Plants for native lizards

Recommended Posts

Hi I am hiving another go at setting up an outdoor native gecko terrarium

what kinds of plants do the NZ green tree geckos like?

I was thinking of setting up a tank with alot of ferns but alot of them get to big for the terrarium

I was hoping to put them in what smaller ones are there that are still safe.

(by the wat I am getting one of these for my birth day to put them in)

What do you mean by having another go?

asked keeper if you need a permit etc he said yes and there worth $40,000 on the black market

Sweet, I have 160k sitting here in that case.

40k overseas maybe, not in nz though.

Done use ferns, they are slow growing and will get broken. Cant remember what I'm using right now, but will post when i remember.

That enclosure you linked in no good IMO

one of the reasons they are soo expensive overseas is that they are ileagally potched and arnt supoosed to be kept theyd get a massicve fine if cuaght

only if they are caught at our border,once out of the country its open slather,I have heard you can even buy tuataras overseas?don`t know what the price would be but $40,000 for green geckoes,the mind boggles?Also reptile keeping is another dimension to what we are used to here.

The reason they are expensive is they are rare...

AFAIK at one stage they exported them legally and thats where 99% of the overseas stock has come from
