thanks i have checked them out but was just wondering what everyone was using for there large enclosures

Hi folks I am just wondering what substrates everyone is using/recommended? I am going to be setting up some display vivs for a dumerils, beardies and various colubrids. I am looking for recommendations. I have been thinking about a eucalyptus mulch and bark mix. However going through all the previo...

Hey I have just heard from my local officials in kzn that even though we need a permit for pretty much every mammal, we don't need one for mink. So I was just wondering if anyone had any or knew of any in SA?

I have definitely thought about spotted pythons, saw a pair at he Durban expo 2 years ago and have been researching them ever since. I admit rainbow boas never even crossed my mind, are they not very secretive though? That's just what I have read online. I admit I over think things so am probably ma...

Thanks. I just didn't want to waste my time building cages that weren't suitable. I am probably going to be able to get 4 cages out of this wood so should be fun. Will definitely follow your advice. So if we were to say carpets were out of the question, would I be limited to things like milks and po...

Thanks for the reply. The length isn't the issue, because the board's are 2.4m long I can make the cage as long but I am limited to 45cm width and height. So I didn't know if that was suitable for a carpet python. I am supposed to be taking in someone's red tail when they go overseas but if and when...

Hi, my family is replacing a cupboard and I have told them that I want the old melamine. I will be able to get quite a few boards that are 2.4m x 45cm. So initially I was planning on building a few cages 1.2m x 45cm x 45cm but now I am wondering, is this wide enough? Would a carpet python be comfort...

thank you i will definitely look out for it. at the moment after speaking to an electrician frien of my fathers who came to explain the thermostat, i have removed the cable and have replaced it so it is alot closer together so it essentially looks like a keating pad, so far it has heated up faster b...

hi guys, if anyone can help me it will be greatly appreciated. I have finished my rack and had installed 22W 6.8m heat cable that i had bought from a local pet shop, it is a Komodo (Akwa) product. i installed it with 5cm gaps and it goes 4 times under each tub, and i also have it sandwiched between ...

Ok thank you well that is wonderful, do you recommend the big jim crates or space savers for adilts? I have been doing research and I have seen a picture of breeders in the durban area using both for their adults. I would like to give them the best tubs I can organise. So would having a wider tub be...

o thank you very much every time i have se out to buy the supplies to build my rack i have had an attack of conscience as to whether or not the tubs would be suitable. just for interest sake what would be the right tub for balls? these are the largest clear tubs that i can find here in PMB. but anyw...
