alanmin4304 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Please add your location. I think you cannot keep geckos from the "other Island" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptile_maniac Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I purchased the exact same cage about a month ago i think now, its great quality only problem i have had is the locks on the door have already started to rust but you can replace those easily.

Mazonic Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hey josh What geckos did you get? Any trouble with permit or was it care free? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broms2 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 you need to get the cage first, the one on TM is a good cage to start with. contact your local DOC office http://www.doc.govt.nz/footer-links/contact-us/office-by-name/?mode=details&office=211 first you will need to get the cage inspected then start looking for Gecko, the Auckland greens or forest gecko are a good starter and usually not hard to get. Also a good idea to join the society as most keepers belong also. http://www.reptiles.org.nz/ Good luck and keep in mind, natives are addictive!

Mazonic Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Cheers what native you got??? better sell some stuff !!!! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazonic Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 My friend has one the same similar design to the one on trade me but has two compartments and a glass front? around the same size will get photo but then could i have greens and forests next to each other???? also is there a chance DOC in auckland wont give me permit even if my cage is right and approved ( limited permits) because dont want to spend $400 and no permit?

Mirio Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I don't think they will decline you if you fit the enclosure criteria, possible, but unlikely IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptile_maniac Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I haven't got my permit yet I'm just trying to get all my money together haha Yeh Auckland greens look good to start out with and maybe a forest gecko. Only thing with the cage on trade me I think I will have to drill drainage holes in the bottom to fulfill doc requirements. Does anyone no if when the doc guy comes around to inspect the cage do you have to have all the plants and stuff in it or can it just be empty?

reptilez Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 i am pretty sure he wants to see it setup so he knows the living conditions that they need are provided...i had to have all the bits and bobs there when he inspected my enclosure...

Mazonic Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 So they want the setup ready for geckos to arrive? Reptilez did you have any trouble getting your geckos and what did ya get? thanks :cofn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
