dennis Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 the doc guy down here said they will not give a permit to any thing with more than one glass wall and will not give you a permit for inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 the doc guy down here said they will not give a permit to any thing with more than one glass wall and will not give you a permit for inside wow that pretty hard out. but rules are rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 so indoors are a no for sure? ok ill have to build an enclosure then i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 wow that pretty hard out. but rules are rules They need UV, and glass filters out that UV if your going to build one, best thing to do is a layer of fly mesh, 3cm gap then a layer of metal mesh to keep cats/ect out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 exo terras have mesh tops , that with uv light on top should do the yrick i would of thought. should have enough air flow, would be similar to public setups , but yea rules are rules..

Navarre Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 it would seem that it is up to local officer. but preference is for outside enclosures. good plans on NZ heptological society web site. another point of interest is that a lot of NZs herpts are nocturnal but that seems to not interest people when you wish to discuss just how much UV does a nocturnal herpt require...lol Good luck with permit application and I can highly recommend herpt society for their help etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repto Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 the `nocturnals` have been knowen to bask in natural sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 lol this I know and it is amazing to see the aborials move with the sun and they too need "less"...lol. Loose Loose or win win unless you are me...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broms2 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have both Nocturnal and Diurnal gecko and they all sun bask together at different times of the day. A.PROPHECY, why don't you make a good outdoor enclosure and then once you have your permit have them inside if you want? I personally prefer them outside = very cheap on power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillz Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Many of the "nocturnal" reptiles wont actively forage during the heat of the day but will still sun bask. Occurs with many captive species (duvaucels, forests,robusts, tuatara) not sure if it is the case with there wild counterparts. The sun is very powerful medicine, why go artificial?

A.PROPHECY Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 yea i mite just build an outdoor one then but ill still see what doc thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Maybe have the enclosure on the outside but have a window in your wall, that way you can view from the inside but have access to sunlight/environment for the main enclosure, if you know what i mean.
