[…]inches respectively, and also produce UVA and heat. In many home situations, they can double as a basking light and UVB source, eliminating the need for other bulbs. Which Reptile UVB Bulb is Best? Choosing a UVB source had once been easy – unfiltered sunlight was the only source […]
It is well known that many species of lizard, turtle and crocodilian require ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength (290-310 nanometers) in order to synthesize Vitamin D3. This vitamin, in turn, allows the reptiles to make use of the calcium in their diets. Such reptiles (which generally bask in the […]

Sporting a beautiful carapace that is deeply etched with concentric rings, and clad in a bewildering array of gray, silver and black markings, this estuary specialist does, however, present a few challenges to prospective keepers.

This is especially true of those animals which zoos lack the interest […]

I remember well my shock when the news concerning temperature dependant sex determination (TDSD) among reptiles first broke. Imagine…a turtle or crocodile egg can develop as either a male or female, depending upon the incubation temperature! Well, it now seems that at least one species of lizard, the three-lined skink […]
