[…]it follows that diurnal amphibians will receive some exposure. On the other hand, the skin and eggs of some amphibians contain chemicals that filter-out UVB. We still have a great deal to learn. Providing UVB to Pet Reptiles and Amphibians Natural sunlight is the best source of UVB, but please […]
[…]wrestle for dominance during the mating season (please see photo). Females deposit 6-17 eggs in mammal burrows, termite mounds, tree hollows and similar sites.

[…]species for much of their lives. Reproduction Limited observations indicate that several hundred eggs are attached to aquatic vegetation in quiet pools among the rapids. The tadpole stage lasts for 2.5 to 3 months. In common with certain other frogs that inhabit noisy, rushing streams, Goliath Frogs produce no mating […]
[…]pink mice can be offered 1-2 times weekly. Canned snails and grasshoppers, and hard-boiled eggs, can be used to provide variety. Nile Monitors and similar species fare well on mice and rats alone; whole freshwater fishes are an excellent rodent-alternative for Water and Merten’s Monitors. Food (other than vertebrates) should […]
[…]low intakes. As a corner filters outflow is directed upwards, strong currents that might disturb eggs, larvae or weak-swimmers are avoided. Corner filters can be easily hidden with plants. Live Java Moss is ideal for this purpose. Sponge Filters Sponge filters provide mechanical and biological filtration, and are ideal for […]
[…]time to look and learn. Frogs that dye human skin yellow, snakes that specialize in eating only eggs or snails, iridescent skinks sporting tails twice their body length…the list is simply astounding. Today I’ll highlight a few that have especially captivated me; please post your own favorites (whether covered here […]

[…]orange to grayish-brown as it matures. There are some indications that females remain with their eggs for a time. Unique scalation lends the alternative common name of Keel-scaled Boa.

[…]skin folds (for oxygen absorption) suit the Ghost Frog for life near fast-moving streams. Its eggs have never been found. Hellbender, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis As a child, I was fascinated by this heaviest of North America’s salamanders, and couldn’t imagine why grown men considered it “from hell” and would reportedly cut a […]
