[waruikazi]

That's just plain old rude MM! Just rub salt into the wound why don't you. You are truly blessed when it comes to selection of animals.

 

[waruikazi]

WHat's the diff between captive bred and captive formed?

 

[NCHERPS]

MM,
Are you in the Trade then?

Who are the big Importers out there now?
Peter from EcoRep still importing from Indonesia?

Neil

 

[pythoness]

ohhhhh (insert homer simpson drool here) i want one of everything

 

[alienpunk]

damn, ill take an Asian hissing scorpian and a SNow Corn thanks.......that is an awesome selection .....but hey i bet when the kids overseas see our amazing variety they think the same...imagine what they think of GTP's and our Jungles

 

[Retic]

STOP IT............................Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

 

[Magpie]

Captive bred means bred from animals that are held in captivity, Captive farmed means they take the parent animals from the wild and hold them in large, naturalistic pens until they breed. I'm no expert, but I believe they often just take gravid females from the wild.

 

[Moreliaman]

Hi Neil,
I don’t usually buy from peter & co ! Although I would imagine he’s one of the larger importers & some of the livestock i buy from wholesalers was originally imported by him,
I have heard they are trying to open up some big import farm in Indonesia !! Catching stuff from the wild & throwing it in an enclosure until it dumps its offspring ! Then import it in bulk to UK & anyone else that wants to buy !
I’ve also heard peter Blake is trying to invest in with him, but how much of it is true I don’t know (you know what rumours are like in this trade! :roll: ) personally I can't imagine Mr Blake having the financial back up required for such a large scale investment !
(Mr blake is the owner of the shop where adam ockwell (an employee) was recently tagged by a hannah ! I believe adam has lost one of his fingers ! that’s what happens when you’re complacent with vens I guess !)
I used to have a reptile shop here in the UK, and when dealing with certain suppliers you tend to make friendships with some & they then become more than just a supplier (I’m sure its the same with you & your suppliers) so I am still able to buy stuff trade & frequently get sent lists, I don’t advertise, just sell to friends, friends of friends & old customers tend to contact me when they want something. Lets face it, once you get involved with reptiles….you’re usually hooked for life !!

waruikazi - magpie has answered it really......CB is offspring from captive bred stock............CF is exactly how magpie suggests, the gravid females are re-released once they've laid

You can buy GTPs over there as cheap as.

 

[Retic]

AlienPunk, they don't have to think like that because the benefit is they can get Jungles and of course GTP's for $500.

 

[Moreliaman]

yep.....hatchling gtp's are about £200-£250 stirling ea, cheaper if you buy more ! ( i think its around $2.40 + £1.00)

 

[Sdaji]

I know the grass is supposed to be greener on the other side, but I can't see one reptile on that list which I'd prefer over our natives. We live in the best country in the world, overall and when it comes to reptiles. I'm very greatful, but complain as much as you like

 

[Retic]

I think you're being a bit precious, no-one has said anything about things being better than we have here or where the best country in the wold is, MM merely posted a list of very small number of the animals available overseas and of course they have most of what we have as well.

 

[MrBredli]

I agree, nothing on that list tickles my fancy at all.

hear hear! wel said Sdaji i agree

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!! :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing though, interesting.

 

[Retic]

There are 2 's' in Aussie. I thought you might have known that being an Aussie Aussie Aussie :lol:

 

[Retic]

I must admit there are only probably 12 species on that particular list that I would have but I am able to see the beauty in any snake regardless of it's origins. :wink:

 

[Jungle_Freak]
