Better off looking under landscaping suppliers

Just thought of another idea - router out a groove in the sides for the sliding doors to fit right into, then the dragons would not be able to get any purchase on the door to slide it.

You can buy catches that stop sliding doors from being opened - OR - just drill a hole in the slid track and put a stopper in it to stop the doors from opening.

Ahh i see

Why are you calling these misfits, lol ? I thought they were run of the mill varieties ?

Stunning ! Bet you are pleased to have them home

Funny, i was thinking just the same thing :-)

Apparently a higher water temp also increases faster growth.

setting up a tank like a stream should not be too hard. must be more to it than that - maybe volume of water ? or depth (creating certain pressure ?

are you saying they have tank bred them that way ?

So it would not take much to get quite a farm going would it ?

Why are they so hard to breed ?

Has anyone successfully bred them in NZ ?

So are the numbers on the right representing the numbers of eggs a female will lay in each of the years indicated on the left ?

I have often thought that - and they would make good grow out tanks too probably ?

how much were the test pots ?

you could always buy a plastic heater guard

I think the main issue is the small number of eggs they produce each year. Am I right ?

Fair enough - didnt know if it was an option or not

Problem is controlling whether they remain just pets of someone decides to be unscrupulous - is there a way of desexing them ? I guess if a reptile breeder is selling a $1500 gecko and desexing is possible they should be responsible and have that done if its possible just like cat breeders do ? Do you reckon ?

Personally id be giving it 2-3 days for the paint to dry off completely and be on the safe side After all, whats a couple of days ?

Thats alright - the second batch should not be long behind the first, (hopefully hehe) Cant wait to see a tank full of 100 Calvus though - with a few marlieris or leleupi to give a cool colour contrast hehe.

I would imagine Johannes will not try to sell them at the same scandalous price the ones are on offer from Hollywood for. And I would hope Hollywood would also not be silly enough to pay the price they did again, thus forcing themselves into the position of having to charge what they have. As Ryan has said, the hardest thing is getting them to a safe size and I understand the ones in the store are barely there. Too much of a risk at that price - even if you are "super-keen" or even "super-douper-keen" :lol: :lol:

where do u get that nice thick poly from ?

sometimes its worth adding a couple more females to see if that changes things. But you are right - if he harasses the same one all the time she could end up stressed (could end up in whitespot outbreak) or worse.
