Providing career advice is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. There are many resources available to aspiring zoologists and herpetologists, but deciding the best path to take can be a confusing process. Today I’d like to provide some guidelines drawn from my experiences and those […]
[…]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 […]
Snakes are well known for their abilities to survive long fasts – up to 2 years in some cases – without ill effect. Working with ball pythons, diamondback rattlesnakes and various rat snakes, researchers at the University of Arkansas have recently shown that fasting snakes slow their metabolisms by up […]
[…]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 […]
[…]one might imagine. Incandescent bulbs should be used to maintain a temperature of 75-77 F, and a basking spot of 85 F. At night, a dip to 72 F is beneficial A ceramic heater or red/black reptile “night bulb” can be used to provide heat after dark. Large enclosures are […]
In the late 1980’s I was privileged to breed the now rarely-seen Smoky Jungle Frog, Leptodactylus pentadactylus, a large (8 inch snout-vent length) Latin American native that constructs foam nests on land. In the wild, rain washes the tadpoles into a nearby pool, where they develop in normal frog fashion…following […]
[…]and fare best in a temperature range of 70-78 F. An incandescent bulb should be used to create a basking spot of 85 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 […]
In the year 2000 I had the good fortune to work with the world’s sole surviving group of Kihansi Spray Toads (Nectophrynoides asperginis). Last seen in the wild in 2004, and declared extinct in nature soon after, the 499 individuals sent to the Bronx and Toledo Zoos represented the species’ […]
[…]temperature requirements will be slightly different. For example, a rat snake only needs a basking temperature of about 85 degrees, where as a bearded dragon prefers to have one around 110 degrees. Know the heat output of the bulb that you are currently using Most manufacturers post a chart […]
Please see Parts I and II of this article for information on growing terrestrial and aquatic food plants for reptiles and amphibians. Aquatic Invertebrates A startling variety of aquatic invertebrates will likely establish themselves in almost any body of standing water, be it a backyard pond or a container of […]
