Holiday Herp DecorationsYour herp cages can be a beautiful holiday display to brighten any room. You can use your own artistic creativity to design cage decorations, or purchase attractive cage additions in craft stores. The only limits to your creative design are your pet's safety. Use safe, nontoxic and smooth-edged materials such as edible greenery, plaster casts, stone, untreated wood, plastic or clay. Nontoxic paints and dyes which are labelled for use by very young children are also excellent to use for inside cage decorations. Happy Hide BoxesDoes your pet reptile feel like he's living in a glass aquarium? Even if he is, this could be bad. Like most animals, reptiles need a place to hide to feel secure. You can purchase or even make your own inexpensive "hide box", a small enclosed container with a single entrance and exit that your pet can curl up in and feel secure. Your hide box can be as simple as a used plastic margarine tub with a hole cut into its side, or as complex as a professionally made "trap box" with a sliding door that can be shut and locked from the outside to confine feisty or venomous snakes while their cage is being cleaned. A snake or lizard that has a secure place to hide is more likely to be a calm and well adjusted pet. Amphibians need a lot of careBefore you get a frog, toad or other amphibian, keep in mind that they require more frequent cage cleaning than reptiles, and sharp attention to water quality and PH balance. Different species will vary in their requirements, but unless you have a good filtration system set up, expect to have to clean and scrub out a tank at least once or twice a week. You can take a hint from fish keepers and buy PH-checking equipment at your local aquarium store. A good general rule is that water that is safe to put delicate freshwater fish in is probably safe for your pet amphibian as well. Joining a Herpetological SocietyWhether you're brand-new to reptiles or a veteran keeper, herpetological clubs and societies have a lot to offer. You can share resources and trade tips (and sometimes reptiles) with other keepers, stay in touch with the reptile community and have a great social life, all at the same time. Visit some of the links below to find a club that is close to you. If there isn't one, consider starting your own. |
