AMPHIBIAN & REPTILE MANAGEMENT

General Considerations Habitat Food Regulation

Vivarium soil or peat water – think fish dechlorinate filter temperature shelter

FOOD infusoria – babies earthworms blood worms Drosophila crickets mice

CITES Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ~5000 animal species ~28,000 plant species

AMPHIBIANS smooth, moist, glandular skin most species absorb water through skin some species breath through skin must spend part of life in water world – 4780 species U. S. – 230 species

AMPHIBIANS frogs toads newts salamanders caecilians

FROGS spend most or all of life in water green frog Rana clamitans

FROGS green tree frog – Hyla cineria

TOADS develop in water spend later life on land American toad – Bufo americanus americanus

NEWTS spend life in water or marshy areas

red spotted newt – Eastern newt Notophthalmus viridescens – easy to keep

SALAMANDERS about 320 species 2 to 70 inches in length

fire salamander – easy to keep

axolotl - albino

axolotl - gold

tiger salamander “terrestrial” easy to keep

caecilians tropical live underground 1 inch to 1.5 meters
