[…]orange to grayish-brown as it matures. There are some indications that females remain with their eggs for a time. Unique scalation lends the alternative common name of Keel-scaled Boa. Juveniles and some adults (especially females) appear to be largely arboreal. The Round Island Boa’s preferred habitat – forest and palm-dotted […]
[…]Hooks along the edges of the sperm packet latch onto the female’s genital opening, and the eggs are then fertilized internally. Gestation and Birth Gestation is highly variable, ranging from 7-10 months on average but sometimes exceeding 1 year. It is likely that stress, temperature and other factors play a […]
[…]is an impressive hunter of small fishes and tadpoles (please see photo of a female with eggs, currently in my collection). My nephew readily tackles snakes exceeding his own length, but when I asked him to swim under a dock and capture this spider, he quickly replied “No way, man”! […]
[…]D3 levels are now at normal levels, and several previously-infertile females have produced viable eggs. I’m interested to see if the effects of the bulbs and the sunlight can be distinguished (nothing tops natural sunlight, of course). Several Ringtail Lemurs that share the tortoise exhibit also became very fond […]
[…]early 60’s. I knew enough to bypass the recommended diet of “sugar water and dried ant eggs” but was ignorant of the beast’s UVB requirements. I did, however, gather that it craved sunlight, and during one basking trip the lizard escaped up a caterpillar- laden apple tree where, I hope, […]
[…]spermatophore is picked up by the female’s cloacal lips in typical salamander fashion. Eggs are individually attached to aquatic plants, with the tip of a leaf folded over each egg by the female. The incubation period is short, generally less than 2 weeks. The larvae sport external gills and are […]
[…]Thorny Tree Frog was found in a dense cloud forest in central Vietnam. Females deposit their eggs in water-filled tree cavities, but much remains unknown about other aspects of their life history. You can read the article describing this new species in the article linked below. Brazilian Pterosaur, Caiujara […]
[…]not taken as prey). Fierce predators in their own right, Fire Ants also attack lizards and their eggs. They likely affect plant communities as well, which in turn can impact horned lizard survival by altering the environment. Introduced Indian Mongooses are driving the St. Croix Ground Lizard to the brink […]
[…]You with an Egg Sac As a single mating can result in multiple egg cases, females sometimes produce eggs long after having been fertilized by a male. If you are not aware of a female’s history, you may find yourself with more tarantula-related responsibilities than you bargained for! While a […]
[…]are lung-less and tongue-less frogs, gliders and burrowers, frogs that brood their eggs in vocal sacs and others that form lifelong pair bonds. The first time I bred Surinam Toads, and witnessed 100 tiny frogs emerging from their mother’s back (please see photo), I thought I had seen the oddest […]
[…]and Odd Snake Meals From Caiman, Siamese Cats and African Hunting Dogs to centipedes and frog eggs, snakes have been observed feeding on many “unexpected” food items. In Venezuela, a Green Anaconda grabbed my co-worker, in what appeared to be a feeding attempt, while a recent study documented 150 Reticulated […]
[…]balls during the breeding season and a taste for a wide variety of creatures…birds and their eggs, fish, lizards, caiman, capybaras, pacas, brocket deer and a host of other animals have been recorded as prey. Green Anaconda, Eunectes murinus I’ve captured and tagged some very large Green Anacondas, and have […]
[…]leads to a fatal infection (egg peritonitis). It is important to note that females may develop eggs even if un-mated, and that pets may produce several clutches each year. The 4-20 eggs may be incubated in moist vermiculite at 80-82 F for 55-65 days. Temperament Diamondback Terrapins make […]
[…](72 F by night, 82-85 F by day) initiated in late autumn. Clutches generally contain 5-10 eggs, which may be incubated in moist vermiculite at 88-90 F for 55-65 days. Hatchlings average 11-14 inches in length. Further Reading Python Eats Crocodile: Giant Snake Meals Green […]
[…]that may live for 10, 20 or even 50 years. Among them we find creatures that glide, brood their eggs in vocal sacs, form lifelong pair bonds and exhibit other fascinating behaviors. While the smallest is barely as large as a pea, the nine-pound African Bullfrog can chase lions away […]
[…]from the lower jaw! The newly-described Vampire Flying Frog, Rhacophorus vampyrus, deposits eggs in water-filled tree hollows high above the ground, but as yet we know little about the natural history of its most unusual tadpoles. Amazingly, Dr. Rowley also discovered another frog, the Quang’s Treefrog, Gracixalus quangi, and […]
[…]biology, so captive breeding is not considered an option. There is some evidence the eggs of lizards such as the St. Lucia Whiptail (Cnemidophorus vanzoi, please see photo) make up much of its diet, but it likely takes lizards, frogs, small mammals and birds as well. St. Lucia’s Other Reptiles […]
[…]are available. Fascinating snakes that specialize in hunting centipedes, spiders, fish and frog eggs and other unusual prey items are also known, but these are rarely kept as pets. A single adult of most species will do fine in a 10 gallon aquarium. Unlike more commonly-kept snakes, they do […]
[…]be watched closely, as males often bite females during courtship. A typical clutch contains 1-5 eggs, which hatch after an incubation period of 95-110 days at 82 F. Please see the article linked below for further information. The Yellow-Spotted Sideneck Turtle, Podocnemis unifilis, This attractive South American turtle commonly […]
