I had the most awesome conversation with my boss today. He's very keen to assist me to attempt to create a thorny devil enclosure. At this stage we plan to do it on my property( we both felt it would work better that way due to staffing inconsistencies, etc at the park as it would allow us to keep better track of the activities of the animals) and if we can get it running well then I'll create an exhibit for the wildlife park.
So if anyone has actually kept these animals and would be able to offer any constructive advice to a wildlife park keen to set something up can you please contact me. My boss will be travelling to Alice Springs in a few weeks and will be collecting some ant colonies for me so that will be the most difficult step in the process started, if anyone is able to offer any advice on correctly identifying the species needed and the easiest way to collect a queen please let me know. I'm off to start my extensive research now but I can't imagine there will be a whole lot of readily available information on captive husbandry.
Sorry I can't remember your user name but the person who worked at Melbourne Museum in my other thread I'd love to chat to you either here or via PM. My boss is pretty sure he knows who your contact is that you referred to so sourcing animals won;t be an issue but I'd love to get a hold of someone at the Museum next time I'm in Melbourne and see if I can organise to visit with them and see the set up there. Happy to organise it myself but would love to know who best to contact.
