We selling both Crested and Gargoyle geckos at Reptile Garden based inside Stodel nursery on Eversdal Rd bellville. They are the easiest of captives and I have never had one drop a tail with handling even with kids parties.

Obviously these are not skittish individuals and they are handled gently.

Agreed! These are awesome snakes, I so forgot about this post. Very interesting species to keep but watch your fingers for the ones with an appetite of a Reticulated pyhon. Had a few people chopped on, that work at my park with a few. Shame even the girlfriend. Of which there was no harm unless you ...

Arno, Lourance did try and get hold of you but it went to voice mail.

As you say it just takes an allergic reaction and then there is trouble. When I felt like I might pass out it was fairly worrying.

Yes I rather take on most python bites before a monitor. They can be potentially mutilating.

I personally don't think that the venom of Rock Monitors is used for hunting but they are related to the Komodo Dragon. I do think it makes a massive difference to how you are bitten and duration. Then it may also affect certain people and not others. Venom is very complex and when you hear of guys ...

If you read the heading and your thinking what is this guy on about then just hear me out. On Sunday we were going to clean the glass of the one Rock Monitor cages. So I wanted to get the little guy (snout to vent around 40cm) out first but he has a heavy feeding response. As I opened the glass he c...

Huge congrats! Will be in contact.

Thanks guys, Draco is already going for it again but man is he driving the girls wild and not in a good way. I am selling the babies but only to responsible keepers who can provide the space an adult requires. So thats an indoor and outdoor enclousure. These don't belong in a flat unless they have a...

Thanks, I have produced them before but last year the eggs I got went bad for some reason. This time it went a lot better!

Hi All, It has been a good while since I have posted on the forum. Lots has been happening at Reptile Garden but this tops my list. So I have put a little story board of pictures below. Hope you all enjoy. I placed her into a safe area to lay her eggs. She dug a long tunnel that kept collapsing so s...

Thanks so much. I am glad you enjoyed it. The feed back so far has been great and yes we still want to do some work on the shop. We are selling rodents but need to get our feeder insect section off the ground. We do have a few nice animals for sale and more to come so keep posted on your FB page htt...

I have found that sikaflex multipurpose works the best. It goes hard like rubber and bond almost anything. Just sand the underneath of the track so it makes for better bonding. Stuff is not that cheap which is the only problem.
