Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Aaah memories!
The tempura prawns were to die for, the company and service was good.
Pleasant ambience and local wines.
We actually got to see where it was all grown so can vouch for authenticity.
Highly reccomended on the tourist map, **** rating with out a doubt.
Merry christmas to you and your family Ivan, hope you had a good one.

Thanks Faye

We have a visitor

Great mouse trap

So what kind of snake is that?

that's a carpet python very pretty, only a little one by the looks

Might be a little small but it still looks tasty!

Mark

Hmm... yeh carpet Python, on the money J
His folks are waaaay bigger and hang in the shed
Not many mice hangin about
Non-venomous but still bite if made angry
He's welcome

I've not seen our resident carpet snake for a while, though know he/she is still in the shed somewhere. Th last skin we found was about 7 foot long, he/she seems to be thriving. How big are mum and dad C1?

VB - the big one is 7+ foot long and about as thick as a cucumber
Does amazing tricks chimbing a shadow board with tools on.
I've only seen the one partner

Nice - just like mine. Last time I saw mine though I nearly shit myself. Caught me unawares. I had just climbed the ladder to the mezanine level I have over one bay of my shed and it was curled up in the rafter just above my head.

I like having them here for rat and mice control, but over time there have been three which I have grabbed, chucked in a sack and move elsewhere. These ones were found in or near the chook pen. One time I openned the door to the layer boxes and a big one was hanging down into the box as I put my hand in. Again - change of undies was nearly required

Yeah, we used to have one about the same size years ago in the farm house... used to like to come inside every now and then and curl up behind the couch...

Was good for many a laugh when it decided to head back outside through the legs of unsuspecting visitors...

House cat never seemed to bother it... or be bothered by it.... mind you... don't know what happened to the cat... just disappered one day...

Well Mousetrap is back again and we noticed a frog nearby
I asked what everyone thought ( should I remove the frog to outside) and the consensis
was no leave it there.
I guess we will hear a lot of screetching through the night.

I wonder if they eat fish?
I've never heard of them going fishing

No but they lurve frogs
