[…]the “cold-blooded” rule when digesting their meals. While most snakes must seek out a hot basking spot in order to maximize digestion, Burmese Pythons can actually raise their internal temperatures without an external heat source! Further Reading Please see Big Snake Meals for some examples of how large (and unusual) snake […]
[…]are more easily accommodated than most related species. Temperatures of 78-85F, with a warmer basking spot and, if possible, a nighttime dip to 70-72F, suit them well. Breeding is most likely if the pair is maintained at 52-54 F for 6-8 weeks, but normal changes in home temperatures may be […]
[…]career!). Years later, a co-worker reported a similar incident involving a Western painted turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii). Interesting Means of Toxin Introduction Several salamanders have quite unique ways of distributing their protective secretions – fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra), for example, can squirt theirs for some distance. Perhaps strangest of all, […]
[…]in bare enclosures. UVB exposure is essential, and a temperature gradient of 72-85 F, with a basking site of 90-95 F, should be established. A diet comprised of as many insect species as possible must be supplied; crickets and mealworms alone are not adequate. Sudan Plated Lizard, Gerrhosaurus (Broadleysaurus) […]

[…]to hide. I wedge pieces between aquarium glass to create convenient, smooth resting sites for turtles, newts and frogs. By positioning the bark just below the water’s surface you can also provide the submerged sites favored by musk and other aquatic turtles and many amphibians. I could go on, and […]
[…]are also favored. Young Green Basilisks should be maintained at 80 F, and have access to a basking site of 85-90 F. Sexual maturity is usually reached by age 18 months, but males may begin to do battle at the tender age of 6 months, and so should be segregated […]
[…]feet, and both sexes are slender in build. Captive Breeding An ambient temperature of 78 F with a basking site of 85-90 F suits individuals from most populations. While some breed more reliably when chilled to 60 F for 4 weeks or so, others reproduce when maintained at a stable […]
[…]to observe your pet’s nocturnal activities. Under-tank heaters should be used to create a warm basking surface for Sand and Rubber Boas (these heaters do little to warm air, however). Provide your snake with the largest home possible, so that a thermal gradient (areas of different temperatures) can be established. […]
It is well known that many species of lizard, turtle and crocodilian require ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength (290-310 nanometers) in order to synthesize Vitamin D3. This vitamin, in turn, allows the reptiles to make use of the calcium in their diets. Such reptiles (which generally bask in the […]

Young Bearded Dragons feed largely upon insects, adding plants to the diet as […]
[…]by a lack of “decorations”. An aquarium half-filled with water and provisioned with a turtle basking platform and a submersible filter will suit Fire-Bellied Toads, American Green Frogs and other semi-aquatic species. African Clawed Frogs, Dwarf Clawed Frogs and Surinam Toads do not need a land area, but do best […]
[…]reason that an iguana might choose to run or fight rather than swim – a huge green anaconda basking at the surface. Today we can see ample evidence of the green iguanas’ adaptability right here in the USA – feral animals live in areas ranging from beaches to suburban gardens […]
It is said that people who make careers of their passions never work a day in their lives…those of us who have turned our hobbies into livelihoods are indeed fortunate. The following ideas have helped me along the way – I hope they are of some use to you. Speak […]

[…]snakes and reptile eggs. In one study, they were found to be a major predator on Pacific pond turtle nests. Those I’ve kept have done very well on small mice and quail eggs. Other Interesting Facts This snake’s upturned snout (modified rostral scale) assists in digging for fossorial prey such […]
[…]radiation as well. Heat The ambient, or average, air temperature should range from 82-87 F, with a basking spot of 92-95 F. Incandescent bulbs should be used to maintain these temperatures. Temperatures can dip to the low 70’s after dark. A ceramic heater or red/black reptile “night bulb” can be […]
[…]captives if kept properly. Captive essentials for most include a larger than average enclosure, basking sites of 95-100 F, abundant UVA and UVB, and a diet comprised of a wide variety of invertebrates. Please write in for information on the care of individual species. Courtship and Breeding When in breeding […]
[…]other native treefrogs and land snails. Assuming that space permits the establishment of a warm basking area (without over-heating the toads), you can also house a number of small reptiles with American toads. I have had kept them with 5-lined skinks, Italian wall lizards, green anoles, DeKay’s (brown) snakes, ring-necked […]
