Housing for Salamanders

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012


By far the best type of tank available for general purposes is the all-glass tank. This consists of a number of sheets of glass of appropriate sizes cemented together along their edges with a remarkable versatile substance called silicone rubber sealing compound (silicone cement). This type of putty has various commercial uses, but brands suitable for aquarium construction are usually available at pet shops. All-glass aquaria are available in a wide array of sizes and designs at any pet shop, and it is usually cheaper to buy an all-glass tank than to try to make one yourself.

Great care should be taken in properly placing and aquarium for aquatic salamanders, remembering that a tank of water is extremely weighty. A sturdy base should be chosen and put in a quiet location away from a window  and near an electrical outlet. Once in its permanent position, the tank should be thoroughly cleaned (without soaps) then filled with water and tested for leaks, which can be repaired with silicone cement.

Most of the smaller aquatic salamanders will appreciate a natural looking environment with plants, rocks and other decorative materials. Good tips on setting up a planted aquarium can be obtained from books about keeping tropical or cold-water fishes. Here it will suffice to say that a layer of washed aquarium gravel about 5 cm (2 in) deep at the front of the tank, rising to about 7.5 cm (3 in) at the rear, should be placed in the aquarium.

Horned Toads (Phrynosoma sp.)

Saturday, March 12th, 2011


More accurately called horned lizards, there are fourteen species, which range all the way from British Columbia (Canada), throughout the western third of the U.S. to Central America. Some populations are protected as endangered species. They are diurnal.

You must provide a habitat that is dry, ranging from forest to scrub to desert. Horned toads remain small, reaching a maximum of 4 to 5 inches including tail. Feeding them can be a problem because they eat mainly ants, which most pet shops do not carry.

Growing Troubles with Man

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010


Turtles, anole chameleons and baby alligators were almost the only reptiles to be found for sale in American pet stores. Today, in many cities you can choose from a varied line of lizards, snakes and turtles in the pet shops, and this commerce has suddenly become one of the principal ways in which man is exploiting reptiles to his material gain. By far the most popular reptilian pets are baby turtles, which are hatched for the trade by millions in Mississippi Valley hatcheries. The sale of baby alligators is now prohibited, but importation of tropical caimans is filling the gap. Snakes and lizards, because they are partial to live food, are a little less easy to keep than turtles, but for a determined culturist this is no real problem. People are keeping snakes and lizards all about the land, and are no doubt better people for it.

It is perhaps idle but nonetheless engaging to speculate about the origins of the odd spiritual ties between reptiles and man. The new vogue for reptile pets, like the little boys’ old interest in them, is part bravado – a swelling pride in shedding a fear. Therefore, the origin of the conquered fear is the thing that seems worth psychological attention. Some of it is traditional, learned or affected. Part of it, however, may be innate. For a long time it has been the habit of sages to deride the popular belief that the dread of snakes is instinctive. They point out that a baby does not recoil at a proffered snake; he accepts and chews on it joyously. But this means nothing. The same baby will not whistle when a pretty girl passes. The anthropoid animal has had long evolutionary communion with serpents. There is growing evidence that a main center of human evolution was in a part of Africa where cobras, mambas and pythons are common today and have likely been for a long time. It is unthinkable that with such a background we should have failed to acquire any inherent snake-avoidance adaptations. It is even less likely that we should have wholly lost them.

That is to say, I am pretty sure a little of the fear of snakes is instinctive. The greater part of it no doubt comes from the harrowing way Grandma took on over the whiteoak snake in the privy – from being marked by hearing the tale in the third and fourth generation. But to say without proof that any ape has got over all its hereditary readiness for the snake crisis makes little sense. Your dog goes around and around before lying down in the long-dead grass of your living-room rug – and your mind goes around at the sudden sight of a snake.
