[…]wrestle for dominance during the mating season (please see photo). Females deposit 6-17 eggs in mammal burrows, termite mounds, tree hollows and similar sites. The hatchlings average 15-24 inches in length. Black Mambas grow very quickly, with well-fed individuals reportedly reaching a length of 6 feet within their first year […]
[…]species for much of their lives. Reproduction Limited observations indicate that several hundred eggs are attached to aquatic vegetation in quiet pools among the rapids. The tadpole stage lasts for 2.5 to 3 months. In common with certain other frogs that inhabit noisy, rushing streams, Goliath Frogs produce no mating […]
[…]in Captive Diets Amphipods are readily accepted by newts of all types, Mexican Axolotls, many turtles, and aquatic frogs such as African and Dwarf Clawed Frogs and Surinam Toads. Salamander larvae and carnivorous tadpoles relish smaller species. They can also be offered to terrestrial salamanders and frogs; in these cases, […]
[…]it follows that diurnal amphibians will receive some exposure. On the other hand, the skin and eggs of some amphibians contain chemicals that filter-out UVB. We still have a great deal to learn. Providing UVB to Pet Reptiles and Amphibians Natural sunlight is the best source of UVB, but please […]
[…]numbers, and remains an excellent introduction to snake breeding. Females produce clutches of 8-26 eggs, sometimes twice yearly, and the 8 – 11 inch long hatchlings are not difficult to rear. Please see the article below for further information. Further Reading Corn Snake History, Breeding and Color Phases […]
[…]Australasian species spend the majority of their lives in water, emerging only to bask or deposit eggs. South American representatives vary in their habits – the Mata Mata Turtle is completely aquatic but others, such as the Twist Necked Turtle (Platemys platycephala), spend some time on land. Depending upon […]
[…]became one of the few of her kind to reproduce in captivity, and yearly rewarded us with fertile eggs. The heads of the male River Terrapins darken during the breeding season, and white eye-rings develop. We were able to document a display during which males pumped their throats and possibly […]
[…]as their pugnacious parents. Poison Frog tadpoles of several species feed upon unfertilized eggs deposited by their mother, Goliath Frog, Conraua goliath, tadpoles consume a single species of algae, Fringe-Limbed Treefrog (Ecnomiohyla rabborum) tadpoles eat their father’s skin, Brown Leaping Frog (Indirana semipalmata) tadpoles gnaw on wood (high up in […]
[…]skin folds (for oxygen absorption) suit the Ghost Frog for life near fast-moving streams. Its eggs have never been found. Hellbender, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis As a child, I was fascinated by this heaviest of North America’s salamanders, and couldn’t imagine why grown men considered it “from hell” and would reportedly cut a […]
[…]cooling off period at 58-62 F seems to stimulate breeding behavior. Clutches generally contain 5-8 eggs, which should be incubated at 80-82 F for 80-90 days. Handling Individual tolerance of handling varies almost as much as does their color pattern! As with most snakes, wild-caught animals may remain defensive […]
[…]and initiate digestion; food is consumed in liquid form, in the manner of spiders. Reproduction Eggs are inserted into living or dead plants, and hatch in 2-4 weeks. The nymphs resemble the adults (incomplete metamorphosis) and mature in 4-6 weeks. Captive Care Enclosure The aquarium should be covered and the […]
[…]artificial bromeliads, which are equipped with tiny “ponds” in which frogs can deposit their eggs or tadpoles, are very useful (please see photo). An easily-cleaned, bare-bottomed tank, tilted on one side to create a water section, is ideal for African Bullfrogs, Horned Frogs and other giants that require frequent water […]
[…]suitable space and proper pre-conditioning, either species may surprise you with thousands of eggs…and the tadpoles are as rabidly carnivorous as their parents! Cost The cost of ownership of each frog is about the same. Neither requires UVB exposure, and they do fine with similar diets, terrariums and heat […]
[…]Environment This turtle spends most of it’s time in the water, leaving only to bask or lay eggs. An adult male or smaller female (some females top out at 12 inches, while others attain 18 inches in length) will require an aquarium of at least 100 gallons in capacity, but […]
[…]would be most valuable to this snake and its relatives. Field observations indicate that 4-8 eggs are typically produced. Temperament Mexican Vine Snakes are notoriously high-strung, and should be viewed as creatures to observe rather than handle. When approached, they open the mouth to expose its black interior and strike […]
[…]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. Green Anacondas – A Most Varied Diet Green Anacondas take a wider range of […]
[…]via tongs to limit potential problems. Health Considerations Females may be troubled by retained eggs and other reproductive disorders if they do not mate. In order to avoid these life-threatening conditions, unmated females should be spayed. Gravid females need an appropriate nesting site…please write in for further information. Water Dragons are […]
[…]common species as fascinating as Kihansi Spray Toads (which produce tiny toadlets rather than eggs!), Blomberg’s Toads and the other rarities I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Classification Toads and frogs are classified in the order Anura, which contains 6,396 members. The world’s 588 toad species are placed in […]
[…]outdoor carpets are preferable. Females without access to suitable nesting sites may retain their eggs; please see this article for information on captive breeding. Light Green Iguanas will not thrive without a source of Ultra-Violet B light. Natural sunlight is best, but be aware that glass and plastic filter out […]
[…]have quite complicated reproductive behaviors, and exhibit a high level of parental care to their eggs and tadpoles. I will address this topic in a future article. An article with natural history details and information on the care of blue dart frogs in zoos is posted […]
