Often abundant and easy to collect, it has long been a pet trade staple. Some Cautions Despite its long history in captivity, the Senegal does not breed regularly, […]
[…]White’s treefrogs usually feed vigorously, taking ¼ inch crickets, small waxworms, roach nymphs and similarly sized insects. If you are raising a large number of frogs, consider culturing flightless houseflies (available via biological supply houses). These insects are ideally sized, readily digestible and reproduce rapidly. The Zoo Med Bug Napper […]
[…]general) and for additional newt-keeping observations. Tiny Newt vs. Giant Toad The familiar red-spotted or Eastern newt (Notopthalmus viridescens) is at its most toxic in the immature eft (land) stage, but the aquatic adults are none-the-less well protected. Decades ago, the mascot of an animal importer for whom I worked […]
[…]with enthusiasm to moths, beetles and other wild caught insects. Please see my article on Raising Orange-Spotted Roaches for more information. I believe it to be very important to offer a variety of invertebrates to bent-toed geckos. If at all possible, try to collect local insects…the Zoo Med Bug Napper […]
[…]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 the form of wild invertebrates. My first crude outdoor pen, populated by green frogs and spotted turtles, provided, even to an unskilled 10-year-old, a first peek at herp reproduction and hibernation. An outdoor aviary equipped with a can provide a lifetime of enjoyment….if you focus on native species, your […]
[…]are also useful options for owners of large insectivorous pets. Please see my articles The Orange Spotted Roach and Cicadas for details. For information on other types of canned invertebrates, please see Canned Insects and Other Invertebrates. Crayfishes are an ideal, high calcium food for many large herps. Where legal, […]
[…]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 […]
[…]5 feet in length, with exceptional individuals nearing 7 feet. They vary in color from red to orange/mahogany-brown, and are patterned with dark lateral rings and spots. In sunlight, the colors are brilliantly iridescent. Range The most commonly available subspecies, E. c. cenchria, is found from southern Venezuela, Guyana […]

Invertebrates Reptomin is eagerly accepted by crayfishes, fresh water shrimp and most aquatic snails, as well as a number of terrestrial invertebrates […]
[…]changing their behavior. Males in breeding condition may exhibit a deepening of coloration in the orange-tinted areas of the head and body, and may head-bob and erect their crests. Waxy secretions are usually present along the femoral pores, and dried semen is often found in their cages. However, these changes […]
[…]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.

[…]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 […]
[…](this varies with temperature and stocking levels). Miscellaneous The reduced wing size in female orange-spotted roaches (and similar species) is attributed to paedomorphosis, or the retention of juvenile characteristics, rather than to wing growth inhibition. Flight muscle is, metabolically, one of the most active of animal tissues, and very “expensive” […]
[…]in private and public collections for a range of amphibians, including Argentine horned frogs, spotted salamanders and Surinam toads. It has been successful against fungus (most likely Saprolegnia) and certain bacteria associated with wounds and “red leg”. I’ve had mixed success in using it to combat fungus on amphibian eggs […]
[…]and marked with numerous, generally oblong blotches of tan, light brown, reddish-brown or yellow-orange. The color of wild specimens varies tremendously among different populations, with pied and even albino individuals reportedly being encountered more frequently than is usual among other snake species.
