[…]Part I of this article for the exciting story behind the “re-discovery” of Australia’s Gold-Spotted Bell Frog (Litoria castanea), which was assumed by herpetologists to have been extinct since the 1970’s. Today I’d like to discuss my experiences breeding a close relative that sometimes appears in the pet trade, the […]
[…]movable eyelids. The genus name means “true eyelid” while the species name translates as “spotted”. In all other geckos, the eyelids are fused into an immobile, transparent cap known as the spectacle. As in snakes, the eyes thus remain permanently open. Also unique is the Leopard Gecko’s lack of adhesive […]
[…]all those that one might encounter. The following feeding recommendations can applied to Eastern Spotted, Ribbed, Japanese Fire-Bellied, Alpine, Paddle-Tailed, Crested and Marbled Newts, as well as to Mexican Axolotls. With a bit of fine-tuning, other species can be accommodated as well…please write in if you need further information. Basic […]
[…]species, but the best long term results will be achieved by providing a varied menu which includes roaches, waxworms, silkworms, grasshoppers, earthworms and other invertebrates. The “It Doesn’t Do Anything” Factor Ideally, the new tarantula owner will be interested in her or his pet for its own sake. But […]
[…]Color: Why are Red Frogs Red? Pigments known as carotenoids are responsible for most of the orange, red and yellow coloration exhibited by frogs. Color is important not just from an aesthetic point of view (or a monetary one, for those who breed “designer frogs”!) but may also affect breeding […]
[…]Keys vary greatly in appearance from northern populations, being various shades of yellow and orange in color instead of black. Formerly classified as distinct subspecies, known as Everglades ratsnakes and yellow ratsnakes – both also quite popular in the pet trade – they are now considered to be merely local […]
[…]a smaller, more attractive and personable turtle pet! At an adult size of 3.5 – 4.5 inches, Spotted Turtles rank among the world’s smallest Chelonians. They become as tame and confiding as any Slider, and will do fine on the Musk Turtle diet described earlier. Some individuals will also take […]
[…]reptiles and amphibians seems subject to a great many factors. For example, I have noticed that spotted and Eastern box turtles, and other temperate North American species, vary greatly in this regard. In captivity, wild-caught individuals usually slow down (activity and feeding) during the winter, even if kept warm and […]
[…]History The Crested Newt, which may reach 6.4 inches in length, is grayish to black above and orange with round black spots below. Living a largely terrestrial existence for most of the year, both sexes enter breeding ponds in late winter or early spring. At this point, the males’ […]
[…]Great Plains and Green Toads. With a bit of modification, your set-up will also accommodate Red-Spotted, Colorado River and Marine Toads, and others with slightly different needs. I’ll also mention money-saving alternatives to certain products, along with non-essential “extras” that can be added if you wish. Enclosure Toads spend their […]
[…]little if any vegetation in their diets. Chief among these are most of the Musk and Mud Turtles, Spotted Turtles, Diamondbacks and the various Softshells. Surprisingly, the Common Snapping Turtle, a voracious predator of animals ranging from tadpoles to ducks, also has distinct vegetarian leanings. Their preferences seem to be […]
[…]clawed), newts (eastern, marbled, ribbed), aquatic salamanders (sirens, axolotls) and turtles (spotted, painted, snapping, musk, mud). Tropical fish of all kinds also relish these shrimp, as do US natives such as Banded Sunfish and Tadpole Madtoms. I have also fed them to other freshwater invertebrates, such as Bamboo Shrimp, African […]
[…]sow bugs. Newts are simpler to feed than are terrestrial species, as nearly all (i.e. Red-Spotted, Crested, Paddle-tailed, Ribbed) will accept Zoo Med Aquatic Newt Food and Reptomin. These foods can anchor the diet, with live blackworms (sold in many pet stores as tropical fish food), guppies, chopped earthworms […]
[…]came upon the idea of using the Cone Worm Feeder many years ago when raising axolotl and red-spotted newt larvae. I fed them largely upon live blackworms, which always clump together, even when finely chopped. I found that larvae of both species sometimes choked to death while trying to swallow […]
[…]additional nutrients. I also offered this product (mixed with tropical fish flakes) to hissing roaches, earthworms, sow bugs, field crickets and earwigs, and was pleased to see that each consumed it with gusto. Other Cricket Diets and Water Sources House Crickets require a water source, but unlike many related species, […]
[…]top of the platform and tank’s wall form a nice underwater cave readily used by young painted, spotted, mud and other turtles. Next time we’ll take a look at a few species that have special needs, and I’ll add a note about an old turtle of mine that hides within […]
[…]at some of \this lizard’s interesting relatives. Description The Nosy Be Gecko is tan, gray, orange-brown or dark brown in color, with a reticulating dark pattern, skin projections and a short, pointed tail; the over-all appearance is remarkably similar to that of a decaying leaf. At 2-4 inches in length, […]
[…]in color and is marked with parallel rows of “almost square” black spots; a bright yellow or orange patch is present on the inner thighs. Pickerel frogs grow to a length of 2-3.5 inches and are slender in build. Range Found throughout much of eastern North America, from Nova Scotia […]

[…]of 82F. The carapace of the hatchlings, attractively marked in dark brown with a bright orange rim, is 1.4-1.6 inches long. Diet Keeled Box Turtles are reported to feed upon plants and fruits in the wild, but, judging from observations of captive animals, they likely consume carrion, insects, snails and […]
