[…]ponds in southern Westchester County, NY, where, if the weather and amphibian gods favor us, spotted salamanders, wood frogs and spring peepers can be observed breeding on the same night.

[…]in length, it is still quite diminutive. Clad in a spectacular array of contrasting colors, with orange, black, yellow and green appearing to varying degrees on different individuals, it is well-named!

[…]that require mere seconds to maintain, such as the Tetra Whisper In-Tank Filter. Current Spotted, Bog and other turtles adapted to slow-moving water bodies cannot abide strong currents in their aquarium; the same is true for hatchlings of nearly all species. An overly-powerful filter outflow can even be a […]
[…]Function and Sources Various plant pigments known as carotenoids are responsible for the yellow-orange color of egg yolks and skin among a huge array of animals.

[…]longevity for a Rosy Boa is 29+ years (living at time of publication), and many captives approach and exceed age 20.

[…]in color, but some exhibit yellow or green hues, while others are nearly black. Rows of yellow to orange “warts” (poison glands) line the upper edge of the body. Amazingly, distressed individuals will contract their bodies and force the ribs right through the back’s skin, directly over these glands. The […]

It is known only from Panama’s Rio Belan Basin, where it seems limited to elevated sand ridges within rainforests. This […]

But the Lightening Roach, known from only a single specimen collected in Guatemala, has developed this ability to a remarkable degree.

In both my pens and natural situations, I was several times surprised to […]
