The beautifully-colored and charmingly-pugnacious Argentine Horned Frog, Ceratophrys ornata, may be the world’s most popular amphibian pet. No matter how many rare and wonderful frogs I encounter, I always save a place for Horned Frogs in the zoo exhibits I manage and in my personal collection. Despite their size (females […]
[…]During the cooling off period, daytime temperatures can be kept at 81-83 F, with a warmer basking site available. At night, temperatures should be allowed to dip to 62-68 F (60-65 F if your anoles originated in the northern portion of the range). The daytime light cycle should gradually be […]
[…]can be allowed to drop to 75 F or so. A spotlight-type 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 […]
[…]bulbs or ceramic heaters should be used to maintain an ambient temperature of 72-78 F and a basking temperature of 83-85 F. Both humid and dry areas should be provided. A cave stocked with moist sphagnum moss makes an ideal moist retreat. Although UVB light is not essential, […]

[…]a 5-foot-long Spectacled Caiman, a large Red-footed Tortoise, and a hefty Giant Side-necked Turtle. The world’s other giant constrictors – Reticulated, Burmese, Indian and African Rock Pythons – are also champion diners. The largest meal I’ve been able to track down in a published source is a 130 pound […]
[…] The ambient temperature of 78-85 F is ideal. An incandescent bulb should be used to create a basking spot of 90-95 F. Heat pads placed below the aquarium work well for Sand Boas, which rarely if ever emerge to bask. Heat pads do not effectively warm the air, and […]
[…]believe. While we’ve come a long way from when they were thought to thrive on sugar water and “turtle food” (ant pupae), many new keepers still misunderstand their needs. Green Anoles are prone to stress-related ailments, and should not be handled unnecessarily. Although small in size, they are very active…a […]
[…]temperatures vary widely among the different species. Ambient temperatures of 75-82 F, with a basking spot of 88-92 F, will suit most. Incandescent bulbs should be used to maintain temperatures. A ceramic heater or reptile night bulb can be employed after dark. Leopard Geckos and other nocturnal species may also […]
