Climate Control and Environment

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011


Lizards that are native to temperate and subtropical climates usually can be kept under the same terrarium conditions. The naturally occurring excessive high and low temperatures and relative humidity can be eliminated within an indoor terrarium.

To prevent a lizard from going into a partial state of hibernation, which renders the reptile’s stomach unable to digest food properly, the night temperature probably should not drop any lower than 68 to 70 F (20-21 C).

The Fierce Alligator

Friday, January 14th, 2011


Its respiratory system is better. The nostrils are separated from the mouth by a hard palate. When the alligator swallows a struggling victim there is no danger that a desperate kick will penetrate the roof of its mouth and damage its brain. The alligator has well-developed lungs in comparison to the more primitive saclike structure of snakes. It has the most highly developed brain of any reptile, and is one of the few to have its teeth firmly set in its jaws.

On the other hand, the alligator lacks a well-developed Jacobson’s organ, which means that its ability to detect tastes and odors is not nearly so acute as a snake’s. It has the well-developed digestive system which works so efficiently for all reptiles, but lacks a bladder, although most turtles and lizards have one. Its ammoniac kidney wastes, along with intestinal wastes, pass through a chamber called the cloaca which opens to the outside of the body.

Claws

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010


Claws need to be trimmed regularly for the comfort of the owner as well as the reptile. This should be carried out on a regular basis and will require assistance. One person must hold the iguana firmly, while the other carries out the claw-trimming.

Clean the areas first, using a disinfectant designed for reptiles, then use sharp nail clippers to remove the end of the claw. Avoid cutting claws too short because you may cut into the blood vessels in the nail, which could lead to infection. Always ask advice from your pet store or veterinarian if in doubt.

Introducing Iguanas

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010


Up to two-thirds of an iguana’s length is taken up by the tail, which, interestingly, can be shed as a defensive mechanism if the iguana is attacked. This behavior is rarely seen in captivity, but care should be taken with young iguanas because they may react like this if grabbed by the tail. The tail, incidentally, does grow back, but will never be as attractive as the original.

The green or common iguana is a reptile and therefore is considered cold-blooded. The proper term for this is ectothermic, which means the animal derives its body heat from its surroundings, rather than producing heat internally as mammals do. This makes reptiles very efficient because they do not have to waste energy producing heat. Much of the food eaten by mammals goes into producing the energy.

Care of Iguanas

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010


Still another iguana killer is respiratory disease. Generally it is found in run-down specimens. Buy a healthy animal and take good care of it and avoid this problem. If you are the owner of a thin-tailed, grey, wet-eyed or sunken-eyed snuffler who doesn’t eat or distend his dewlap of otherwise show an enthusiasm for life, you might try several cures simultaneously:

  • Try a penicillin-type drug administered by your veterinarian
  • Provide sunlight, preferably direct and unfiltered by glass.
  • Coax food – try variety
  • Avoid handling and stressing the animal
  • Keep temperature up – say 82 F to 90 F. Both day and night during the treatment.
  • Keep cage dry and clean. Clean means antiseptically clean. Wash the cage with a carbolic acid preparation like Lysol and then thoroughly rinse and dry it to assure that no chemical remains before placing the animal back in his quarters.
  • Avoid wooden cages and cages with complicated construction where parasites and germs can hide and avoid detection and disinfection.

It should be noted that some iguana parasites pass through complicated life cycles and during one stage may leave a reptile and find a bird or mammal host, possibly even a human. The important thing to remember is that the parasites like chiggers, ticks and mites sometimes carry within their systems such diseases as “Q” fever. When a mite carrying “Q” fever infests an iguana becomes a stepping stone for the disease to be transmitted further.

The control is simple. Free your iguana from ticks, chiggers and mites. Keep the iguana isolated from other animals which might transfer new infestations. Keep the cage clean. Sterilize it if necessary. Keep the cage simple so that parasites do not have a place to hide while you are eliminating the individuals clinging to your pet. Once freed of parasites your new acquisition need never be infested again.

Origin of the Turtle’s Shell

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009


The origin of the turtle’s shell has not been convincingly explained to any length or depth.   A small reptile now named Eunotosaurus that lived approximately 250 million years ago in the “Permian” age has often been stated and referred to as  a probable turtle or turtle based ancestor.  It had ribs which were broadened in such a way that suggests it played the role of a rudimentary “shell”. But whatever  the beginnings of turtles may have been – then the shell itself is now the mark  of the turtle clan.

In spite of the millions of years of evolution that have seen turtles established nearly everywhere on the earth except for the air , with “flying turtles”.  the shell itself has been retained and is the most recognizable form and indeed trademark of this group and grouping of type of animals.
