I have a 200L tank which housed goldfish who are now in the pond. The tanks temp varies between 16-24 degrees Celsius throughout the year. I don't want to put a heater in as I would maybe like a stickleback or two. I read that some plecos/catfish like that temp and danios, minnows What species...

Last month, we visited a local wildlife hide to see some red squirrels. Here's a few pics of the l'il cuties!

Hi, I'm looking for some millipedes to put into a live build vivarium for some chameleons, need some small ones, such as some native ones, I don't want to go searching for them because so far I've only found one and had a disaster! if anyone could help I'd be grateful! Rhys

I don't think I've quite grasped how to attach photos properly but i'm working on it! Hope this works for now! enjoy :) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153737226456111&l=1c3ae1e795 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153737225891111&l=ce930e16a2...

I have created this thread because I think that out native amohibians are all too often overlooked and ignored. One of the best things to do for UK native amphibians is make a garden pond. I have a wildlife pond and I eagerly await the arrival of amphibians every spring. I feel that our native...

Hello people, As the university term is underway I find my brain acutely focus to everything other than my chosen subject. At the moment I'm preoccupied with the lizard native to us - Zootoca/Lacerta Vivipara or the Common lizard. Is anyone on here keeping them at present? Does anyone breed...

Hi all! I was thinking about trying to breed one of the most interesting arachnid species in Britain, Megabunus diadema. Have a look at it on google, it looks so cool! On top of that it's parthanogenic, so it should be a really fun species to breed! As its a native Brit, I was planning on...

Just wondering, who here keeps small/native spiders, like house spiders, crab spiders, jumping spiders etc. I used to be big time into jumping spiders and crab spiders, but last spiders I had were just a crab spider and an ordinary garden spider. who else likes native/small spiders?

Went over to a close friends today and my other half decided to have a good hunt for beasties :)

This is just some pictures of my survey I do every Sunday =D, The blue and purple slow worm is one of the best i've seen so look out for him and no grass snakes this week but we did find some skin :) And when im in the water im just saving the smooth, palmates and GCN :2thumb...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so here's a quick introduction! I am a Biologist working at a public aquarium, having worked here since 2010. Previously I studied a BSc in Marine Biology and Zoology and a Masters degree in Marine Biology. To the present! The public aquarium is currently...

I was wondering if many people keep native species I.e grass snakes and adders (natix natix & vipers berus) < Latin names off memory so probably wrong.

Is anyone else here fond of our native fish species? Do you like fishing for them, watching them, keeping them...? =] I have had the good fortune to see some small, under a foot long pike hunting. Most spectacular! Not quite the same as the big beasts though. I'm also rather fond of bullheads...

If you like spiders you most likely like webs too. I thought it would be cool if there was a thread where people can post their photos of different webs, even better if you can manage to get the spider on it too. To start it off here's a few I took this morning of some Araneus spp. webbing in...

Does anyone know what kind of flies these are? :whistling2:

I've just been sorting out some crickets for my inverts and a small native spider caught my eye as it strolled across the window in front of me. I figured i'd offer him a cricket by just holding it in some tweezers and he pounced on it! So i've put him in my slings old tub so I could watch...

Saw a handsome fox in the garden today, pretty curious and confident as well! Thought I would share a couple of pictures for any fox lovers out there :)

Hiya, just wondering if anyone knows the names of any geckos native to Spain? There doesn't seem to be a great deal on the internet.

Found these beauties today up in the north of scotland.. Enjoy :D
