Hi all,
Mainly directed at the QLD and NT keepers, I am just wanting gauge the public perception of asian house gecko abundance... i.e. how many would some of you see on the walls or trees each night?
I have been speaking to the NPWS SA and have found a new method that will allow for keepers in SA to keep Burton's Legless Lizards without requiring animals that need to be force-fed (or assist-fed) rodents or their limbs.
It is not an offence in Qld to capture or humanely kill an exotic, such as the asian house gecko, and it is not an offence in SA to use dead exotic animals as a food source. Also, permits etc are not required for the transport of the dead animals as they are exotic.
My question is two-fold:
1) who has luck feeding dead animals to Burton's Legless lizards (using movement stimulation such as shaking, twitching etc to encourage feeding)?; and
2) would anyone be willing to catch and freeze approx. 20 asian house geckos and send them to Adelaide (with financial reimbursion of course)?
Regards,
Rocket
