"Midnight"
Argentine Black and White Tegu

The Argentine Black and White Tegu is the largest species of the Tegu
family. Its life span is about fifteen to twenty years. This terrestrial species inhabits the tropical rain forests of East and Central South America. Individuals of this species like dense foliage and forage for food, of which they consume as much as possible before going into hibernation in autumn. They also exhibit an unusually high level of intelligence among reptiles, along with a high level of physical activity during the wakeful period of the year.The Argentine tegu reaches lengths of 4 to 5.5 feet at maturity. Males are much larger and heavier than females, and develop jowls as they mature. This tegu is primarily a carnivore. Young animals are entirely carnivorous, but will accept, and must be given, fresh fruit and vegetables as they mature. Their diet should mainly consist of appropriate sized insects, raw meat such as chicken or turkey, and cooked eggs. Whole rodents are also a good source of nutrients, but should be given somewhat sparingly, as they are high in fat; tegus are prone to obesity and will happily over-eat if allowed.

    Bearded Dragon

Bearded Dragons are native to Australia. They are popular exotic pets in many places. The most popular being the Inland or Central Bearded Dragon. These pets are also affectionately called "Beardies" by those who breed or raise them. They are a popular breed among children, because of their friendly and calm nature. Bearded Dragons have broad triangular heads and flattened bodies, with adults reaching approximately 18 to 24 inches head-to-tail. They were first discovered by Philip Martinez in 1854. When threatened, they will expand a spiny pouch under their jaw and turn it black, as well as inhale air and puff up to make them appear larger. The pouch resembles a beard, lending the animal their name.Bearded Dragons are omnivorous, requiring both insects and vegetable food. A typical diet for captive Bearded Dragons includes leafy greens and vegetables, and regular meals of feeder insects. Popular feeder insects include crickets, roaches, locusts, silkworms,hornworms, butterworms, and phoenix worms.





"Sky"
Blue-Tongue Skink

Blue-tongued skinks are some of the largest members of the skink family.
They are called commonly blue-tongued lizards in Australia, where true lizards do not naturally occur. As suggested by these common names, its  distinguishing characteristic is a blue tongue. Like their close relatives of the geinus Cyclodomorphus. A distinct species occurs in the island of New Guinea and various islands of Indonesia. This species is often found on several small Indonesian islands between Australia and New Guinea. Most species, with the exception of the pygmy blue-tongue, are relatively large (up to 371 mm total length), light-bodied, short-limbed, broad with a distinct head, and dull teeth. The eastern blue tongue can have up to 12 babies and grows up to 60 cm.







"Max"
Panther Chameleon

Male Panther Chameleons can grow up to 20 inches (50 cm) in length, with a typical length of around 17 inches (45 cm). Females are generally much smaller, about half the size. Male Panther Chameleons are also much more vibrantly colored than the females. Coloration varies with location. Panther Chameleons from the areas of Nosey Be and Ambanja are typically a vibrant blue, while those from Diego Suarez and Sambava are red, green or orange. The areas of Maroantsetra and Tamatave yield primarily red specimens. There are numerous other color phases, and patterns differ between and within regions. Female Panther Chameleons generally remain tan and brown no matter what region they are from, but there are slight differences in patterns and colors among the different color phases. Panther Chameleons can live up to 10 years in captivity. Females, if bred often, usually only live 2-3 years after laying eggs (between 5 and 8 clutches) because of the stress put on their bodies. Females can lay between 10 and 40 eggs per clutch, depending on the food and nutrient consumption during the period of development. Eggs can take       between 5 and 14 months to hatch.

"Speedy"
Sulcata Tortoise

 The Sulcata Tortoise, also called the African Spurred Tortoise, is a species of tortoise which inhabits the southern edge of the Sahara desert, in northern Africa. Their diet provides them with most of their water requirements, but they do drink. They coat their skin with mud when available to cool off. When mud wallows are not available, they retreat to cooler burrows. Spurred tortoises are important to deserts because their burrows provide shelter for other animals. They do not hibernate, unlike many other types of tortoises, due to their natural environment being so close to the equator, and therefore temperate throughout the year. They love to dig, and make very long burrows, often much damper than the ground surface, which other species frequently sublet, making dens in alcoves off the main burrow. these animals provide significant challenges to their keepers, due to their dietary and temperature requirements, and their size. For one thing they make quite effective battering rams at 100 lb or more. They are very powerful and very persistent if they think you have something tasty in your house or on the other side of the fence. Red leaf lettuce, cucumbers, hay and dandelions are some of the better foods to make up the bulk of their diet. They will eat such things as caterpillars and snails if given the opportunity, but this also should be a very small portion of their diet.



"Baby"
Ball Python 

The Ball Python is a non-venomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade. Adults generally do not grow to more than 3-4 feet in length, some specimens have even even reached 5-6 feet, but this is very rare. The build is stocky while the head is relatively small. The color pattern is typically black with light brown-green side and dorsal blotches. The belly is a white or cream that may or may not include scattered black markings. The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened.In the wild, the diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as African soft-furred rats, shrews and striped mice. Younger individuals have also been known to feed on birds. Captives usually do well on domestic rats and mice, either live, pre-killed, or frozen-thawed.







"Bolivar"
Columbian Red Tail Boa

The red-tailed boa, is a species of boa that can grow up to 13 feet long.
All boa species are constrictors, in that they kill their prey by constriction. Depending on their geographic origin and gender (females are usually somewhat larger), they can reach from 3.25 to 13 feet as adults. The largest boa constrictor in captivity is a 15 foot long female from Suriname that resides at the San Diego Zoo. Boa constrictors have a pattern of brown, reddish-brown to black "saddles" or dorsal blobs of color on a lighter background which can range through white, golden, grey or brownish, pink. Specimens from most localities have more or less prominent dark red, reddish brown or brown markings on the tail. Their preferred habitat is in rain forests and open savannas. Female boas produce live offspring instead of laying eggs. The boa constrictor's diet ranges from small rodents and lizards to large birds, marmosets, coatimundi, iguana and opossums.





"Ash"
Hypo Columbian Red Tail Boa

The red-tailed boa, is a species of boa that can grow up to 13 feet long. All boa species are constrictors, in that they kill their prey by constriction. Depending on their geographic origin and gender (females are usually somewhat larger), they can reach from 3.25 to 13 feet as adults. The largest boa constrictor in captivity is a 15 foot long female from Suriname that resides at the San Diego Zoo. Hypo Boa constrictors have a pattern of brown, reddish-brown "saddles" or dorsal blobs of color on a lighter background which can range through white, golden, grey or brownish, pink. Specimens from most localities have more or less prominent dark red, reddish brown or brown markings on the tail. Their preferred habitat is in rain forests and open savannas.Female boas produce live offspring instead of laying eggs. The boa constrictor's diet ranges from small rodents and lizards to large birds, marmosets, coatimundi, iguana and opossums. The word "Hypo" means the reduction of dark pigmentation. The blacks and browns have been greatly reduced in this animal making his colors appear more orange and red.






 "Poncho"
Albino Burmese Python

  The Burmese Python is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the 6 biggest snakes in the world, native to rain forest areas of Southeast Asia. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. The Burmese python is one of the largest of all snakes, growing up to 23 feet and weighing up to 200 pounds. It continues to grow throughout life and the great length is due to the presence of a  large number of vertebrae. Females are typically larger than males. The Burmese Python is found throughout Southeast Asia including Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and Indonesia. This python is an excellent swimmer and needs a permanent source of water. It can be found in grasslands, marshes, swamps, rocky foothills, woodlands, river valleys, and jungles with open clearings. They are good climbers and have prehensile tails. Albino means pale or colorless skin therefore he is all yellow and white.

"Wiggles"
Albino Corn Snake

The Corn Snake is a North American species of rat snake, sometimes called a Red Rat snake. The name "corn snake" comes from the fact that it is often found in fields of corn, usually in order to prey upon rodents. Corn Snakes are found throughout the south-eastern and central United States. Their docile nature, reluctance to bite, moderate adult size 4–6 ft, attractive pattern, and comparatively simple care make them excellent and popular pet snakes. In captivity, they can live up to 15-25 years. Like all rat snakes, corn snakes are non-venomous. Corn Snakes have a diet primarily consisting of rodents, mostly mice and rats which they kill via constriction, but they are proficient climbers and may scale trees in search of birds and bats. As litters of infant mice are difficult to find in nature, many neonate Corn Snakes are known to eat small lizards as their first meals, and anoles are the preferred choice.
