[…]consume insects, fish, carrion, snails and crayfish (the preferred diet of juveniles). The yellow-spotted sideneck sometimes utilizes a feeding method known as neustophagia to filter particulate food matter from the water’s surface. The turtle opens its jaws at the surface and rapidly pumps the throat, which has the effect of […]
[…]so the program has great potential, and may serve as a template for rescuing the even rarer Gold-Spotted Bell Frog. I think there is a lesson for herp keepers to be learned here – study and breed whatever animal catches your interest, as studies of even the most common amphibians […]
[…]a few sea creatures glow in the dark, luminescence is rare among land dwellers. But the Lightening Roach, known from only a single specimen collected in Guatemala, has developed this ability to a remarkable degree. Entomologists theorize that this light-producing roach mimics a toxic, glowing click beetle found in the […]
[…]height of the breeding season for many North American amphibians. Terrestrial species such as Spotted and Tiger Salamanders, Wood and Gray Treefrogs, Spring Peepers and others leave their burrows or hibernation sites and journey in huge numbers to their breeding ponds. The entire population of an area usually makes the […]
[…]needed. Due to a high fat content (58%) and thick exoskeleton, they are best used sparingly. Orange-Spotted Roaches (Blaptica dubia) This insect has a soft exoskeleton and rarely flies. They can be housed in bare-bottomed aquariums or sweater boxes stocked with egg crate or paper towel rolls. Fine “insect screening” […]
[…]making a comeback. It sports a yellow-rimmed, olive-gray carapace, with large, bright yellow or orange-yellow spots decorating the head. The Yellow Spotted Sideneck inhabits northern and central South America, from Guyana, French Guiana and Venezuela to Columbia, Ecuador, northeastern Peru, northern Bolivia and Brazil; it may also be present […]
[…]quality and clarity, and will extend the time between filter medium changes. Light and Heat Yellow-spotted sidenecks are heliothermic (sun-basking) reptiles and require a source of UVB light in order to produce Vitamin D3 (which is required for calcium metabolism). The Zoo Med Power Sun UV Mercury Vapor Bulb provides […]
[…]NY in mid-March). Amazingly, a species of green algae, Oophila amblystomatis, colonizes the spotted salamander’s globular egg masses. The algae most likely utilizes carbon dioxide and ammonia produced by the developing salamander embryos, and may in turn provide the embryos with oxygen (although the amount released is quite low). There […]

[…]bred by hobbyists. Although somewhat shy at first, most soon learn to rush over for food when approached. Spotted Turtles must be watched carefully if housed in groups. Males often harass females with mating attempts, and may stress or bite them in the process. Males should not be kept together, […]
[…](Canada) biologists shocked the herp world by announcing that they had found living algae within Spotted Salamander cells, functioning as it does in the egg mass. This is the closest known association between a vertebrate and a plant, mimicking in some ways the relationship between algae and coral. This discovery […]
[…]It occupies a small range that extends from southern Georgia to northern Florida. The Black-Spotted Newt (Notopthalmus meridionalis), also a distinct species, has large black spots in place of the Eastern Newt’s red ones. It occurs from south Texas into Mexico and is limited to the moist areas around ponds […]
[…]has a wider distribution. Four subspecies have been described. The olive-green, red-spotted adult newts are aquatic, and at one time were a pet trade mainstay. Many states now prohibit collection, but where ownership is legal they make wonderful introductions to amphibian care (please see the article below). In […]
[…]these are an ideal food source for both young and adult individuals. Soft-bodied roaches (i.e. Orange-Spotted Roaches) and silkworms are also favored. Young Green Basilisks should be maintained at 80 F, and have access to a basking site of 85-90 F. Sexual maturity is usually reached by age 18 months, […]
[…]their diets and temperaments suit them ideally to community terrariums. Compatible animals include spotted, tiger, marbled, slimy and other terrestrial salamanders (see photo), wood frogs (see photo), gray, barking, green and other native treefrogs and land snails. Assuming that space permits the establishment of a warm basking area (without over-heating […]
[…]have a pair of white stripes on the head, but the body itself may be solid in color, striped or spotted. As you can imagine, breeders have great fun creating new colors and patterns, and a wide array are now available. Anyone looking for experience in color morph creation need […]
[…]especially for growing youngsters. Many will accept canned insects from feeding tongs. Spotted Salamander, Ambystoma maculatum This large, boldly-marked salamander spends most of its life below-ground in woodlands, but is often seen when migrating to breeding ponds in early spring. A 10 gallon aquarium stocked with damp sphagnum moss, a […]
[…]monstrosity”. I have written articles about axolotl relatives as well. Please see: The Spotted Salamander, Ambystoma maculatum – Part I and Part II Algae and Salamander Eggs – an odd partnership The abstract of an International Zoo Yearbook article detailing the use of the axolotl as a “flagship species” for […]
[…]in Captivity West Africa’s White-Spotted Assassin Bug (Platymeris biguttatus) and the Red-Spotted Assassin (P. rhadamanthus) of East Africa are the species most commonly offered for sale in the USA. I’ll cover their care in Part 2 of this article. A number of North America’s many native species make fascinating terrarium subjects […]
[…]insect screening over their terrariums to prevent escapes. Environment and Breeding Red and White-Spotted Assassins can be kept in large colonies. They seem to prefer other insects to one-another as food…cannibalism is not a concern as long as they are well-fed and sprayed frequently with water. Both are rainforest inhabitants, […]
