Reptile Radiators
Reptile Radiators are new higher powered heaters from Habistat. They replace the radiant heat panels and while they maintain the advantages of the old panels, substantial technical improvements have been added. Purpose designed as an animal heater, the Habistat Reptile Radiator will not harm animals, people or fittings if mounted properly. It is specifically designed to direct most of its heat out through the lower, radiating face. Protective insulation minimises the heating of the upper, mounting site. At the same time, even the hottest surface, that which heats the cage, is not so hot that it will instantly burn animals or humans.** Carbon Element heater construction gives incredible reliability. This hot new heater creates an optimal heat density - 75 watts of heat spread over 650 cm3. Most of the heat generated is directed out from the lower surface and the mounting side tends to run at significantly cooler temperatures. It is therefore safer and very economical to run. **To prevent overheating it is recomended that Reptile Radiators always be used in conjunction with a thermostat. |

Aussie Sun Heat Mats have been made with high end state-of-the-art components throughout, include thermal overload protection and quality components ensure an even temperature evenly distributed over the whole heat mat area. Aussie Sun Heat Mats have a 2.5mm thick water proof heavy duty plastic shield. This plastic shield is highly durable, water and rot resistant. Aussie Sun Heat Mats are complete with a 2 meter power cord and do not need to be installed by an electrician. Aussie Sun Heat Mats can be used with most probe thermostats and dimmers including the Herp Shop's best selling THAT040 probe thermostat. The advanced Aussie Sun Heat Mats thermal overload protection will guard against accidents and failures but we still recommend using them in conjunction with a probe thermostat.

** New and
exclusive to the Herp Shop ** The Natural History of a Crocodile - Solomon's Story. This is a natural history of Rob Bredl's largest crocodile, Solomon. Solomon was caught as a 4 metre rogue near Bamaga in Cape York peninsula. When he arrived at Rob's zoo he seemed different from other wild caught crocodiles. Rob came to believe that he had let this one go as a baby from the crocodile farm at Edward River. Years later, Solomon became famous for attacking and nearly killing Rob's niece, Karla. Rob and Karla tell us just what went wrong and we learn of her remarkable rescue by her father Joe. Crocodile Filmed in 1972, this programme is one of the first ever to be made on crocodiles in Australia. It gives a rare glimpse of life at Edward River when Joe Bredl, with the help of his son Rob, fought to create the Edward River Crocodile farm, at a time when almost nothing was known about crocodiles and they were a species bordering on extinction in Australia.

Bush Tucker Banquet In BUSH TUCKER BANQUET Rob Bredl gives us a light hearted, entertaining and informative guide to bush tucker in the 20th century Australian bush. For Rob Bredl and his mate John Robinson, the bush is just one big playground. Together they travel deep into far north Queensland's gulf country to show us what's to eat, what's nice and what's not. As they journey, we learn important lessons on how to live off the land. In his bush tucker kitchen the Barefoot Bushman prepares such things as feral rat, barramundi sausage and cane toad legs and gives some good advice on how to save on the supermarket bill. Rob Bredl uses traditional aboriginal trapping and hunting techniques and a few of his own to show just how easy it is to get a feed in the bush if you are not too fussy. Originally the plan was to film the plane wreck of the Grady Gaston which went down in the Gulf country during World War Two but as they said: "We spent several days here filming but by now it was clear that the concept of the programme had to change and so it became Bush Tucker Banquet, a modern day recipe for survival in the Australian bush, garnished with a topping of Rob Bredl's quirky tongue in cheek attitudes on getting a feed in the bush. It was one of the top ten rating documentaries when it was televised." This one hour plus documentary includes 18 minutes of
new footage and is available exclusively from |

Twin (2) Barefoot Bushman DVD's
for just $30 per set at the Herp Shop. Exclusive to the Herp Shop Rob Bredl has a unique
gift. It is a fearless understanding of animal behaviour. This gift
has seen him judged by many as the world's best crocodile wrangler.
It would be a surprise indeed, if these two programmes did not provide
us with a unique and highly informative view of these two groups of
Australian snakes. These are probably the two best shows ever produced
on the TIGERS and TAIPANS
