Most species have glands in the skin that will release poisonous or irritant substances in times of danger. It is therefore advisable to wash your hands each time after handling salamanders, as these substances, if transferred to the eyes or mucous membranes, can cause severe pain, irritation, and inflammation.
As the winter approaches, in most parts of its range T. cristatus will prepare for its winter hibernation, a period that is important to prepare it for the forthcoming breeding season. The newts burrow, deeply into the earth, often using tree roots of the burrows of other animals, until they reach a depth that will remain frost-free throughout the winter. Before hibernating, it is important that the newts have built up their fat reserves by consuming large quantities of insects. (Species from temperate areas may be kept in captivity without hibernation by simply keeping them warm, but such specimens are less likely to breed in the spring and their life spans will be somewhat shortened.) In the spring, as soon as the rays of the sun begin to warm up the surface, the newts will wake up and make their way to the breeding ponds. Young T. cristatus do not normally breed until they are in their second season.

Usually with the smaller ones at the front and graduating to taller specimens at the rear and ends. Larger salamanders can be quite violent with their surroundings and will continually uproot weak plants, so only robust specimens should be used, these being allowed to establish strong root systems before any animals are introduced. Such aquaria are suitable for rearing the larvae of many species of salamanders and newts as well as for permanently keeping those forms that are totally aquatic.

At the time of this writing work is being done to determine if the two similar groups formerly known as Dibamidae and Anelytropsidae should be united. Because they are so similar, I have decided to incorporate them here but will provide descriptions which divide the two genera. Functional limbs absent. Tongue short, slightly nicked, and covered with papillae. Palate toothless. Arches absent. Pelvic and pectoral girdles greatly reduced. Eyes and ears concealed by skin. Teeth few, recurved, conical.
The genus Anelytropsis contains one species, A. papillosus. Interorbital septum and columella cranii well developed. Premaxillary bone single. Osteoderms present. No sign of external limbs. This lizard is fossorial and is found in east-central Mexico. It is a fleshy brown above and yellowish below. It has been caught only a very few times and remains known from a dozen specimens. Its diet is suspected to consist of ants and termites.
Dibamus is a genus of some six species distributed in the East Indies between India and New Guinea. The interorbital septum and columella cranii are absent. Premaxillary paired. Osteoderms absent. Males have vestigial traces of hindlimbs. They are usually an olive drab color. These lizards are very slender bodied, secretive, forest-dwelling fossorial animals. They lay hard-shelled eggs, sometimes in communal sites, and are insect eaters.

They range in size from 15 inches to as long as 2 1/2 feet (including tail) for the Egyptian Mastigure. With frequent human interaction these lizards will not struggle against handling. They almost never bite, but will try to inflict injury by whipping enemies with their powerful, spiked tails. In addition, mastigures practice tail autotomy as a defensive measure, so be careful not to intimidate them or handle them roughly lest you wind up with a less-than-perfect stub-tailed specimen.
More and more captive-born specimens are being offered; it’s always a good idea to purchase these rather than wild-caught specimens because their health tends to be much better.
Mastigures require a roomy cage, with a length at least three to four times the lizard’s length, a sandy substrate of 2 to 3 inches in depth (use white of color-fast sterile store-bought aquarium sand) and a number of rocks to add realism to the environment. Heat can be provided by keeping them in a warm spot in your house as well as by using a 100 watt heat bulb from above and an under-cage heating pad under a portion of the enclosure. Mastigures definitely like it hot and won’t eat or be active if temperatures drop too low which, in their case, is 85 degrees F or less. Temperatures up to 120 degrees F are easily tolerated by most species of this group since they come from some of the most torrid deserts in the world.
Natural, unfiltered sunlight is a plus, but if it’s not available, use a fluorescent tube capable of emitting UV-B light. If the sides of your enclosure are high enough, it is not necessary to cover or lid the top as these lizards are not great climbers or jumpers. This gives you the opportunity of opening a window during warm days and allowing the enclosure to be bathed in sunlight unfiltered by a glass or screen top.

Only one genus of teiid, Cnemidophorus, enters the United States. C.gularis is a common and widespread western species. While little is known of D.paraguyensis, D. guianensis may approach a length of four feet.The tegus of the forests, genus Tupinambis, grow in excess of a yard. These lizards have often earned notorious reputations in their haunts as being hen-house riders. Most teiids, however, are about a foot or less in length. A great many are but a few inches in length, giving them the nickname of “microteiids.”
Teiids are liable to turn up anywhere. Cnemidophorus is primarily a grasslands or desert creature, while Ameiva is an island-hopper of the Caribbean. Draceana is aquatic, while Bachia and Ophiognomen are semifossorial. At least one species is found in caves. This form, known from Trinidad, is a small enough beast but it may yet have a claim to fame based on a peculiar trait reported for it: it is said to be luminous. While many fishes are bioluminescent, no known terrestrial vertebrate is, except perchance Proctoporus shreivei. To my knowledge no one interested in this peculiar trait has used this particular species for experimental work, only the other similar members of the genus Proctoporus. If we can examine some live specimens of this animal, it may “illuminate” the whole matter once and for all!

Herpers record their animals’ origins to trace bloodlines. Worm lizards will eat fruits and grains.
Locality Defined
What is the special herp meaning of “locality” when used to describe snakes for sale?
The term “locality” refers to wild-caught herps (or their descendants) that were collected in specific, known places. This is important to many breeders and enthusiasts because of the individual genetic heritage and looks that tend to vary across animals’ ranges in nature. Breeders and hobbyists keep careful track of such data almost as a form of pedigree.
The species that best fits this category is the highly variable gray-banded kingsnake (Lampropeltis alterna). Since the 1970, aficionados have faithfully trekked to western Texas annually in hopes of capturing examples from locations with definable coordinates. The dedication to knowing and maintaining precise origin history is to keep bloodlines pure so captive-bred offspring represent variants that might have occurred naturally.
Some alterna buffs deem it important not to breed “mutts” because they think there’s enough of that going on with the dozens of other popular colubrids bred each season. They believe that their exhaustive efforts at obtaining their stock would be rendered a waste by indiscriminately mixing and matching colors and patterns just to see if anything unusual comes out. Hardcore gray band collectors still enjoy the hunt and regard random crossing of morphs as bastardizing their pursuits at relating various morphs to where they evolved.
More recently, certain GTP (green tree python) fans have adopted a similar loyalty to their animals’ origins as many distinct morphs are associated with specific islands. Although few of them have collected their own specimens and can be 100 percent sure of their origins, they honor importers’ claims backed by the established descriptions of specimens hailing from various locales. They also understand the value in not diluting island races both for preserving their distinguishing appearances and the sales values associated with them.

Very clear; I took it through dirty glass. How can he report the information without having to admit to having the animal? You may print the picture for no charge if you wish. If it gets printed, we’d both consider it a freebie for science.
Very interesting dilemma. Consider that the world has now been notified in writing of this potentially unique herpetocultural observation. I think I feel the earth shaking already about the revelation.
Seriously, it may take a while for this insight to trickle down to the people in science who study amphisbaenians, the lizard subgrouping to which they belong. When they do, they will be naturally skeptical and wish to verify your claims with independent research. Therein lies a problem. Of the 3600-plus specimens of Bipes collected by U.S. researchers during the 1970s, not one of them can contribute to testing your claim. That’s due to the fact that they all now reside in formallin-filled museum jars.
I checked every literature source I could tap and found only references to worm lizards’ carnivorous depredations. As you stated, they’re seemingly only known to eat live arthropods hunted in their networks of subterranean tunnels. Nothing even hints at any vegetative aspects to their diets. I’d say it’s entirely possible your friend stumbled onto something not previously known by science.
Mexican worm lizards (aka ajolotes) are apparently not rare in their native haunts. The type your pal has inhabits the lower half of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Two very similar species live on the west coast of mainland Mexico. Lee Grismer sums it up nicely in his masterpiece Amphibians and Reptiles of Baja California (2002). In it he describes Bipes (the genus containing all three species) as “probably the most numerous lizards in the areas where they are found, but because of their fossorial lifestyle they are seldom seen.”

The iguana drinks water often , usually two or more times a day. Low humidity in the iguana’s surroundings will most likely if not probably make itself more than evident by the lizard’s increase intake and use of water. Spraying water on the leaves of plants in the iguana’s terrarium as a means of attempting to furnish a greater as well as adequate supply of water will fall more than far short of the intended goal of giving the animal a sufficient amount of water and moisture . Thus the iguana should always be provided with a water bowl that should be thoroughly cleaned and refilled on daily on a regular as well as ongoing basis. This habitat might well include additional containers of water in which the iguana can leisurely soak its entire body and tail section. If the size of the environment permits it, the iguana might be permitted a body of water in which it can swim. A hatching iguana which measures close to 8 inches ( that is 20 cm) can usually be expected to grow 1 to 1 1/2 inches per year (2.5 – 3.8 cm) for the very first year or two. After the second year the rates of growth decline to an average of 1 inch (2.5 cm) each month. A fully grown iguana might might reach a max length of around 6 1/2 feet ( approx 203 cm) although in the ranges of 5 feet ( 152 centimeters) is probably more typical of the sizes attained by many if not most specimens during a lifespan that plausibly ranges from to 25 years.

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.

BRACHYLOPHUS FASCIATUS – A “typical” but not “true” iguana. The Fiji Island iguana, handsome, rare, three feet, vegetarian.
CTENOSAURA HEMILOPHA – Common spiny-tail iguana. Central Mexico to U.S. border. Three feet. Grey black with a short spiny tail. Spends more time on the ground than the common green iguana and requires more animal food. Robust and dangerous. This species was formerly called Ctenosaura conspicuosa, the banded spiny-tail iguana.
CTENOSAURA ACANTHURA – Black iguana. Mexico and Central America. Can run on two feet. More terrestrial than arboreal. Young specimens are uniformly bright emerald green. This is a spiny-tailed iguana and may in fact by the very same species as Ctenosaura hemilopha.
CTENOSAURA MULTISPINIS – Black spiny-tail iguana. Mexico. Probably the very same as C. acanthura but described by another scholar.
ENYALIOSAURUS -Two species from Mexico. Uncommon in the per trade.
