Overview Every so often I like to cover a species that, while not recommended as a pet, is well worth a closer look. One such lizard that I have had the good fortune of working with is endemic to North America, the strikingly-marked Gila Monster. Note: Gila Monsters are bred […]
[…]also provide beneficial UVA. Heat The ambient air temperature should range from 82-95 F, with a basking spot of 95-100 F. Incandescent bulbs should be used to maintain these temperatures. A ceramic heater or red/black night bulb can be used after dark. Humidity Green Iguanas favor humidity levels of 65-75%, […]
[…]be expected, and fare best at a 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 […]
Throughout my long career as a zookeeper and pet keeper, I have used wild caught insects to improve the diets of the amphibians, reptiles, fishes, invertebrates and birds under my care. While some cautions apply, the benefits conferred by the nutritional value of such foods far outweigh the risks involved. […]
Overview The frilled dragon was a creature of legend to budding American herpetologists growing up in the 60’s and 70’s – we devoured what little published information existed, but seeing one alive was out of the question, short of a trip to its habitat. It is still hard for me […]
[…]you to observe them after dark. Heat Ambient air temperatures should range from 75-82 F, with a basking spot of 86 F. Large enclosures will allow for the establishment of a thermal gradient (areas of different temperatures). Thermal gradients, critical to good health, enable lizards to regulate their body temperature […]
Over 900 of the world’s 40,000+ spider species are commonly known as tarantulas (family Theraphosidae). Among them we find a staggering diversity of sizes, colors, and lifestyles, and many species that make interesting, long-lived pets. In the early 1980’s, I had the chance to work with the huge collection of […]
Overview The spectacularly colored blue poison frog is now so well established in the pet trade that it seems hard to believe that the animal was not scientifically described until 1969 (by Dutch herpetologist M. Hoogmoed). The care of this highly desirable little frog is well understood, and I will […]
The wonderfully bizarre Malayan Leaf Frog, Megophrys nasuta, has always been a somewhat difficult species to keep. However, we now have a better understanding of its needs, and captive breeding is becoming more regular. As it turns out, the Malayan Leaf Frog’s reproductive behavior is as unusual as its appearance. […]
Overview Recently I wrote about those tiny jewels of the frog world, Latin America’s poison frogs (Article Part I and II). Today I’ll introduce you to a behemoth that is largely their direct opposite, the massive Marine Toad – at once one of the world’s most interesting and troublesome of […]
