YELLOW BELLIED TOADS FEEDING - EUROPEAN BOMBINA

Must have forgotten about this video and as I was doing another three videos with one on corruption I thought I would put this one up.

My two types of Yellow Bellied Toads belonging to the European branch of the Bombina family.

Rest assured you are going to see a great deal more on this blog during the coming year and if all goes well it should build up a fair old bit too?!

THE JAGUAR CARPET PYTHON

..or cross, I cannot bloody remember!

This one grown a bit too and looks to be double the size of when I saw him or her last?

THE JAGGEDY CARPET PYTHON

I calld it the JAGGY or JAGGED Carpet Python. Probably has a name but I have no idea what it is, lol.

It has grown somewhat! Looks to be about three times bigger than when I last saw it!

You might note some Jaguar Carpets in thre too.

YELLOW BELLIED TOADS FEEDING VIDEO

Well I say FEEDING but I threw some crickets on their and left it filming for a few minutes, lol. These are my Julian Alps Yellow Bellied Toads, Bombina variegata kolombatovici and are the olive ones, and the possibly Greek Yellow Bellied Toads, Bombina variegata scabra which are the brown ones.

Well either greek or Bombina pachypus hybrids, I have not looked close enough yet, still yes I know, to cast an opinion but I will in the next few weeks, fingers crossed.

Hopefully something happened on video, fingers crossed as I have not looked at it...

ALPINE NEWTS FEEDING

Little video of my newts feeding..again! Lol.

RENEWED LEPTOPELIS VIVARIUM

Not quite finished this yet and I fully intend to make something of the same proportions only bigger for my Leptopelis uluguruensis in the coming weeks!

Jusy need to get this damned camera slingshot bag, another one, to house my camera bits and my Tablet PC! Oh and a large back up battery...ooh yeah and I broke my phone...

Ever get the feeling it is never ending?!

LMAO!

ZEBRA DANIOS DISPLAYING

Two male Zebra Danios showing off.

PARADISE FISH

Seems to have been a day for soft spot species!

The Paradise Fish and now wondering whether to have a go at these in my empty aquarium?! Cannot believe I have typed that! TWICE!!

This is a very cool to sub-tropical species though often sold as a tropical fish.

WATER DRAGON

A nice your Water Dragon and for some reason I have a soft spot for these and Plumed Basilisks!

Oh and the Autralian Water Dragons too!

GREEN IGUANA

A grown on Green Iguana in my friends store in Baker Street in Enfield.

GOLDEN AND THREE SPOT GOURAMIS

Umm some Gouramis, lol.

CHOCOLATE NYMPH GOLDFISH

Chocolate Nymph Goldfish at my friends store and I actually automatically REACHED for my camera when I saw these?! Now I think they are Nymphs when they have a normal tail as opposed to fan tails?!

LOL!

Not normally into some of thew goldfish, though I have a soft spot for Blue Shubunkins and Brsitol Blue Shubunkins in particular.

FISCHER'S CHAMELEON - KINYONGIA FISCHERI - PAIR

In my friends store he has these Fischer's Chameleons and the male was displaying to the female with a bit f head bobbing.

Grabbed the camera and started filming but of course they go and stop dead in their tracks!

I will now keep a watch out for them to do it again and see if I can get it on film?! LOL!

THE NEW ROOM

I have moved some things around to make space which I have wanted to do since last year and still not gotten around to it until now.

I have also not finished the set of Vivariums but I am not far off, just need some glass and some sand, maybe a couple silly things besides.

GERRHOSAURUS VALIDUS - GIANT PLATED LIZARDS

Two large but not fully grown Giant Plated Lizards at my friends store in Baker Street in Enfield, called Petzotic.

There are two and he has a different species and cannot remember the other species but I think the latin is ... errr. ... ummm ... MAJOR!! I thought that is what it was, lol. Yes I think he has a couple of Gerrhosaurus major.

ITALIAN ALPINE NEWTS - ICHTYOASAURA ALPESTRIS APUANUS

My Alpine Newts from North Italy, Icthyosaura alpestris apuanus, trying to sniff out some frozen bloodworm I have out in their aquarium.

HOG ISLAND x SUNSET BOA & ..ANOTHER BOA

These two are again in my friends shop in Baker Street in Enfield but you may be able to get the lighter male off him but he has not mated the female several times and I would bet my bottom dollar that he will not part with her.

Still no harm in trying, lol.

He has bred the Jaguar Carpet Pythins too so there will be some of those at some point and more pictures and videos too!

Oh and if eagle eyed viewers notice the name might be wrong, well shoot me. I do not normally like the colour morphs and as for the prices some of them ar going for, I have been shown ones that are £15,000 and it just looked like a uniform colured albino to me?! Lol!

In fact I have oinly now started to look at Boa constrictors and Pythin regius at all fo the first time! As a young lad my father was always importing them in and you just got bored of seeing the same things and wanted something different.

Cannot wait, me personally.

FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A STINGER BEE ROYAL PYTHON

Here are a coupld videos of a Stinger Bee Royal Python in my friends shop in Baker Street in Enfield.

Not normally into the colour types, or Royal Pythons for that matter, but I have to admit to this one being particularly nice, lol.

VIDEO of LEPTOPELIS ULUGURUENSIS - RUBY EYED TREE FROG

Here are my new additions which are four Ruby Eyed Tree Frogs, sometimes called Bug Eyed Tree Frogs and in the past Cameroon Tree Frogs.

Now I wrongly thought these were Heleophryne or Boophis when I saw them in their tub! Completely threw me and even when I was told they were Ruby Eyed Tree Frogs I thought, well they are NOT Agalychnis which was the first genus name to spring to mind when hearing the common name!

These are a light green with yellow blotches scattered about on their backs with a seemingly bluish colour to their flanks and with deep ruby coloured eyes. Very interesting indeed.

I did a search on my phone, though already decided these were coming home with me and all of them, and was totally shocked to find these belonged to a family I was already familiar withoooor THOUGHT I was!

I have seen Leptopelis many times in the past and I recall three now that you used to see with one being all green, one being all brown and one marbled green and brown. These all had an absolutely identical shape to these guys but the eyes of the other three were all light gold. Whereas mine are a dark Ruby Red, literally a Ruby colour!

To give you an idea of the contrasting colours between the two groups when it comes to eyes someone I knew years ago had been telling me that someone he knew had a Yellow Eyed Tree Frog, Agalychnis annae. I had already started to take photpgraphs on animals on a semi regular basis and one day was told he wanted to sell the frog. I normally do not entertain buying just one of an animals, unless it happens to be a female, but wanting a series of photos I said I would give him the fifty quid he wanted.

We arranged to meet in a friends store and I walked in their was someone I know who used to work for my Dad and I said 'Hi Jamie, how you doing?' to which I then spotted a glass vivarium and I said 'Wait?! Your NOT the guy with the Yellow Eyed Tree Frog?!' to which he said yes and I said 'Uh-oh! OK lets see it then?!' and I knew immediately it was not what he said it was. I knew him well and he was not knowledgable enough on this family of frogs nor did he have the contacts to get ahold of this species. There was a rule that if someone claimed to have something I was very interested in and yet had never seen nor never heard of being owned in the UK then it was normally not here and utter eyewash.

I looked into the glass cage before turning around and saying 'Bloody Yellow Eyed Tree Frogs indeed?! That is a Cameroon Bug Eyed Tree Frog and the Cameroons are in Africa which is several thousand miles away from the Amazon where the Yellow Eyed Tree Frogs come from!

Here is a video and I will do better ones in time and apologies for the lack of light, I will work on that pretty soon.

There should also be a couple of other things arriving soon say in the next month, fingers crossed. PLus I am going to renew my passport soon and have a few little ideas and plans up my sleeve?! ;)

NEW ADDITIONS OF RUBY EYED TREE FROGS - LEPTOPELIS ULUGURUENSIS

I have had some new additions to my extremely short list of amphibians in my collection.

Now there were a bit of a surprise but before I tell you why I will post in some photographs. I will actually state that some people that know me will see the genus name and say 'Well I don't believe it?!' but there is a perfectly good explanation.

They are gorgeous, lol....you will need to wait for better pictures as I have been inundated and these giuys needed to be settled in too.

Thers is also a bloody funny story to that...

Leptopelis uluguruensis or Ruby Eyed Tree Frogs

The Leptopelis cage is one on right in picture, Phalaenopsis species Orchids in one on left...

Yes some may be surprised I bouth some Leptopelis but I had never seen this tyope before. Without bothering to look up the names as I cannot remember the only two I ever saw were brownish gold and a green and brownish gold marbled. Nice as they were I never kept them as there were far more interesting things out there I wanted.

I initially thouight these were maybe Boophis or even Heleophryne and was surprised when a quick Google search reveled them instead to belong to the Cameroon Bug Eye Tree Frogs, yes I know a terrible name, lol.

There is more work to be done as this cage has four cages built into it. Need to change lighting a little too and need to get some glass bu the damn glass man is obviously making far too much cash. I went there few days back and he is closed from the 21st December until the 6th January?! Damn it!!

One night I am sitting on my bed upstairs likely typping out a blog post for my corruption blog when I hear a thump downstairs. I raise me head and listen intently but hear no more sounds. It is odd as it is extremely quiet here at all times unless there is a raging storn goin on. It is late and I have been unable to get to sleep and I hear another thump and then a bang. It is now around 2.30am and I decide to go down and investigate.

I have no lights on and am looking around and everything seems normal. Due to the huge number of symptoms that make up my health condition the kitchen is in a messy mode. Still on the floor behind my oild heatr in the dark I see a shape and think 'why does that figure look like a Tree-Frog, realise immediately rach down and grab it! I glance over the their cage and realise thay have opened it and out loud I say 'OH WHAT THE FECK!! YOU IDIOT MARTIN!!' I put the Tree-Frog back in its cage and them woried about the other three and I see now they have all got out! I go to run upsi=stairs to get a torch as putting the light on will only make then freeze and sit still. AS I run up the stors about half way up and I see one sitting on a step!!

I thin oh that is good but I still have another two to go. I then walk up the stairs after attempting to run and hurting my back come back down and before even switching it on I spot another frog like figure in the far corner of my kitched sitting on my wok?! Good job for him I was not an oreintal that likes to eat everything!! Lol.

The very last one took awhile to find but find him I did. I have a computer table which is not much good to me but has a slide out keyboard rest. This was in its IN position and yet I managed to spot that sitting next to my new printer ink cartridges was another tell-tale frog outline! Without even checking my right hand fired into the gap between grey surfaces and I felt that familiar squidgy skin I know so well.

Damn lucky I was and had I falled asleep I my not have found them.

I have now placed rubber wedges between the doors and must be more careful in future. Especially as these came all the way from Holland and in a few weeks time there will be more things to add to my list and in the Spring of 2014 many more things will happen.

Well I DO HAVE a passport application form sitting here!! LMAO!

APOLOGIES OF THE PAUSING

Sorry for the gaps from time to time. I have had a battle with both my health and the NHS for over twelve years now. My health driving me nuts and the NHS constantly refusing to admit that I have one and telling me repeatedly that there is no such condition that matches my symptoms.

Now due to the fact that Doctors and Hospitals all like to deal with one thing at a time, oddly the same as the government and the DWP so your getting knowingly screwed, this has caused me considerable grief, pain, problems financially as well as he fact that dozens of realtionships broke down over the years.

Indeed it may be surprised to know that everything I state that I have achieved both on this blog and my others, the one on corruption will hurt your eyes that is for sure, I achoieved while suffering from this condition, including my degree!

I wrongly self diagnosed myself with something called Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome and not only was this entertained by thge NHS, as they sent me for tests that were nagative and basically said 'oh well there is nothing else out there it can be' I then ran across the correct condition. AT the same time I was prescribed two drugs consecutively that in over 15 years were the first drugs to ever work on any of my pains. They were not non-steroidal ab=nti-inflammatories either and were Gabapentin and Amitriptyline. After a failed effor to say I was mad I was then kicked off my last GP surgery for insinating violent conduct. Bullshit basically and am now on my fourth GP with the same catchment area.

For the first time ever since I have liobved in this area my NEW and FOURTH GP offered an aover forties halth test to which I agreed. Just as well becuase I not only failed everything miserbale but they discovered an infection and a possible peoblem with my kidneys. I have had to have further blood tests amd now have to have an ultrasound on my kidneys in a few weeks, wonder if they will lie about this ultrasound like they did the last one?!

There is also an official complaint and as I had the excuse and have a blog about corruption in the UK government and public offices I approached the GMC expecting them to nothing, which is what I had hoped as it goes along with everything else I say about the UK. They did better than this and helped the GP kick off the register by showing him a letter saying that he was so rude, arrogant and lying to my face I wanted to break his jaw and likely will so if I was put through that again. Bein responsible I was not planning to return to such an imcompatent and arrogant twat who was really merely just a nobody dickhead, lol.

Ss as well as all this I have had to find a new GP, and then I was frefused my repeat prescriptions, which have all been wrong and screwing up my kidneys for years it seems now, to which it was hinted at bh NHS England that I would get my pills if I dropped my official complaint.

I said NO of course and unlucky for them I had already charged into the surgery and obtained the prescription, lol. I did wonder why they seem to have difficulty finding it and were holding back to giving it to me? I think they held the NHS to ransom because whatever my problem is they do not deem it their fault.

But it was and it is, though the NHS headquerters are much more to blame too. But to understand how that all works and how I provied it you would have to read my asaintcalledallnights.blogspot.com blog. It is all there too just so no one can get into any doubts or post any comments on there, despite one air-head doing that, lol. Hours of recorded audio of Doctors lying, most I prove by other means and one Doctor at Chase Farm Hospital being pulled to acount by me and admitting it on a recording. So arrogant and confident that he did not send the amended letter to my GP and sent the first one with lies?!

There are a great many Doctors and specialists with heads of departments that I have on tape and documents for and it is bo no means all, not even half of it, not even close. I have Police and Detectives doing the exact same thing along with Local Government and almost all Ombudsman.

Due to all this and the very recent fiascoes with people with public offices I have been a little rushed around. I also have held back from admitting for years that I am forgetful as many Doctors just roll their eyes at you and you just end up wanting to punch their over arrogant faces that suffer with deluisions of grandeur. This is because when you tryo to explain their errors and that tiy are just as intellgigent than they are they just shut you off mid sentence, which is of course RUDE. So they have brought much of this on themselves both what I have done and what I will do throught 2014.

As for this condition that causes me in the region of 110 symptoms, give or take 10, that I have Doctors repeatedly stating on tape does not exist?!

Oh well that would ne FIBROMYALGIA and for those that know me or used to know me it causes all my problems in all four limbs, feet, knees, shoulder and back/neck and is also behiond my skin conditions, night blindness and also even my heartburn. Which means I have only ever had ONE corrupt diagnosis off the NHS in 26 years and have been given the wrong pills all this time which is why the new GP looks concerned!

Oh yes and it causes short term memory problems too! Oh yes and it causes short term memory problems too?! Sorry...I just could not resist that one. But it does though so every GP I wanted to punch for roling theor eyes was in the wrong and I habe now proved myself correct as I stated all along for over 13 years.

Hemce all this has had a negative effect on anything I tried to start, c reate for myself or startung any careers. Just so that you know that when I disappear for a bit there is normally some good reason behind it.  I apologise fore my absences nevertheless.

Rest assured though that this condition that they have repeatedly told me does not exist does do and I have now found it. I also found that there is a large department for it at one of the most famous hospitals in the country, being Guy's Hospital, fancy that?

You may now be wondering the same things I have been asking myself since I found out...how the hell can so many GPs, Orthopaedics, Podiatrists, Rheumatologists, Physiotherapists, Head of Departments, Nurses, Back Specialists and Pain Consultants all not know about Fibromyalgia and what is catered for at Guy's Hospital?! HOW?!?!

Well they all do have one thing in common...

...they are ALL NHS and as I long stated on my corruption blog, the NHS is corrupt and has been lying to patients for bloody years.

By the way do not try to defend them if you was diagnosed with a condition that they cannot possibly state does not exist. Becuase that simply is not fair in all honesty. I cannot say that my living room is painted black because people will see when they come around that it is painted white.

But rest assured if you feel that you are being messed about then you are and I am living proof, as is all my proof, as to how and why they are doing it.

I am on the verge now of being referred to Guy's Hospital...so bloody well hopefully this blog and all my other blogs can resume to normal speed and if the NHS, the DWP and Enfield COuncil do as they are fecking saupposed to do the amount of work I will put into these blogs will grow expomnnentially, of that I assure you.
