Norway – Oslo, May, 2009

During Heiko’s and Natasha’s visit to Oslo and his conferences for the 80th anniversary of the Oslo Aquarium Club, they were invited to have a look at what is probably the most unique (small) reptile park in Europe – a private owned and financed park – run by the active Are Hogner.

Not only was each terrarium decorated beautifully – entirely with natural plants often from the natural environment of the reptile or amphibian – but also his animals are fed daily with insects and mice he breeds mostly himself. Here Heiko is inspecting his back rooms in the centre of Oslo together with famous Corydoras breeder Ian Fuller from the UK. The latter gave also a lecture at the convention
