I believe a lot of the petitioning to local authorities in NSW on the licensing system has raised a similar point. Both systems in NSW are currently under review and I would imagine that a common...

I'm using the small BOC industrial grade CO2 canister. There is no need for a regulator as there is no need for a steady flow.

I also don't see why a regulator is required, you are dealing with a non-flammable gas in dosages that...

Mungus, I use a 100W Mercury Vapour for 4 hours in summer and 2 hours in Winter. This seems to be quite conducive with their natural behaviour of basking for a few hours a day and retreating to a...

I would say give it another year or two as she is probably a little underweight for a 2yo. Really you would probably want her up around 2-3kg to breed and I don't think you could do that in a summer.
