[…]An increase in water depth may stimulate breeding outside of the normal cycle, but fewer viable eggs will be produced). Upon emergence from hibernation, the newts should be housed in aquarium, or their terrestrial terrarium should be modified to provide a large water area. Resting sites such as cork bark […]
[…]to a fatal infection known as egg peritonitis. It is important to note that females may develop eggs even if un-mated, and that captives may produce several clutches each year. Eggs incubated at 82 F typically hatch in 62-75 days. Males may stress or bite females during mating […]
[…]crabs, crayfish and squid. Pinkies or small mice may be provided once weekly, and hard-boiled eggs can be used on occasion. All meals (other than fishes, crabs and rodents) offered to growing monitors should be powdered with calcium, and a high-quality reptile vitamin/mineral supplement should be used 3x weekly. I […]
[…]protecting them from predators and desiccation. It is not known if incubating females leave the eggs to feed. The 30-200 eggs, which are attached to each other in string-like fashion, are deposited in June/July in the northern part of the range and in Jan. /Feb. in the south. Inundation […]
[…]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 […]
[…]occupied by the endangered burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), displacing the birds and destroying eggs and chicks in the process. Ever hungry, the 4-6 foot long behemoths also assist the spread of undesirable invasive plants by eating their fruits and dispersing the seeds in their feces. Among one of their most […]
[…]body is marked with black, and the legs are banded, but individuals vary. Maternal Care of Eggs and Young Female Dark Fishing Spiders carry their egg cases, which may contain up to 1,400 eggs, suspended between the chelicerae (fangs), pedipalps, and spinnerets (large wolf spiders, which resemble fishing spiders, […]
[…]male frogs in the wild are being found to have inter-sex characteristics, including immature eggs within the testes. A recent Harvard University study found such characteristics in 21% of the male green frogs, Rana clamitans, in ponds in suburban Connecticut. It seemed that the affected frogs were more common in […]
[…]Music Frog is native to marshy habitats in central and southwestern China. Females deposit their eggs in burrows constructed by the males, and the tadpoles develop there as well. The ability to construct a safe burrow is, therefore, an important consideration when females go “mate shopping”. You can see photos […]
[…]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 […]
[…]become involved in all aspects of marine turtle field work – counting and re-locating eggs, monitoring nest success, and, most thrilling of all, tagging the huge females at night as they finish nesting (often carried out while mounted on the turtle as she scrambles for the sea!). Depending upon the […]
[…]Frogs”. Treefrogs that Break the “Frog Breeding Rules” Some treefrogs deposit their eggs on leaves over water, while others breed in tree hollows in the forest canopy. It was recently discovered that the tadpoles of India’s Brown Leaping Frog live on tree limbs and eat bark, while those of […]
[…]usually occurs within a month after the snakes are returned to optimal temperatures, with 6-10 eggs being deposited 40-60 days thereafter. The eggs hatch in 55-62 days when incubated at 80-84 F and 95% humidity. The hatchlings average 12-16 inches long, and shed within their first 2 weeks. In contrast […]
[…]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 […]
[…]by grappling, often rising onto their hind legs during tests of strength. All species lay eggs. Diet All monitors are alert, effective predators, with the various species taking an incredibly huge array of prey – termites and other insects, snails, spiders, crayfish and other invertebrates, birds and their eggs, frogs, […]
[…]expertise. In my work as a rehabilitator, I have been involved in removing and incubating eggs from road-killed Diamondback Terrapins, fashioning a “skateboard” for a 3-legged Ornate Box Turtle and a partial plastic carapace for a Gopher Tortoise, and many other interesting rescue efforts. Marine and freshwater species are also […]
[…]Turtles were exported from the USA between 2009 and 2011 (this excludes processed meat and eggs). Unfortunately, government regulation sometimes raises hackles among pet keepers. Throughout my career as a herpetologist, I’ve worked on numerous cooperative ventures between government agencies and private keepers – all showed promise, but were […]
[…]with enthusiasm! Male African bullfrogs are diligent parents – they defend the eggs and dig channels to bring water to their tadpoles. You can learn more […]
[…]ponds, vernal pools, and marshes as winter ends (December in the south, May in the north). The eggs are attached to submerged vegetation at or near the water’s surface, often in areas that receive a good deal of sunlight. The eggs hatch in 8-24 days. The tadpoles feed upon algae […]
[…]lizards ate just about everything they came across – other lizards, snakes, turtle and bird eggs, small mammals, fish, frogs, crabs, large insects and carrion – and were major predators in this flooded grassland habitat. I managed to catch a few young tegus, but old, battle-scarred individuals were impossible to […]
