[…]Reduce the day/night cycle to 10 hour day and 14 hours night at the same time. Turning off basking lights and moving the tank may be used in the early stages. For the actual 5 week cooling off period, you’ll need a location that maintains 50 F. Basements and attics […]
[…]Bacteria and Nutrafin Cycle. Micro Lift Bacterial Water Balancer, specifically formulated for turtles, should also be considered. You can also help the process along by introducing filter material from a well-conditioned tank and, where conditions permit, by using “live rock” and “live sand” (please post below for further info). […]
[…]for you to establish a thermal gradient (small terrariums tend to remain at the temperature of the basking site). And, no matter how well-adjusted or bold your pet may be, it’s important to provide a dark, secure cave or other shelter. Geckos forced to remain exposed often cease feeding. […]
[…]not even the enormous African Bullfrogs and Marine Toads (or, for that matter, Leatherback Turtles!) that I had already handled prepared me for the sight of that amazing animal. The Goliath Frog Exhibit I first started working with Goliath Frogs in 1983, at which time we knew little about their […]
[…]Sand Boas do well at an ambient temperature range of 78-85 F, and with a basking temperature of 90-95 F. As they rarely bask on the surface, a sub-tank heat pad should also be employed along with an incandescent bulb. General Care In common with other snakes hailing from arid […]
[…]is spearheaded by Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, and was preceded the Year of the Turtle and the Year of the Lizard. PARC will be joined by the Center for Conservation Biology, the Orianne Society and other notables (please click here for a complete list). In addition to field […]
[…]be offered on occasion, but long-term use has been linked to health problems in certain aquatic turtles. I have found crayfishes (which can be purchased or collected) to be a valuable food item for a wide variety of lizards. I remove the claws, just to be on the safe side. […]
[…]observed included, among other animals, a 60 pound deer, Spectacled Caimans, a large side-necked turtle, a Red-Footed Tortoise, wading birds, fish and other Anacondas. Please watch for my future article on this topic. The World’s Largest Snake The extinct, Anaconda-like Titanoboa may have reached 43 feet in length and weighed […]
[…]behavior. Heat Incandescent bulbs should be used to maintain a temperature range of 78-85 F, and a basking spot of 88 F. Night-time temperatures should not dip below 70-72 F. A ceramic heater or red/black reptile “night bulb” can be used to provide heat after dark. Humidity These rainforest denizens […]
[…]tadpoles that eat bark, a fanged frog that ambushes birds, large, colorful monitors, and a new Map Turtle from the USA.

The beautifully-colored and charmingly-pugnacious Argentine Horned Frog, Ceratophrys ornata, may be the world’s most popular amphibian pet. No matter how many rare and wonderful frogs I encounter, I always save a place for Horned Frogs in the zoo exhibits I manage and in my personal collection. Despite their size (females […]
[…]During the cooling off period, daytime temperatures can be kept at 81-83 F, with a warmer basking site available. At night, temperatures should be allowed to dip to 62-68 F (60-65 F if your anoles originated in the northern portion of the range). The daytime light cycle should gradually be […]
[…]can be allowed to drop to 75 F or so. A spotlight-type bulb should be used to create a basking spot of 90 F. Large enclosures are necessary if a thermal gradient (areas of different temperatures) is to be established. Thermal gradients, critical to good health, allow snakes to regulate […]
[…]bulbs or ceramic heaters should be used to maintain an ambient temperature of 72-78 F and a basking temperature of 83-85 F. Both humid and dry areas should be provided. A cave stocked with moist sphagnum moss makes an ideal moist retreat. Although UVB light is not essential, […]
[…]freeze dried shrimp, frozen and flake foods marketed for tropical fishes, moist algae tablets and turtle chow, small live and dead crickets, black worms and other invertebrates, and some fruits and vegetables. Calcium blocks will be used by some species, and powdered calcium should be mixed into their food as […]
[…]also called to a site where one was said to be swallowing a large Savanna Side-Necked Turtle, Podocnemis unifilis. The 14-15 foot long snake had given up or been outwitted by the time I arrived, but she bore long, narrow wounds along the neck – the result, perhaps, of trying […]
[…]a 5-foot-long Spectacled Caiman, a large Red-footed Tortoise, and a hefty Giant Side-necked Turtle. The world’s other giant constrictors – Reticulated, Burmese, Indian and African Rock Pythons – are also champion diners. The largest meal I’ve been able to track down in a published source is a 130 pound […]
[…] The ambient temperature of 78-85 F is ideal. An incandescent bulb should be used to create a basking spot of 90-95 F. Heat pads placed below the aquarium work well for Sand Boas, which rarely if ever emerge to bask. Heat pads do not effectively warm the air, and […]
[…]believe. While we’ve come a long way from when they were thought to thrive on sugar water and “turtle food” (ant pupae), many new keepers still misunderstand their needs. Green Anoles are prone to stress-related ailments, and should not be handled unnecessarily. Although small in size, they are very active…a […]
[…]temperatures vary widely among the different species. Ambient temperatures of 75-82 F, with a basking spot of 88-92 F, will suit most. Incandescent bulbs should be used to maintain temperatures. A ceramic heater or reptile night bulb can be employed after dark. Leopard Geckos and other nocturnal species may also […]
