mmhhh I like paella... :cr1:

I have a question (which may sound stupid as most of my questions sound) but do Whistling Tree Frog juveniles eat each other ? I know that some other 'brands' do but I have no experience with Litoria Ewingii. I feed them a lot, they do not starve but it seems that the 'first born' is growing much faster (and fatter) than the other ones and it seems there is one or the other of the latest morphed ones missing. strange things are happening in my juvenile tank... :cr2:

One day a man decided to retire... He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank." "Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you." "Oh, this thing?" explains the woman."I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree." "But, where did you get the tools?" "Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron and I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware." The guy is stunned. "Let's row over to my place," she says "and I'll give you a tour." So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf. As the manlooks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house. While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Please sit down." "Would you like a drink?" "No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice." "Oh it's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?" Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs." No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism. "This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?" When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her. "Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely. When was thelast time you played around? She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes "You've built a Model Train Layout ?"

...and then the swiss and german tourists came

I did breed frogs for many years but something like that I haven't seen before - there is a 3rd back leg growing on the tail - or is it a missplaced front leg ? - wondering what happens to that leg when the tail will shrink... (are these already some Fukushima results ?) (...no Adobe Software was harmed or used for that picture)

noone an idea what did happen to that tail then... ? I just have an el cheapo digital camera and can't take better pictures but the tail looks as it is somehow rotting or dissolve

one of my Chinese Firebelly Newt larvas has a strange looking tail. do I have to get concerned or is that normal and will develop into a proper tail over time ? who has seen that before ?

it was ordered that way, there are even different numbers on each side. and C30-7 have handrails. it's freelanced...

finished...

I am fine with the 'bubbling noise' but I can't stand the air pump noise anymore, it is so bloody silent here in Naseby (except if the neighbours have their bi-weekly lawn mower orgy - who has the shortest)... thanks

I have enough of that stupid humming sound coming from all my 'el cheapo' Air Pumps not to mention the rattle from them jumping around. what brand or model can you recommend which is totally silent (and does not vibrate the whole room) ? I need it to supply air to up to eight breeding boxes (Newts, Axolotle), a medium size pump will do. thanks

no - catch and release

:thup:

1. Steelhead 2. Rainbow 3. NZ Brownies

just to get that right, the pirate flag was INSIDE your house on the wall, right ? good luck with these neighbours...

thanks David, some more done...

a bit more done...

fixed an air leak on a joint on my spare air compressor and I am back in business... ...yes I do, just now I am painting an N scale Kato C30-7 into a freelanced KiwiRail model (yellow is on, masked for the orange)

that head belongs into a bed - not on a tree... :facepalm:

thanks, worth a try...

the one on the picture is N gauge / scale 1:160 (but I also do H0, Z, NZ120 and some G scale)

thank you...

no, I don't have a train setup - I only build, paint and weather them...
