gremlin Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi everyone :bounce: Where to start where to start??? Well I currently live in Whangarei....cold, rainy Whangarei. Arrived in your country on the 28th of June 2008 so almost 3 months now!! Im enjoying myself so far BUT miss my reptiles from back home expecially my boids & elapids but hey, you can have everything! Ive kept: snakes: red tail boa's, albino burm, ball pythons then common (to SA) brown house snakes, corn snakes. Other: bearded dragons I, ignorantly, thought that NZ didnt have any great reptiles because I know there are no snakes here but found out you have 80 different species of lizards. So....Hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedazzled Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi and welcome Gremlin There are a few of us here from Whangarei, I think most of us are addicted to fish though, not reptiles Although, I do love reptiles, just the price of them puts me off :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Welcome. Unfortunately you need a permit to keep many of the native lizards. But someone else will be able to advise you better. http://www.reptiles.org.nz/ May help to give aditional info. However we do have bearded dragons,blue tongue lizards and water dragons available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba Sam Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi Gremlin, Welcome to NZ, Northland, and the forum. You will find that if you get out of town there is far less rain - just get out to the coast, rainfall is heaps lower!! If you get withdrawal symptoms for reptiles, there is a reptile park about an hour and a half south - just north of Auckland. Cheers, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
