  1. keep them in the dark,when you open them up they all try and hide from the light.they want to be warmer as in hotwater cupboard etc
  2. $1 reserve on trademe,make sure you put buyer to pay freight,other than that LA`s birthday must be coming up?
  3. how do you cope with the excess UV rays you must be getting with that solar panel up there?
  4. your`s looks very reptilian though?there is an exeption to every rule? :rotf:
  5. never too late for some serious sunlight?think what he has missed out on in terms of lost uv??can`t do him any harm and probably alot of good.
  6. these 2 are outside october till whenever ??? I feel like getting them in?never used to be able to keep them together but have done this year,still a bit of headbobing etc but nothing untoward.She dug a big nest hole this year and I thought she was going to lay but no eggs(thank goodness)
  7. What you call old iD?i still have the parents of the ones you got from me?
  8. I never had a water source other than the fresh grass standing tightly packed into small jars.Some grasses can be toxic in their own right and various rusts,fungi etc could also do it?rye grass would only be eaten under starvation,not by choice.
  9. he must be the cheapest pet you have had to feed?
  10. sounds like insecticide to me?spraydrift can go a fair way if conditions are right,perhaps your neighbours may have had the house done etc?has the room they are in been done at some stage,maybe even the bran may be treated for weevils???
  11. you can also go to goat island marine reserve,fewminutes down the road and also worth a look.
  12. i have seen round plumb ones that are infertile and also fertile ones that have gone mouldy,you do`nt even have to touch or pick hem up to candle them. once you have had a few sucesses and failures you know what to look for and how to deal with what happens. I woulf go back to basics,eggs in lidded containers with pre moistened vermiculite etc half burried in medium and covered with a moist paper towel,check weekly.if towel is dry remoisten,if not do nothing and so on till end of incubation.To be honest i have never used a humidity gauge for any of my reptile hatchihgs till this year.Birds are different kettle of fish.
  13. yes,thats the place mine come from.just did a quick google,the juragon is an rcom product.based on my bird one yours would be a good product.they would have the same technology inside for temp control/humidity and as i said the bird one worked brilliantly,bear in mind that any incubator,no matter what price is only as good as the place you are running it in(wide temp variances make it hard for any machine to do a good job?)
  14. all depends what you want to do and probably more importantly what quantities of eggs?i have used alsorts of homemade contraptions,to waterbed drawers and hotwater cupboards.when it comes to wanting precise temps the factory mades are worth getting.your basic hovabator is probably best for efficiency and price but there are alot better ones out there for not alot more.i have recently had a good experience with an Rcom for birds and based on that would have a serious look at the reptile one which I have seen for $650 somewhere?
  15. just chuck them into ahalf filled bucket with a few lettuce leaves and keep them out of he sun!
  16. i only dig them up and rebury them??
  17. yeah,those are hers,two more clutches coming along plus some bonus ones from a new female I aquired.(unrelated)
  18. still up for it,just the question of the time I was frog marched into the doctor`s a few years back?? :dunno:
  19. snails are vermin in your pond.what they most like to eat is fish spawn?
  20. got a belly like yours LA?? :sml1:
