yeah for sure. just message me through your address again

50 seeds from a pachanoi mother for trade. scops were flowering at the same time. the pods opened a week ago. heres the mum

yeah theres heaps everyone. get some! is these any chance of the pedro pollinating itself? i've been told no but the scops were in the greenhouse so would be very hard for their pollen to make it to the pedro...

no this is from a private garden. that wee button is happy as on a pachanoi. bottom is still on its roots and pushing out a pup. shot kea!

most of this is at the ti point reptile park north of auckland. well worth the drive on a sunny day for auckland members. apart from the chameleons, bearded dragons and tortoises the lizards are native to nz giant galapogos tortoise auckland green gecko rough geckko pacific gecko forest gecko forest gecko gettin some pohutakawa nectar. it's their fav duvaucel gecko otago skink i think tuatara. feeding these guys was so much fun chameleon babys beardys?

yeah blowng when you first go into his enclosure he is frightened and withdraws but the keeper just strokes his legs for a while untill hes comfortable. then he stands up as high as he can and puts his head back like that and lets you do whatever. they do this in the wild and the birds get the parasites off them. he's a cool dude ay and hes had a hard life... he was originaly at auckland zoo untill he got an infected dick and it had to be amputated. since he cant mate anymore he gets jeleous when the others get it on and does what he can to sabotage their attempts. so afew years ago he was gifted to ti point. i think hes around 40

nah no other cool pets... yeah that shot of the chameleon is my favourite. you can only keep chameleons and tuataras on a zoo permit tho which i hear is very pricey.

haha. yea they're both pretty epic. the forests and pacific geckos are mine. you can keep them with a permit from department of conservation. soon i'll be aplying for my next permit so i can get the duvaucels. they're our biggest gecko. once you have your permit doc will put you onto a breeder that will give them to you. then you can breed them and trade them with other permitted breeders. buying selling or taking NZ lizards from the wild is highly illegal so do it the rite way. unless you want some aussie ones then you dont need a permit, wich is crazy. australian lizards are a pretty big threat to our wild life if they escape. i was lucky enough to see one of my forests give birth to twins this year, live birth too wich is handy!

yeah the tuataras are so cool. that one is about 9 years old and they still don't know the sex at that age. yea i saw a pretty big monitor in the bush in WA. they are dam scary

37cm from the same batch would like to trade for loph but will consider other offers.

the seller of these said they were grown from imported pachnoi seeds. they dont look very pachnoi to me so i was wondering if any1 thinks they look like a peruvianus or pachnoi x peruvianus or something else all together? peruvianus is my best guess but i havnt really grown any true torches to compare to and the first one looks like pics i see of peruvians on here

my opinion is the dot in the middle is from a spine of another cactus the black is just it bruising. they heal up fine but will leave a little scar. although if it does spread it could be some kinda infection but i doubt it.

oh yea true. i just got an icaro peruv seedling 2 but mines tiny. the spine colour is the same as #1 and 3 tho

got a sweet as bridgesii seedling today but it has some prety bad scale. even tho neem oil isn't really supposed to kill bugs would a strong dose of it suffocate the scale bugs?

sweet thanks. yeah id already scrubbed it b4 this foto, there was some heavy scale in the ribs. i didnt mind tho cos i talked the price down $8. theres alot of mis labelling going on out there ay. i've got some "pachnois" off this same lady that had very long spines but she says they were grown from pachnoi seeds, so i guess the seed supplyer got label wrong or they've been crossed. but i do trust this as being bridgesii. there was abit of variation in her bridgesii's but this is the form that comes to mind when i think of them...

thought some people might get a little tehehe outa this

sweet man thats what i suspected. got it from a plant shop in a group planting. might go back and get the rest. cheers

anyone got some theyre willing to sell/trade?

this bridge seedling is the only one of 10 that germinated and after afew months the seedling enclosure got knocked off the shelf by a cat. i sifted through the carnage to find my bridgesii seedling with almost no roots. good candidate fot some grafting i thought and grafted the top onto a myrtil and the bottom onto a pach seedling. the bottom took nicely but the top didnt and just shrivled and blackened. then something magical happened. i noticed the top graft being pushed off by a tiny root bud, so i put it on some pumice and 2 weeks later its greened up and has a real nice looking root. its 7mm wide at the most. these things amaze me more every day.

true thanks, quite a turn in events in that case cuzco's are sick! this is a new favourite of mine. very unique

i've been sold this as a cuzco in new zealand and the seller told me that what makes it a cuzco is the pairs of downwards pointing spines... is this totally wrong? they same dude sold me this as a bridgesii, but it looks more like what you're saying a cuzco is...?

got a similar one sold to me as a bridgesii and then this one i got as a cuzco "because its got the pairs of downwards facing spines" the seller told me...
