Shoultsy11 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 wow, nice pets all we have are 2 rats, a hampster, a tropical comunity fish tank and 30 praying mantises!!! :on_the_quiet: :on_the_quiet: :laugh2: :laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's a lot of mantids I used to keep a few different fish tanks too. The last lot were all Walstad method natural tanks but when I was younger I had community tanks but they were a bit like concentration camps for fish as I was a lot less patient back then! I really want to have a nice big planted tank again but when you move around a lot it's a nightmare for keeping anything big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocky71 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Nice beasts, that tokay really does look grumpy!, they always are from what I remember but have amazing colours. What species is the snake?, nice markings.. I had a royal Python and a 4ft iguana amongst other beasts, also jungle nymphs, spectre's leaf insects, giant green day geckos, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Ah nice I do like day geckos. I think after my finaly tokay dies I'll stick to a pet that doesn't require livefood. Tokays are grumpy but defo handleable, you just don't have to make them feel restricted or really stroke them unless you want a bite lol/ The snakes were puff adders.

Blocky71 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 That was why I ended up with the iguana, predominantly vegetarian as adults so I didn't have the arse ache of the live foods. You had a puff adder as a pet?. There was a guy near me who had 2 crocodiles confiscated from him, he'd turned a room in his bungalow into a pond for them !

Muel Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah live food sucks, so much easier if you can just either buy your veg from the supermarket or just get a freezer full of frozen food for them. Yeah I had 2, they were quality but I couldn't keep them due to moving house. Moving home regularly doesn't mix well with hobbies like growing cps and keeping strange pets!

Blocky71 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Lovely looking beasts indeed but I wouldn't have the confidence to keep venomous snakes. Do you hold a licence or were they " undeclared "?. They are usually pretty grumpy snakes from what I read, not a good combination. I've moved 4 times in last 2 years, fish tanks, pets, plants etc etc, it isn't much fun. Hoping to stay put for a while now at least...

Muel Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah licenses are only valid at the address you get them for so moving house would mean applying loads of times and the councils make it extremely expensive and awkward to do. They were very grumpy You really need training to safely work with them. Similar to me then with the moving; I've decided no more aquariums or pets until I actually buy a house. Also I have to be really selective about what plants I buy too Edited November 19, 2014 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
