[…]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 […]
[…]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 […]
[…]is native or was introduced to control rats (it seems better at controlling chickens and their eggs than rats!). Mammals Guam was home to only three native mammals, all bats. Two have been extirpated by the snake, and the Marianas Fruit Bat is now limited to a single small […]

[…]from the lower jaw! The newly-described Vampire Flying Frog, Rhacophorus vampyrus, deposits eggs in water-filled tree hollows high above the ground, but as yet we know little about the natural history of its most unusual tadpoles. Amazingly, Dr. Rowley also discovered another frog, the Quang’s Treefrog, Gracixalus quangi, and […]
[…]that most amphibians, especially largely-aquatic species such as African Clawed Frogs and Mexican Axolotls, absorb water and dissolved chemicals over a much greater surface area than do fishes (scale-less fishes, such as eels, loaches and most catfishes, are similar to amphibians in this regard). In fact, when we administer fish […]
[…]prey, which includes a surprisingly-wide array of creatures. Rodents, rabbits, birds and their eggs, lizards, frogs and even small turtles are taken. Snakes, including rattlesnakes and other venomous species, feature heavily in the diets of some populations. I have first-hand experience with impressive biting power packed by most rodents, and […]
[…]and green crabs, crayfish and squid. Mice should be provided once weekly, and hard-boiled eggs can be used on occasion. All meals offered to growing monitors should be powdered with calcium, and a high-quality reptile vitamin/mineral supplement should be used 3x weekly. I favor ReptoCal, ReptiVite and ReptiCal. Rodents […]
[…]Like most of its relatives, it searches moist leaf litter for snails, slugs, frog and salamander eggs and, perhaps, earthworms. Unfortunately, it is already facing an uncertain future, as iron ore mining may destroy its only habitat. It was named in support of local people who oppose further destruction of […]
[…]no bounds – ground squirrels, rats and other rodents, possums, rabbits, bats, birds and their eggs, lizards, frogs, and other snakes are all consumed with equal gusto. Chickens and ducks (and cats, I’ll bet!) are taken near farms and villages. Tiger Ratsnakes as Pets It’s difficult for most snake enthusiasts […]
[…]season. Amplexus and egg-deposition occurs on land. Thereafter, males guard their 20-40 large eggs for approximately 20 days. Once the tadpoles begin moving within the eggs, they are taken into the male’s mouth and maneuvered through openings that lead into the vocal sac. Perhaps as an adaptation to its most unusual […]
[…]in 1-7 hours, and can include 50 -350 individual egg-laying trips to the surface; as many as 1,000 eggs may be deposited. The Eggs The tiny (2 mm diameter) eggs float and stick to aquatic plants. Those of H. curtipes are brownish in color; H. boettgeri eggs are a bit […]
[…]to manipulate the hatchlings’ sexes. Please post below for further information. When removing eggs from a terrarium, be sure to make a small pencil mark at the top of each, so that they are not accidentally rotated. Oils from the skin can clog air pores, so use powder free gloves […]
[…]below if you need a reference to a local veterinarian experienced in turtle care. Hatching the Eggs While the eggs of Common Snapping Turtles and other consummate survivors will often do well at room temperatures (in a hot room, in summer), a reptile egg incubator will greatly simplify the hatching […]
[…]arrives. Please see these articles for further information on collecting insects. Incubating the Eggs Eggs may be incubated in vermiculite or moist sphagnum moss. I prefer to use a vermiculite and water in a 1:1 ratio by weight (please see this article for details on setting this up), but success […]
[…]suffocation as the cause of death. Reproduction Females guard and incubate clutches of 20-100 eggs, which hatch in approximately 90 days. Hatchlings typically measure 16-24 inches in length. Taxonomy Many herpetologists classify the African Rock Python as Python sebae. Others recognize two subspecies – P. s. sebae, the Northern African […]
[…]pet food. They are also extremely interesting in their own right, with females caring for their eggs and actually carrying food to the young! Why Earwigs? Earwigs are readily accepted by a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, tarantulas, fishes, and scorpions, and provide nutrients absent from commercially-reared insects. They are […]
[…]and Odd Snake Meals From Caiman, Siamese Cats and African Hunting Dogs to centipedes and frog eggs, snakes have been observed feeding on many “unexpected” food items. In Venezuela, a Green Anaconda grabbed my co-worker, in what appeared to be a feeding attempt, while a recent study documented 150 Reticulated […]
[…]over plants is a useful option. Breeding Well-nourished females may produce 2-3 clutches of 10-50 eggs yearly. Incubation periods of 6-8 months have been recorded, and the young reach sexual maturity 6-8 month of age. Captive reproduction can be tricky; please post below for further information. Handling Chameleons are best […]
[…]the family Dendrobatidae or Aromobatidae. Those species that have been studied deposit their eggs on land. Males transport the tadpoles to water at varying points in their development. Most of the new frog’s relatives seem to have very small natural ranges. Any disturbance, even carefully-planned ecotourism, may put them at […]
