TV 1, 7.30 tonite, saw the shorts, lizards on

saw that aswell looks interesting

well i cant watch it coz mum wants to watch extrem make over home edition, and dad took my tv into work

poor things. At least they were all rescued and survived the socks

I can see why they wanted them, they're awesome looking creatures!!

No justification for what they did tho.... :evil:

I thought it was amazing they all survived. Makes you wonder though how many don't get picked up..

No justification at all but yeah they looked really cool

yeah and we can get them all here in NZ

what sort were they ?

Carnt remember the name, can we really get them here?

Shingleback, can't get them in nz

i heard we could 8)

can too,even the odd one in private hands.Ti point has a couple also napier aquarium had a few courtesy of Freddie Angel(deceased)

my bad

there were shingle backs, a bearded and a large snake neck turtle.

-yay i have held a shingle back before in ozzy

Well you can also "get" lions, tigers, rhino, piranha, etc "in new zealand".

There might be some at places like napier aquarium, and even the odd one in a private collection, but is anyone breeding them? You cant really "get" them like you can a bearded dragon.

I take it someone tried to smuggle these creatures in...in socks :-?

Caper

er, it wasn't a snake neck turtle was it slevin?

Yes caper. They were in boxes and inside the boxes each animal was stuffed into a tied up sock. They were not well at all

yeah there was one snake neck it was big!

I thought it was something other than a snakeneck. Someone will confirm

trust me they even said an eastern longneck turtle which is a chelodina longicollis or eastern australian snake neck turtle

ohk

You cant really "get" them like you can a bearded dragon.
