9 month old one would be roughly 15-20cm, and the other 7month olds 2 5-7cm..without tails that is.. they are over due for a growth spurt but even they differ in size slightly... maybe easier with pictures... the youngens and the elder
