G'day all,

 

This little guy/gal has decided to visit us this year. At almost 1m long this Carpet Python is the first one we have seen in the 10 years we have been here.

He sems to be using the plant (Ficus pumila ) as a hammock.

He is now holed up just above the frog pond on a ledge.

The pond cantains over 80 Motororbike frogs so I can't see him moving away any time soon.

 

Enjoy

G'day all,

 

Just got back from holidays, which included a week in Singapore.

If any of you are having a stop-over in Singapore I highly recommend a visit to the Sea Aquarium on Santosa Island.

There is a free shuttle bus from most hotels.

It is the biggest aquarium I have ever seen & just fantastic. We spent 2 hours there & could easily have doubled that.

A massive acrylic tunnel goes under the main marine tank where Hammer Heads & giant Rays can be seen.

Although there is only one community Malawi tank it is more than made up for with all the other tanks.

 

I took heaps of photos if anyone is interested in seeing them.

You can also Google the Sea Aquarium at Santosa.

If youre coming up to Perth anytime soon i will grab 4 clown loaches unless anyone want to halves in the clown loaches? Mandurah is a long way to go with fish on public transport.....

And I will take a heap of wood and hollow stones plus limestone.......  should make the trip worthwhile 

Some members may misunderstand the purpose of the Rescue scheme.

It is not a way of scoring free fish.

It was started so that instead of people disposing of their unwanted fish in local rivers & ponds etc, the PCS would rehouse them with experienced members who have the appropriate tanks to care for them.
There is not a choice of species, we get what people do not want.

Hope this clears it up
