[…]populations breed where fishes are present, but only if dense aquatic plant cover is available. Spotted salamanders are members of the family Ambystomatidae – the mole salamanders. True to this name, the terrestrial adults spend most of their lives below logs or underground in self-excavated burrows or in those dug […]
[…]Morning Singers I once released a group of Tokay geckoes into a large zoo exhibit as a roach control measure (well, to be honest, mainly because I liked to watch them go about their business at night – few lizards can keep up with roach reproduction!). In those days I […]
[…]simple technique, I’ve rid quite sizable exhibits, holding rooms and basements of established roach and cricket populations. Glue Traps Molasses can also be used to lure roaches and crickets onto glue traps, but most remain alive for some time. Killing the trapped insects, as I preferred to do when glue […]
[…]wings and legs are indigestible; use the smallest acceptable size (please see article below). Orange-Spotted Roaches (Blaptica dubia) This insect’s soft exoskeleton suits it well as a salamander food. By setting up a breeding colony, you can assure a steady supply of suitably-sized roaches for both small and large salamanders. […]
[…]breeding ponds by late July or August, after which the ponds usually dry up. Miscellaneous Adult spotted salamanders have lungs but rely largely upon cutaneous respiration (the absorption of oxygen through the skin). The skin must remain moist if this form of respiration is to be effective – they are […]
[…]skins, amphibians are especially sensitive to changes in water quality. The recent finding that Spotted Salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) may be evolving defenses against roadside toxins is a rare light at the end of the rather dismal “amphibian conservation” tunnel. “Salt Water” Salamanders Yale University researchers report (Science Papers, January, 2012) […]
[…]was first described from a single specimen collected over 70 years ago. Glowing patches on the roach’s body lead predators to confuse with a toxic click beetle. While several roaches gain protection by mimicking noxious beetles (i.e. the popularly-kept Domino Roach) no others, and indeed no other terrestrial animals, do so […]
[…]Snails usually reproduce readily in captivity, and small specimens will be eagerly devoured by spotted salamanders. A single adult spotted salamander requires an enclosure of approximately the size of a 10 gallon aquarium. Spotted salamanders may also be kept in ventilated sweater boxes on sheet moss or paper […]
[…](E. notaeus) regularly appears in zoos and the pet trade, but field studies are lacking. Dark-Spotted or De Schauensee’s Anaconda, Eunectes deschauenseei Although described as a distinct species back in 1936, the habits of the Dark-Spotted Anaconda remain unstudied, and it rarely appears in public collections. While working with Green […]
[…]following articles to learn about the proper care of feeder insects: Cricket Care Mealworm Care Roach Care When wild-caught insects are unavailable, the main portion of the diet should not be crickets, but rather a mix of roaches, crickets, butterworms, super mealworms and waxworms. Caterpillars such as silkworms and tomato […]
