[…]A simple terrarium re-location may save time, effort and money. Terrarium ambient and basking temperatures should be carefully monitored, day and night; a huge array of herp-specific thermometers greatly simplifies this task.

On return visits to the river, the children were happy to see both turtles and water snakes utilizing […]
