[…]well-hydrated via frequent spraying or the use of a mister. An ambient temperature of 76F with a basking site of 85F and a nighttime dip to 69-70F suits them well. Breeding If you are lucky enough to obtain a breeding pair, you’ll have your hands full…healthy females may lay 20-70 […]
[…] The ambient temperature should range from 78-86 F. Incandescent bulbs can be used to create a basking site of 90-95 F. Ceramic heaters or red/black reptile night bulbs may be employed to provide heat after dark. If needed, under-tank heaters can be used to further warm the basking surface. Provide […]
[…]recall finding a wild anaconda with a mouth injury suffered while trying to swallow a side-necked turtle (Podocnemis vogli), another that had a white-tailed deer, antlers and all, stuck in its throat, and a 5’10” yellow rat snake that tried to down a deer fawn on St. Catherine’s Island, off […]
[…]fare best at a temperature range of 80-85 F. An incandescent bulb should be used to create a basking spot of 90 F. Large enclosures are necessary if a thermal gradient (areas of different temperatures) is to be established. Thermal gradients, critical to good health, allow snakes to regulate […]
[…]its feeding, and will impair digestion. An incandescent spotlight bulb should be used to create a basking site of 100-110 F. The rest of the terrarium should be kept at a temperature range of 72-85 F. Like all desert-dwelling diurnal lizards, Bearded Dragons require high UVB levels. If a […]
[…]me to believe that, at least in llanos habitat, these lizards consume far more large insects, turtle eggs and frogs than rodents. Mammals are taken when available, mainly as carrion or unearthed rodent nests. I have kept tegus for lengthy periods on rodent-based diets but now counsel more variety…I suggest […]
[…]early morning and evenings. An ambient temperature of 70-77 F should be established, along with a basking temperature of 78 F; a dip to 68 F at night may be beneficial. Some keepers indicate that their snakes show a decided preference for subdued lighting. Shedding difficulties often occur […]
[…]most useful. This lets us easily pair UVB and heat bulbs, assuring greater UVB exposure for basking reptiles. The creation of thermal gradients is also simplified. Thermal gradients, which allow animals to move from warm to cooler areas, are critical to good health. The Zoo Med Mini Combo Deep Dome […]

[…]that I have kept on such diets have reproduced and even set or approached longevity records (musk turtle, still alive at age 40; marine toads, 20+ years; African clawed frog, 19 years; weather loach, 19 years). My experience is echoed by many of the prominent hobbyists and herpetologists with whom […]
