|  | Impatient Snake Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Sydney Gender:  | | | Reptile Boy - There is usually some stuff for sale - but not always. Members may be selling off reptiles or someone may have some accessories for sale - it all depends on the night...
This week Ryan will be talking about captive husbandry of Blueys and then Pete will be discussing making an incubator...
...and then, depending on how old you are, we will go to the pub

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-05 Location: Sydney Age: 43 | | | | Well firstly, the incubator that we make on the night will be for sale for whatever cost the materials are so that will be a bargain for anyone that thinks they will have their first clutch of eggs this season.
ALSO....... if you think you may be having yoru first clutch (and I know people rang me in panic's last year cause they got them when they didn't excpect them) the come along and learn about incubators and incubating eggs.
The incubator discussion will show how to make a simple esky incubator and then show some more complex designs using fridges.
We will also show how to place the eggs in vermiculite and will have vermiculite available for sale. We will bascially cover things like temperature dependent sex determination, humidity, incubation time variations and some good books on incubating eggs.
And add to that that Ryan will show off a complete collection of Australian Blueys.
