[…]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 […]
We all love our reptiles, but most of us loathe their lunch. Many reptiles that we commonly keep as pets are insectivores, and the most commonly available feeder insect is the domestic cricket. Yes, you read that correctly, “domestic.” Scientifically referred to as Acheta domesticus, the type of crickets sold […]
[…]Toads are among the champion “summer sleepers”. Turtles and Tortoises Despite a propensity for basking, tropical climes and deserts, Chelonians are not immune to temperature stress. Some species, such as Big Headed and Bog Turtles, are known to favor rather cool temperatures. While they may not expire in the manner […]
[…]aquariums. Koi ponds sometimes contain shelves meant to hold plants; these work well as turtle basking areas. Outdoor housing is ideal, assuming that raccoons and other predators can be excluded. Although highly aquatic, all map turtles need a dry surface on which to bask. Commercial turtle docks will suffice […]
[…]inspection! Snappers are about as cold-tolerant as a turtle can be…several years ago I found one basking on February 16th. By mid-April, they are usually their normal feisty selves, ready and willing to do battle…not so this cold, old fellow. We saw none of the American bullfrogs that […]

Having been involved with spider care in zoos and private collections from an early age (and at a time when only 1-2 tarantula species were […]

[…]observed. Heat Indian Sand Boas do well at an ambient temperature range of 78-85 F, and with a basking temperature of 90-95 F. As they rarely bask on the surface, a sub-tank heat pad should also be employed along with an incandescent bulb. General Care In common with other […]
[…]you can easily limit costs. A Flying Gecko needs only a 10 gallon aquarium with a low-wattage basking bulb, and a diet of small live insects…much less expensive than a 6 foot-long Water Monitor kept in a room-sized cage supplied year-round with powerful heat lamps and UVB bulbs and feeding […]
[…]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 […]
