Years ago I would never have believed that I would have gotten into keeping reptiles but I think they're gorgeous.

The funny thing is, I'm not at all scared of these guys, but I absolutely hate having to touch the crickets that I have to feed them. Does anyone have any tips on the best way to catch them?

The four valuable snakes, believed to be endangered green tree pythons, were found late last month by Customs and quarantine officers at the Sydney International Mail Centre, and are expected to be destroyed.

I heard through the grape vine.
He has been fined $3,300 I dont know any other details or if this is true or not but if this is the case.
I do not know this person All I know is what I read in the earlier locked post on APS that he was facing personal financial hardshipdue to his parents ailing health in South Africa.

I guess we as humans do tend to do silly things when pressured.
My question is what sort of a deterrent is this when you stand to make more out of the sale of one snake (GTP) than the fine itself.
I think the judicial system really has to take a good hard look at itself as in my oppinion this has just opened the door for others to take the chance & try to smuggle in other exotics that could very well be infected with any form of viruses or parasites a part from the obvious people just trying to make a quick buck at any cost. ]]> Exotics/Other Reptiles snakesrule http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/exotics-other-reptiles/smuggling-green-tree-python-83211 gecko a real grey colour http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/exotics-other-reptiles/gecko-a-real-grey-colour-83183 Thu, 15 May 2008 15:47:02 GMT hey i just looked at my smooth knobed gecko,and his a really gray colour,does this mean his gonna shed? thanks hey

I'm considering selling my spiny leaf insect and it's enlosure but I need some advice on what kind of price range I should be asking for.
Here are some general details:
Insect:
-female
-round about 8 months old (bought as a tiny baby in late september 2007-maybe 2-3 weeks old??)
-Missing one hook on one of front legs though does not seem to effect her in any way
-Very gentle, easy to handle :D

Enclosure:
-Haven't measured but guessing just under 2ft high.
-Hexagonal around 35-40cm across
-Black, made of wire mesh with tiny holes on black frame
-Excellent condition, about 9 months old
-Perfect for all insects

If you can help me out that would be great..either leave a post on the thread or pm me.

Thanks heaps

I know its been a while, But me and MoJo (Female eastern beardie) are still here and going good, Just had a change of jobs so haven't been on as much.

Anywho more to the point, MoJo who is approx a year old has decided that she will go onto brumation, I'm not sure if i should be letting her, coz i'm not sure if she is "fully grown", she has pretty big fat reserves and all but have read not to let them brumate unless they are adults. Not sure what age she will be considered an adult. Anyway if i shouldn't let her brumate how on earth do i stop her?? lol and if its ok to let her brumate, will i add a container of saw dust or something a little more "comfortable" for her to sleep in....
How long do i let her brumate?
should i wake to feed/water?
How long should i let her go with out food?

Thanks much guyz
