Veiled Chameleon
|
This is a Veiled Chameleon. The
scientific name for this species is Chamaeleo Calptratus. These beautiful animals
come from the mountainous desert areas of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. It can be found on the
western slopes of a mountain range that begins in Yemen and ends in Saudi Arabia, and on
the southern slopes of mountains on the tip of Yemen, at the entrance of the Red Sea.
I own a male and female. They are caged together and are doing quite well. They were both bought at |
| A reptile show for $35 each. I recently saw them for sale at a local pet store for $100 each. My advice is to buy them at the show not only because they are cheaper but you get to meet and talk with the breaders. Never house 2 males in the same cage. These creatures are extremely territorial and aggressive towards their own kind. These guys grow quite large and need some large cages, its a good idea to have a indoor cage and a big outdoor encloser when they can live in the summer. A diet of well-fed vitamin-dusted crickets, mealworms, grasshoppers and waxworms will keep your veileds happy. I have seen my eating the leaves and flowers of the plants inside their cage so you must not house them with toxic plants. A good choice is a hibiscus plant or tree. This will give them plenty of climbing branches. A good link for more info and products is Radical Reptiles, they are very friendly and always willing to help... |
Bearded Dragon
| The Bearded Dragon is native to
inland areas of southeastern Australia. The scentific name is Pogona Vitticeps. These
guys make killer pets. They tend to be very tame and also seem to enjoy being handled,
though my little guy has bitten me before. Again, I bought my baby at a reptile show for
$15. If you buy from a pet store take a small ransom with you. And no breaders there to
talk with. Beardies need to keep warm and will often bask underneath a heat source such as
an incandescent bulb or spotlight, be sure to use a reflector, they are cheap at Homebase.
They also need a full-spectrum fluorescent high UV-B bulb such as Reptisun 5.0 by Zoomed.
If you can give them 30 minutes of direct sunlight every morning they will love it. Feed them crickets, mealworms, and pinkie mice as they get |
|
| bigger. I tried these dragon pellets from a pet store and found that my dragon didn't eat any of them. My dragon has also eaten lettuce. They should also be given clean water daily. If you get one you will love him. Have a large cage and an outdoor encloser for the summer is also a good idea. |
Spider Monkeys
|
Spider monkeys are found in the mature to tall rainforests of Central America. Their scentific name is Ateles goffroi. The coat of these monkeys varies in color from golden brown to dark brown. These guys are generally seen moving in groups of up to 20 monkeys. They are most active during the day and their diet consists of leaves and various fruits of the rain forest. What a sight it would be to be touring the rain forest and seiing a pack of these beautiful creatures going about their buisness. |
Jenday Conure
| Jenday Conures are beautiful forrest parrots. Their scentific name is Aratinga solstitialis jandaya. The Jenday is an energetic, outgoing and lovable bird. She whistles for attention and has learned to say "pretty bird". She loves to be bathed in the sink, I think its an instinct that they have of natural showers in the rain forests. These birds come from Brazil and are often found in the outer edges of the rain forest. The name of mine is Jendy, she does get noisy, if you want a quiet parrot the Conure may not be the way to go, she often squawks while we are watching tv. But once you give her attention she will get quiet. |
