rankinia diemensis

I recently became the proud parent of a couple of Mountain Dragons. Someone moving on their reptile enclosure and setup, with 2 inhabitants. These are my first dragons, though I’ve kept skinks for a while. I’m wondering about brumation and heat lights and feeding and things. One of the dragons...

Hi, Just curious which year the licensing system review is? Also any idea what might change in terms of reptiles and amphibians listed under the scheduals 2, 3 and 7? Really hoping some more Varanus sp are added, such as Varanus glauerti. Also hoping N.asper and N.amyea are moved to basic.... I...

Hi, are rankinia diemensis even on license in Victoria? I have been on the DEPI website and looked under the taxa that may be kept files for both basic and advanced but could not find them. I was under the impression that they were on license in VIC and I hope I'm not mistaken. I currently have...

I have an enclosure that is 135CM long / 80cm high / 30cm deep. Because it is so shallow I was wondering if it is useless. I would like to put any type of dragon or monitor in it except a bearded dragon. No geckos. Have I got a dud enclosure?
