[…]Turtles were exported from the USA between 2009 and 2011 (this excludes processed meat and eggs). Unfortunately, government regulation sometimes raises hackles among pet keepers. Throughout my career as a herpetologist, I’ve worked on numerous cooperative ventures between government agencies and private keepers – all showed promise, but were […]
[…](egg peritonitis); oxytocin injections usually resolve the problem quickly. The 6 -18 eggs may be incubated in moist vermiculite at 82-85 F for 55-80 days. Further Reading Turtle Water Quality Prepared Diets for […]
[…]fish food), can serve as the basis of their diet. Fire-Bellies often surprise their owners with eggs, offering an excellent introduction to amphibian breeding. Note: all newts produce skin toxins that can be harmful, and for certain species fatal, if swallowed; children must be supervised. Leopard Gecko, Eublepharis macularius […]
[…]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 […]
[…]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 […]
[…]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 […]
[…]Snakes produce unusually large clutches, which range in size from 20 to over 50 eggs. As the eggs are deposited below cover or within shallow burrows, a large nesting box should be provided to gravid females. Hatchlings measure 8 ½ – 11 inches in length. Temperament Rainbow Snakes are […]
[…]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”! […]
[…]length and width of the turtle) provisioned with 6-8 inches of slightly moist soil and sand. The eggs may be incubated in moist vermiculite at 82-84 F for 50-85 days. Gravid females that do not nest should be seen by a veterinarian as egg retention invariably leads to a […]
[…]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 […]
[…]its diet to toads, the Madagascar Giant Hognose takes toads, frogs, lizards, small mammals and the eggs of tortoises, lizards and birds with equal gusto. Captive adults readily accept mice and rats, but hatchlings often prefer lizard or toad-scented rodents at first. In time, they can be weaned-over to un-scented […]
[…]the male provides most or all of the parental care (please see photo of male Midwife Toad carrying eggs). Such eggs are generally deposited on land, and direct development (from egg to small frog) is typical. Chiromantis hansenae, by contrast, produces many tiny eggs and deposits them above-ground, and tadpoles […]
[…]fight, and often harass females with near-constant mating attempts. Breeding Three to five eggs are produced at a time, and females may deposit up to 4 clutches per year. Breeding usually occurs between August and December. Females sometimes have difficulty passing their eggs, especially if the diet lacks […]
[…]body is marked with black, and the legs are banded, but individuals vary. Maternal Care of Eggs and Young Female Dark Fishing Spiders carry their egg cases, which may contain up to 1,400 eggs, suspended between the chelicerae (fangs), pedipalps, and spinnerets (large wolf spiders, which resemble fishing spiders, […]
[…]basking bulb, or an additional one, should be used to warm the nesting area. Incubating the Eggs Senegal Chameleon eggs have been successfully incubated at temperatures ranging from 72 to 80 F. At 77 F, they typically hatch in 6 months. A high-quality reptile egg incubator is the surest […]
[…](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 […]
[…]to a fatal infection known as egg peritonitis. It is important to note that females may develop eggs even if un-mated, and that captives may produce several clutches each year. Eggs incubated at 82 F typically hatch in 62-75 days. Males may stress or bite females during mating […]
[…]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 […]
[…]commercial turtle foods are, thankfully, light years removed from the yesteryear’s dried “ant eggs” (actually ant pupae). While natural foods remain important, some remarkable advances now provide turtle keepers with an important safety net, and simplify the process of providing our pets with a balanced diet. Today I’ll review some […]
[…]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.
