broms2 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hi, anyone around Auckland that are keeping native skinks, gecko. I am a member of the NZ herp society and am trying to find someone that can show me the best way to set up for keeping them, i've almost got all the material I need but want more ideas on the enclosures and husbandry, want to get going soon so I can get my first permit, any help would be appreciated.

davidb Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 give me a pm if you want me to show you round the displays I manage at the Auckland Museum. Unfortunately I won't be able to show you the big behind the scenes enclosures because of Quarantine restrictions etc, but I'll happily show you around the Displays. (We have Northland green geckos, brown forest geckos and shore skinks) (As well as Seahorses, Bees, Eels, Locusts, Spiders, Frogs, Cockroaches, Wetas, Native F.W fish and Crayfish, Native aquatic insects, Crays, Crabs, Starfish, Kina, Anemones etc ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navarre Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 doesnt the herpt society have a husbandry section on their web site? and you could try the DoC site as well as they have a few suggestions in their Tuatara and Native Repitle pages.

Yeah i've got all that, really want to see some setups first hand and find out what works best so I do it right first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
