Fooble one never knows for sure that the animal that was killed for meat was killed humanely. However SA has laws protecting animal rights and dictating how abatoirs can and cannot slaughter animals, so one hopes that in most cases slaughtering is done in a humane manner. I don't think many people a...

I'm with Fooble on this one, you asked questions which he tried to help you with, if you don't want advice then don't ask for it.

ps. Good luck with the book

What a sick nation, how the hell do peolple get pleasure out of an animal suffering. Its a different story if an animal is killed humanely, but this just sick and cannot be justified.

Thanks for the comments.The cage is 90cm x 50cm x 50cm. I use extenal heating pads on the top, side & back of the cage (controlled by a thermostat), it keeps the warm side of the cage at about 27-28 degrees and the cool side at about 23-24. I use a small full spectrum bulb for a bit of light. I ...

I moved my male Chondro into his new cage this morning, he seems to be settling in nicely, I am busy finishing a new cage for my female, will post pics next weekend. http://www.sareptiles.co.za/gallery/albums/userpics/13724/CHONDRO_024.JPG http://www.sareptiles.co.za/gallery/albums/userpics/13724/CH...

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

Could the type of wood used to construct the tank influence fumes given off, I am using supa wood, would something like pine be better to use?

Hi All Can anybody suggest a good sealant for a wooden cage that will house Chondro's, the cage will need to handle high levels of humidity. I have used Woodoc 50 Exterior marine sealer (lead free) on the 1st of the 2 cages I am building, but I cannot seem to get rid of the varnish smell even though...

I was bitten by a Stilletto about 14 years back and it was no fun, was transporting what was supposed to be a purple glossy snake for a friend. Necked the snake only to be bitten twice on my finger, had a lot of swelling all the way up my arm and into my neck. Spent the night in hospital, symtoms cl...

Anybody have any advice on my question above please?

All of the hatchlings are eating well apart from one, which I have managed to force feed once. Keeping in mind that they are now 3 months old, how long do I leave this last hatchling without eating before it becomes cruel to keep it alive, should I rather put it in the freezer. I have tried all the ...

Thanks BV, the worm was dead, so hopefully the parasite flush is working,

Another question how many times should I repeat the deworming, as I said I've injected during the last two feeds?
