New arrivals

[Lankyrob]

Now got our full collection setup. No more additions for now!

The GTP is still looking for a name, as is the JCP (who is still hiding so no pics yet). The Frilled Dragon is called Tilly.

The Frogs are still hiding also but will try to get more pics as they all settle in.

[infernalis]

The GTP is still looking for a name,

virens - Latin for green
gucamole
kryptonite
envy
Leif (play on words, Leif garrett, tree leaf)
Lou (Ferrigno) - The actor / body builder who was the original incredible hulk
Bill (Bixby) - see above

Do any of those help?

Very nice setup Rob, I only wish others who are as new at this as you are were this serious and good at it as you are!

[Lankyrob]

Thanks Wayne. We do our best for all our animals, you wouldnt believe how much internet time/reading time has been spent in the last 9 months on reptiles for me and the missus.

Not sure about Lou but "Ferrigno" is a possibility for the snake - nice to have a slightly "weird" name with a back story. Think the Jungle may end up as Jim - have called him Jungle Jim a few times now just off the cuff - may well stick!!

[Lankyrob]

Was about to go to bed when i saw this little thing poking his head out!! Luckily my camera sits within reach off my chair cos if i moved i think he would have disappeared again!

Say hello to Jim!

[Freebody]

nice little guy, hes got that looks of a grumpy old man doesnt he ? almost like hes thinking, what the hell is going on out here lol

[Will0W783]

Jungle Jim is an awesome name! If you want to continue in the humorous line of names, since your GTP looks like he likes to peek out from behind his perch and branches, how about Peeping Tom? Or how about Curiosity? Limoncello also sounds cool.

[emseeKAY]

awesome im really liking the vivs lol

[Grimleo]

Awesome critters Rob :D

You got a frilly named Tilly? Jealous here :P

[Lankyrob]

Well the Frilly is wifey's really but we share the care for all of them.

Think Ferrigno is still winning the name game at the moment for the GTP but still listening to suggestions............

Jungle Jim and Curiosity George, or George of the Jungle.

All most forgot sweet looking snakes. Congrats! Your GTP is beautiful. How old are they? Your frilly looks super sweet. I always want one. Can't wait to see the rest.

[mummylizard]

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! The support people has shown means alot to us. We know we're relative newbies still but like rob said we have read loads of material and gone into this with an open mind. We know this is a long term thing and are going to enjoy every moment of it.

Tilly the frilly has flaired her frill up a couple of times at us and the cats and dog but since we got her has calmed down alot and now lets me stroke her.

[Lankyrob]

The GTP is approx 6-8 months old and about 20 inches (hard to measure when its all coiled up on the perch but when he is climbing i have estimated against the size of the tub)

The JCP is a yearling, about 14 months old (and still hiding tho have now seen about 6 inches of him out of the hide!). He is about 2 and a half to 3 foot long - again this is an estimate in the time it took him to leave his delivery bag and slide into the viv and hide.

Tilly the frilly is about 2 years old we think (judging on her size) - she is almost fully grown - maybe a couple more inches of growth left. She also allowed wifey to hold her tonight so is settling very well.

The Tree frogs (still no pics yet) are x weeks old - they have recently been bred by the partner of the owner of our reptile shop.

[Grimleo]

have been contemplating the purchase of a frilly for a while, but now when I get it I have to resist the urge to name it billy xD

Your JCP is just about the same size and age as my own :D

[Lankyrob]

Well GTP ate for me today! Wasn't plannig on feeding it so soon after it arriving but had defrosted a rat pup for the young corns and one of them had gone blue overnight and wasnt interested in eating so offered it to the GTP and it was gone!!

Amazing to watch them feed upside down attached to teh perch! And glad that he is gonna be an easy feeder (fingers crossed!) :)
