Hi Alex Of all European ratsnakes, the ladder snake is the one that likes the most heat. Keeping them outside would probably be too cold for them. I have them finally again after a break of about 15 years. At that time I bred them for generations so if any questions just catch me at soe@reptilia.dk Best wishes Søe Hi Soe, it doesn't look like i'll be getting the scalaris now unfortunately, as the supplier doesn't seem to know quite where the 'reply' button is on his or her computer!. Probably busy, yet still frustrating as i am/was a genuine buyer. I see your point on the ladder snakes, yet would argue that various species of southerly reptiles that favour the warmth i.e testudo hermanni/timon lepida etc do do well in outdoor vivaria during the summer months here in England. However, you have far more experience with the captive care of R.scalaris than me so i'm listening to what you're saying! . If, by a miracle, i do get these snakes then i'll certainly be in touch. Many thanks, alex

Anyone keep these? Hopefully picking up some in a couple of weeks, but with a view to keeping them in indoor vivaria. However, with caution exercised i see no reason why they can't be kept outdoors and then cooled inside overwinter. Be interested to know of any keepers/experiences.

Very nice Phil Something tells me this isn't going to be a good year breeding wise for another UK native, the Sand Lizard. The summers a complete washout!

The Wall Lizards down here are doing well because they start breeding relatively early in the year, and multiple clutch, so they're spreading fast!. As mentioned on another thread I don't think it'll be a good year for Sand Lizards sadly due to crap weather and the fact that only the first clutch of eggs tends to hatch, if they lay a second they invariably don't hatch in time...UK summers aren't long enough

Is the turkish gecko suitable for outdoorvivaria? any body any info on keeping them? Would be absolutely fine during the summer months but not sure if they'd survive a long cold English winter. Otherwise i'd of expected these to colonise our own ports, along with the meds Tarentola species. They are not a difficult-to-keep species by any means

Hi Alex I have a group of Emys. o.orbicularis originating from North Germany staying outside all year in my pond. They breed every year (every female every second year) and I have found babies outside. Only a few though so all nests found are dug op and the eggs placed in incubators. At this link you can read a story about them made bye my wife: www.reptilia.dk/Krybdyr_vi_holder_nu/Skildpadder/Sumpskildpadde/emys1eng.htmHope you enjoy it Best wishes Soe Really enjoyed that Soe, thanks for the link to your great Emys enclosure

Hi Killian, i incubate my eggs indoors just as a cautionary matter really. I have no doubt though, given a good summer, the eggs would develop outside. Maybe next year i'll leave a couple to see how they do, as the egg laying medium stays at a decent temperature. Slightly off topic but the Wall Lizards eggs incubate fully outside, they're the only eggs i leave to it

Tried this on another forum with no success, just interested to know if anyone else keeps this species? Doesn't seem to be many people out there keeping them...?. Mine breed every year and are extremely hardy, an excellent outdoor 'pond tortoise' .

Wanted Pleurodeles Waltl - for breeding. Age and sex immaterial! Thanks harry Hi Harry, Best place this advert at www.caudata.com or co.uk, you'll get a better result there. Don't forget it is illegal to buy European species of Amphibian etc now without proof of it being captive bred

Hi Mark, I think Miqe was meaning that he suffers from a bad memory . On the Eyed Lizard front, I will definitely be interested in some juveniles. Cheers, Alex
