[…]Three subspecies are known. Many are blue-gray and attractively marked with 3 stripes of pinkish-orange or reddish brown, but natural variations are seemingly endless. Several individuals that I encountered while studying insects in Baja California, Mexico stand out as being among the most beautiful snakes I’ve seen. A number of […]

[…]Vitamins E and A, for many vertebrate species. A Valuable Food for Many Pets I have raised spotted and red salamanders and green, bronze and leopard frogs from metamorphosis through adulthood on an earthworm-only diet, and use them for 50-75% of the diets of many other amphibians. Although refused by […]
[…]in other countries certainly hold it in high esteem. Unlike most turtles, the brilliant red, orange and yellow highlights do not fade with age – some of mine even appeared to intensify as time when on! I consider the Painted Turtle a much better choice as a pet than the […]
[…]creatures that might need a bit of help exiting the water. I’ve also used this model for a spotted turtle that lost his rear legs in an accident…the gentle slope allows him to easily climb on board. In most situations, I prefer suspended platforms to rock piles, as the former […]
[…]much of Central and South America (Panama to Northern Argentina). Black rings on a rich red-orange background mark the most highly desirable of these, the Brazilian Rainbow Boa (E. c. cenchria).

[…]eagerly anticipate regular feeding times. Typically colored jet-black and mottled with bright orange or yellow, one subspecies, Salamandra salamandra fastuosa is largely bright yellow with bold black lines going down the body, legs, and tail (please see photo).

[…]had success in overwintering some aquatic species outdoors (i.e. Sliders, Snappers, Musk, Mud, Spotted and Painted Turtles, Green and Bullfrogs, Northern Watersnakes) but my best results were in large outdoor zoo exhibits rather than backyard ponds. In both my pens and natural situations, I was several times surprised to […]
[…]murinus, in Venezuela. Other notable Anaconda meals include a Red-Footed Tortoise and a Yellow-Spotted Side-Necked Turtle (please see article below for details and other observations). However, when viewed in terms of predator vs. prey mass, the Hog-nosed Snake meals mentioned above are the largest I know of. Aquatic Surprises Most […]
[…]natural history and husbandry, and in part 2 I’ll cover individual species such as Eastern Red-Spotted, Fire-Bellied and California Newts. Newt or Salamander? The terms Newt and Salamander are used interchangeably, with Newt usually being applied to semi-aquatic animals within the family Salamandridae. The 79+ species in this family dwell in the […]
[…]Function and Sources Various plant pigments known as carotenoids are responsible for the yellow-orange color of egg yolks and skin among a huge array of animals. They also play a role in neonatal health, benefit the immune system by acting as antioxidants and function in the reproductive system. Animals cannot […]
[…]and T. scincoides) are well established in the trade and relatively hardy (captive longevity approaches 30 years) in captivity. Inquisitive, handle-able and with easily met dietary requirements (live insects not needed!), Blue Tongues are becoming ever more popular among lizard fanciers. Which Skink is Which? Blue Tongue Skink taxonomy is […]
[…]but please see the note at the beginning of this article. Sands of gold, black, white, mauve, orange and other colors allow one to mimic specific habitats when setting up terrariums. Further Reading Please see my article Substrates for Animals Prone to Intestinal Blockages for more on this […]
[…]red-headed side-necked turtles, midland painted turtles, axolotls, tiger salamander larvae, red-spotted newts, sharp-ribbed newts, African clawed frogs and many others…with fine results in each case. I heartily recommend that you include krill as part of the diets of your aquatic reptile and amphibian pets. Frozen Foods for Large and Small […]
[…]and other hefty prey items, but captives fare well on a diet comprised of earthworms, crickets, roaches and other invertebrates. In properly-designed displays under night-simulating lighting, centipedes are fascinating to observe, but they are not well-suited to private collections (please see below). Centipedes in the Pet Trade I do […]
[…]exhibiting rich and complicated patterns and hues of blue, green, black and, in some, red and orange. Captive Care Flying Snakes are rear-fanged and produce mild venom. The venom affects only the animals upon which they feed, and is not considered dangerous to people, but care should be exercised by […]
[…]sports a “typical” monitor build and averages 3-4 feet in length, with some individuals approaching 5 feet. Hatchlings and very young individuals are brilliantly clad in black and orange. Adults are attractively-marked in various shades of brown and tan. Extremely sharp claws (even by monitor standards!) assist it in climbing. […]
[…]are common in Java, and yellow specimens are known from Thailand and the Philippines. Orange and yellow/black speckled strains are being selectively-bred in the pet trade. Red-tailed ratsnakes average 5 feet in length, with rare individuals reaching 7.5 feet. Females are generally longer and stouter than males. Range Red-tailed ratsnakes […]
[…]the likelihood of ingestion. Moisture Retention: in some instances, such as where Poison Frogs or Spotted Salamanders are being kept, we will want a substrate that retains water and remains moist.
