repto

nothing new really.probably just the tip of the ice berg?In fact i have been solicitted for native reps on this very forum via pm`s(from overseas)just ignored them and they went away.

just looks like hes come out of dirty water and as already mentioned starting to shed anyway.

her`s one of mine,What sort you reckon?southern?

what I have seen incubation temps could have as much if not more to do with deformities?Also the time frame for reaching breeding age and getting next generation to an age to pickup these deformities and attribute them to inbreeding,could be a problem to some of us???(tortoises in particular)

time for a tui reptilenutsac???

bit of an odd thing really?even a domestic chicken would not `fit back into its egg` after it un rolls and stands up?turtles and tortoises that i have seen hatch also come out semi pliable and change shape after hatching?All this archeollogy(sp) stuff is 90% speculation anyway isn`t it?

never had any probs with fertility at all,maybe one dud which was misshapen if I remember?67 good ones from 3 batchs,lucky i had helpers that took one clutch each leaving me with only one lot which was quite demanding,good luck with them.I found a big net dragged through long grass yielded alot of small bugs etc that were good to get them going,apparently alot of small items is good to get their systems working rather than a few bigger things?

here here,and the geeks of course!

you could start a catch your own fish resort......if you were not doing a runner???

have heard that the giants run towards the end of the season?Stella may be more in the know?there are still reasonable numbers in the wellington region if you know where to look.

www.issg.org/database/species/search.asp?st=100ss try this or just google 100 most invasive species.

rainbow trout comes in at number 63 on this the list for the top 100 most invasive species??

better wisen them up on the correct handling techiquie lA?have done a bit of this with the napier aqurium in the past and you have to be o so careful,as you probably know?The ammount of fish that get given to the aquarium that look good at first and within a few days develop a defiate fungusy hand print!! on their collection trips they use barbless hooks,slow retrievel and wet plastic bagged hands as little as possible.they even degass some with a hypodermic needle to let excess gas out of the swimbladders.

i will have to check that one out if I ever get up your way!!!

people put all their humanoid emotions onto them.He likes me,he doesn`t like this or that?if its hungry it will eat.

not unheard of to dust livefood with calcium?in fact more like standard practise???

still got your mealworms if you want some back???

this sort of post gives me the grots!!

try the local bird clubs,go to the anual bird sales,Fielding is the biggest but pukekohe,huntly and some others worth a look.bird clubs have newsletters that you could advertise through perhaps?

you still talking about lizards?

natural sunlight,I think she is meaning?

how do you "definatley" know its a she?

deserts like where they come from can have pretty cold nights so I figure they should be ok,they seem to be able to pick a dry spot and semi bury themselves for the night.I have my older female in with the water d`s and she spends alot of time in the water???

as long as they can get away from it if they feel the need to.Mine are outside now and have no heat during the night at all.have not heard any complaints from them yet?

:lol: was that an echo?(almost)
