New Homeana hingebacks

- Start date
Drosophila melanogaster is my favourite fruit fly.
Good for chromosome analysis.
It was a long time ago, but I used moist vermiculite, about 80% humidity and 30 degrees C , I believe. In my note book I wrote that it had been in the incubator for 134 days.
I'll add my collage photo....
Yes I remember that from my OU course, haha!!!
I think lavinder is the key to rid of flies, and mosquitos hate the stuff. Not that I get mosquitos.
I'll weigh her tomorrow, she is pretty big now
She is SCL 210mm and weighs in at 1066g
Come on Zoey, when you going to share with us what you have?She is SCL 210mm and weighs in at 1066g

Nice, what do you feed them?
Sounds like you need to post in the Hermanns section too, and by the sounds of what you have, every other section too. lol
How many hatchlings have you got?
17 and waiting for 7 more!!!
I feed my Hingebacks a lot of earthworms, most days they get some fruit, they have plants which they eat and once every other week they get some soaked cat food pellets or tortoise mazuri pellets.
I just wish they'd dig up their own damn worms, save me doing it lol!!!

Mmm. Let's see if I still have the telepathic skill. I'm feeling a vibe you gained another tort today. Yes yes its coming to me now. It's a juvenile. Err, hold on, yep a hingeback. Its a homeana hingeback. Cb14.I'm so glad to finally find some UK homeana and erosa keepers!
Wow didn't think I still had that skill.
Come on. Where's the photos?
Huh, already seen that photo.
Gorgeous I'm suprised at how much they sell for over here. Years ago you could pick them up for £50. Now they are few and far between. Good buy. By the time we got there all the homeana had gone. An hour after happening. You were talking to my missis last night, Dawn. Small world.
Did you see the price of the radiated. £720.
They sell for whatever idiots like me will pay I guess!! my first two in 1999 were £50 each. Christoph who I git my pancakes from had listed an adult female Home's, but already sold when I replied :-(. At Doncaster I think it was Essex reptiles that had the hinges, they'd sold four and the guy that bought the others didn't want this one. It's shell has some slight damage and it's cloaca was slightly swollen, but seems better already in the humidity. Was dry in its tub.
I wouldn't say that was a daft buy. I've seen em at £180 as juveniles. £50 days have gone. I know a guy who used to get them in the bucket load years ago( wc obviously). He can't get them now.
What size is he. Loves them worms.
