1. The Red Belly came from Bob Gleeson. Don't know the sex yet. And please don't tell Patty it is there :)

2. The last place I saw the jungle vine was at Extreme Pets at Liverpool. Not sure if they still have it. Personally, I dont think it suites a Frilly cage cause they dont live in Jungles BUT the Boyds will be going in to that cage soon so then it will be fine.

...was wondering how you got around that! ;)

There's some big changes since I was over - a lot of new stuff - I knew they shouldn't have opened a Reptile Shop near you! ;) Looking forward to seeing some shots of the new pond/s(?) too...
 
Hey Col, how are ya mate :). I have grand plans of an outdoor turtle house with glass windows for viewing. It will be heated and will have more than 10,000 litres of water.

And here are some pics of the hatchy turtle pond. I have a heater in the waterfall section and keeping it at 24 degrees. Ther are lots of hiding spots. In fact, I haven't seen my current sle little long neck for days now. I hope to get some snappers and mary's from Craig & Gab. And yeah its under a roof so that it almost always has sun and shade.

Oh, and that "green thing" is an Emerald Tree Monitor. this is a species that can be found potentially in Cape York and the Torres Straight Islands but mainly in New Guinea. I took this photo at a pet shop in tokyo.

Wow! What have you NOT got in your backyard Pete :D Your turtle plans sound awesome. 10,000 litres - thats 10 times my 8foot fish tank I have in my shop - its just under 1000litres
 
awesome hatchy tank mate!!, where did u get the pond thingo?
and how big is it?

cheers
 
Hi Mitch. Firstly, I stole the whole idea from Craig & Gab Latta who posted a pic of a very similar pond a few months ago. The pond is actually an agricultural tub made by Reln Plastics in Ingleburn. It is 2.4m x 1.2m x .6m deep. I am sure that you can buy them from the Reptile Shop in Narellan. You will also need to develop your filtration. I use a pre filter and a UV light.

I have also added some pics of my pit that I took today. I have found a few young EWD's that have managed to survive the parents. The one in the last pic is now approaching 2 years old. He has never been fed by me. I think there are also two of last eyars hatchies but I cant get pics of them because as soon as I approach the cage they bolt. And I guess that is why they are still alive and not parent lunch.

Yes Peter the work you've done looks amazing. I have a bare backyard that 's in need of some landscaping. How nice to think it could be arranged like that. I might have start planting some repti-friendly trees and shrubs and think about some ideas :D

Love the red belly too. Gonna have one, one day.
