Not sure yet I might do it up put something else in it.
Some goldstrips would be cool in that cage
-
Those are incredible photos. Was getting an ownership license difficult?
Na man it's actually really easy to get a permit, well for me it was
-
Do not try and breed them because there are way to many atm
-
sorry but i am now curious, can you please post a full pic of the cage. Very cool looking skink btw
-
Yea beardies have gone up in price this past year as i got mine 2 years ago for only $200 from animates. I like reptiles at highish prices though cus makes people care for them very well. Thats why im worried about the drastic decline in leopard gecko prices, they were at $500 for a male around a year ago, and $1500 a couple years before that. I guess i just need to trust they are going into capable hands.
true, water dragons are worse though $80 from the iguana breeder
-
700, wow people are asking for 800+ with beardies :an!gry
-
Wow awesome. Congrats! So jealous that you got it but its good to know someone really into reptiles bought it. Please put up a heap of pictures of your little guy once you get it :bggrn:

Thats so cool, not surprised though. A few months ago i saw a comment section on trademe with a guy selling a water dragon, talking about selling chameleons asking for 2000, cant remember if it was the same guy though?
-
Sorry to wake such an old post up but does anyone actually breed these today?
-
I'd like to shift my focus more towards natives in the future. Exotics been good for learning some basics. For know I just feel humbled to be feeding some of the nations rarest natives, through clients.
-
one more question, when you bring the dragon home do you just fully leave it be for a few days and not feed it? thats what i have read in other forums
-
sweet as i will wait longer then
-
So i will likely be getting a water dragon in a few weeks. it is a hatchling around 1-2 months and really small, do you guys think flies and moths (which i feed my geckos) would be a fine staple for a month or less, until i can get a stable breeding pattern with the locusts i have at the moment?
-
with a big enough enclosure, mostly males will become tame enough to climb your leg or stand on ya feet to get at locusts,cicadias e.c.t generaly in the summer season where temps are hot enough to make them feel secure and aggresive enough . outside enclosures that is! from what I have seen ,inside adult waterdragons with way too small enclosures 4 foot 6 foot 8 foot fishtanks ect become unnaturaly tame and become almost retarded as they don't have the space ,natural weather patterns,real sunlight,seasons e.c.t to act naturaly. never seen one as tame as an inland beardie but I put that down to domestication due to inbreeding,line breeding and the same lack of natural conditions and small inside enclosures! next time your in Australia try handeling a wild inland beardie! hope you got gloves.. then go to any park and feed a freerange waterdragon. ill take a waterdragon over an inland beardie any day. still inlands make great pets for kids and teach them to like reptiles.... p.s I think the reason inlands are so expensive and in demand is due to crap genetics and crap fertility and before you jump up and down and rant about it,answer this .if inlands can have up to 4 clutches of 12 to 24 eggs a season and they have been available to the general public for 10 or so years why arnt they $50 a pop and free to a good home? do the math do the research and then rant back at me! either crap genetics or crap husbandry. p.p.s if you don't like my crap spelling either put a spell check on this site or get over it! :lar: :dnc1: :facepalm: !drool: :sick: :cofn: :facepalm: :cofn:
:lol: :nilly:Thanks sneaky, and no i will not try to rant back at you about this topic :slfg:. I am almost clueless when it comes to selling/breeding dragons........
-
Alright thanks, just another question, why do beardies cost so much more than blueys/water dragons? Popularity? less breed?
-
Has any one kept or had experience with a water dragon that could be hand feed or handled without to much problem?
Cheers
-
You need to sort out a person who is willing to give you geckos before you apply (at least in my area)
You could ask doc if they know anyone but in the long run it's better to just join nzhs, you are pretty much guaranteed to get the geckos eventually.
-
I seem to have been banned outright from the whole forum when didn't pay subs :sml1:
Same thing happened to me, but then i paid again and it was fine.
-
http://forum.reptiles.org.nz/ fairly active but mainly for natives. and if you want to read the better stuff you have to be a paying member. I don't think there is another active forum.
-
Haha, i'm just going to stop now.
-
It would be cool if they could make permits for monitors/ other reptiles. They could do it just like as doc does for geckos ect, i think it would work personally.
-
I don't really understand why there is a problem having monitors and iguanas in New Zealand when we have cats and other common pets running around the back yard killing native birds and lizards. For example when i lived with my grandparents there were tons of geckos and skinks behind the house, then after the next door neighbor moved in with two cats i never saw any again... :an!gry

My favourite little fellas. They're best buds :bggrn:
great deal, what type of tortoise?
-
One down one to go!
was making my way down to the beach... and there on the footpath leading to the beach was one of my geckos..
it seems fatter than before and seems in good nick... after two weeks of freedom!
Wow very lucky, how far away is the footpath from your house?
