[…]they are likely on the menu of predators ranging from spiders to small birds. Females produce 2 eggs, but the details of their reproductive biology are unknown. I’m looking forward to reading more about their lifestyles, especially their diet. Some years ago, I cared for a colony of tiny Kihansi […]
[…]the family Dendrobatidae or Aromobatidae. Those species that have been studied deposit their eggs on land. Males transport the tadpoles to water at varying points in their development. Most of the new frog’s relatives seem to have very small natural ranges. Any disturbance, even carefully-planned ecotourism, may put them at […]
[…]the Common Boa (Boa constrictor), are habitat generalists. Reproduction All pythons produce eggs which in most if not all species are incubated by the female. By contracting their muscles, or “shivering”, females can raise the temperature of their clutch by as much as 40 F. With a single […]
[…]fight, and often harass females with near-constant mating attempts. Breeding Three to five eggs are produced at a time, and females may deposit up to 4 clutches per year. Breeding usually occurs between August and December. Females sometimes have difficulty passing their eggs, especially if the diet lacks […]
[…]may reach 2-3 years of age. Breeding Both Sunburst and Green Diving Beetles deposit eggs on live plants. A dip in temperature and shortened light cycle for 4-6 weeks may stimulate reproduction, but is not absolutely necessary. Some have reported consistent breeding following a “drought/rain cycle” (water level is dropped […]
[…]breeding season, another characteristic that endears them to herptoculturists. All deposit their eggs in water. Newts generally spend about half of the year in water, but some exhibit a unique three-stage lifestyle – aquatic larvae, terrestrial sub-adults (or Efts) and fully-aquatic adults. Newts produce virulent skin toxins such as Tarichatoxin. […]
[…]which includes a surprisingly-wide array of creatures. Rodents, rabbits, snakes, birds and their eggs, lizards, frogs, fish, small turtles are large insects have been reported as being taken. I have first-hand experience with impressive biting power packed by most rodents, and find it amazing that Cribos do not utilize constriction, […]
[…]Aquatic Garter Snake (T. c. gigas) approaches 5 feet in length. Aquatic Garter Snakes add fish eggs and leeches to their diets on occasion. Plains Garter Snake, T. radix The emergence of thousands of plains garter snakes from hibernation is a tourist attraction in parts of southern Canada. A toad […]
[…]capsules) on the substrate; females take these into the cloaca with the cloacal lips. The eggs, 30-90 in number, are deposited in the spring. They are attached to the roof of a natural or self-made depression below a rock or log, and are guarded by the female until hatching occurs […]
[…]insects that have fallen into the water and carrion are also taken. Reproduction Diving Beetle eggs are attached to aquatic plants. The elongated, aquatic larvae are known as “Water Tigers” and, equipped with out-sized jaws, attack prey much larger than themselves. The larvae pupate on land – in mud at […]
[…]Brooding Frog Females of this species, missing from Australia since 1985, swallow their eggs, incubate them in the stomach and “give birth” via their mouths! Studying their ability to shut down the flow of digestive enzymes during incubation might have yielded important insights into human digestive disorders. Jackson’s Climbing Salamander […]
[…]females bask far more frequently than do others, and may consume the fetal membrane and infertile eggs passed with the young. Newborn Green Anacondas are secretive and rarely seen; little is known of their natural history. Further Reading You can read more about the research mentioned above in […]
[…]is native or was introduced to control rats (it seems better at controlling chickens and their eggs than rats!). Mammals Guam was home to only three native mammals, all bats. Two have been extirpated by the snake, and the Marianas Fruit Bat is now limited to a single small […]
[…]the sexes, preparation for breeding and egg-laying. The Tadpoles At 80-85 F, White’s treefrog eggs will begin to hatch in 24-40 hours. The tadpoles remain largely inactive for the first 1-3 days, during which time they should not be fed. Once they begin moving about, food should always be available. […]
[…]people report that both species often occur at high densities in certain areas, and that the eggs of many females may be found together. Interestingly, students of mine consistently claim to have observed Rough Green Snakes in abandoned lots in NYC (Bronx), but I have been unable to confirm this. […]
[…]and commonly sold as food for tropical fishes. I experimentally raised the larvae of Mexican Axolotls and Spotted and Marbled Salamanders solely upon blackworms, and had excellent results. Avoid Tubifex Worms, which are harvested from polluted waters. Live Earthworms are a near-perfect food for most newts (and amphibians in general), […]
[…]at age 3-5. Courting and breeding occurs in May and June, and females deposit 1-4 clutches of eggs (1-15 eggs in total) between May and July. Late-hatching young may overwinter in the nest and emerge the following spring. Captive conditions may alter all of the above, so please write […]
[…]commercial turtle foods are, thankfully, light years removed from the yesteryear’s dried “ant eggs” (actually ant pupae). While natural foods remain important, some remarkable advances now provide turtle keepers with an important safety net, and simplify the process of providing our pets with a balanced diet. Today I’ll review some […]
[…]– killing a few dozen workers will not reduce ant numbers but instead may set up a call for more eggs! Boric Acid Toxins that are taken to the nest and shared among the colony can be effective against Pharaoh Ants (Monomorium pharaonis, the most common indoor ant in many […]
[…]In August, females excavate nesting burrows that may reach 5 or more feet in length. Their 5-30 eggs are deposited at the end of the burrow and are guarded for at least part of the 4-5 month incubation period. Sexual maturity is reached in 5-9 years. Diet Adults are largely […]
