The space that was ample for a small pet may cramp a full grown one, leading to health problems that can seriously shorten its lifespan. Understanding how large a critter can grow before purchasing a habitat is critical knowledge for a successful long-term outcome.

  • Care Guide Red Eyed Crocodile Skink
    Tribolonotus gracilis Care Red Eyed Guide Crocodile Skink Shy, prehistoric pets. A relatively small skink with a prehistoric appearance, the red-eyed crocodile skink is easy to care for for experienced reptile parents. While they are not incredibly active, their elusive nature and marvelous appearance are sure to inspire any reptile enthusiast fortunate enough to observe them. They do best in warm, humid, bioactive enclosures. If you are looking to add a little dinosaur to your latest terrarium build, give the red-eyed crocodile skink a try! Lifespan With proper care, these skinks have an average lifespan of 6-10+ years. Size Hatchlings measure 6-8 cm. Adults measure 6-10 inches, snout to tail. Juveniles have the same body type and skin as adults but differ in their eye and head coloration. The head of a juvenile will be cream colored and will lack the distinctive orange/red around their eyes. At around 6 months of age, the cream color will disappear, and they will develop the orange/red around their eyes. These skinks do not reach sexual maturity until 3-4 years of age, and as they mature, they develop an orange colored throat. The male is often larger than the female, but that is not always the best indicator of sex. Males have gray-blue raised pores on the underside of the third and fourth toes of their hind feet. Males also have a rectangular section of four to six enlarged belly scales at the umbilicus. Natural History There are eight known species in the genus Tribolonotus, which are all extant to Irian Jaya and Papua New Guinea in the Solomon Islands.

  • Presence and Absence of COX8 in Reptile Transcriptomes
    Presence and Absence of COX8 in Reptile Transcriptomes Emily K. West, Michael W. Vandewege, Federico G. Hoffmann Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology, and Plant Pathology Mississippi State University Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotic cells that are responsible for supplying chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Located in the mitochondria inner membrane, the electron transport chain (ETC) is series of proteins that shuttle electrons to synthesize ATP. The different components of the ETC are well conserved among eukaryotes in general and among vertebrates in particular. Previous studies have shown that COX8, a relatively small subunit of the ETC was important for optimal mitochondrial performance. Interestingly, several lizard species have apparently lost the gene encoding for this protein. The goal of this research was to assess the phylogenetic extent of the loss of COX8. To do so we looked for traces of the COX8 coding gene using bioinformatic protocols. These databases included publicly available genomes and transcriptomes, as well as several reptilian transcriptomes from our lab. Our results indicate that COX8 has apparently been lost multiple times during the evolution of amniotes, at least once among turtles, once among snakes, and once among lizards. All these losses have been recorded among ectotherm animals, suggesting the lower metabolic demands of these animals allow them to perform well in the absence of COX8. Introduction Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotic cells that are responsible for supplying energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during aerobic respiration. The electron transport chain (ETC) is series of proteins that shuttle electrons via redox reactions, generating a proton gradient across the internal membrane of the mitochondria, with oxygen as the final electron acceptor and ATP as ultimate product (Figure 1).

  • The Kiwi of All Skinks: an Unusual Egg Size in a Species of Madascincus (Squamata: Scincidae) from Eastern Madagascar
    Herpetology Notes, volume 14: 365-369 (2021) (published online on 14 February 2021) The kiwi of all skinks: an unusual egg size in a species of Madascincus (Squamata: Scincidae) from eastern Madagascar Xavier Porcel1, Nicolas Dubos2, Gonçalo M. Rosa3, Aurélien Miralles4, Jean Nöel5, Honoré Lava5, Jean Honoré Velo5, Georges5, Franco Andreone6, and Angelica Crottini1,* In the animal world, egg, hatchling, and neonate sizes gives birth to 16.6 small neonates per litter on average are positively correlated with adult body size, although (Racey and Stephenson, 1996) with a maximum litter- small species usually produce a smaller number of size of 32 neonates (Bluntschli, 1938; Louwman, 1973), offspring per clutch in comparison to their larger the greatest number among mammals. relatives (Meiri et al., 2015). Yet, natural selection has The negative offspring-size allometry (with smaller led some species to exhibit extreme traits in this regard. species producing relatively larger offspring and Kiwis (Apteryx spp.) are the smallest of the ratite birds, larger species producing smaller offspring) is quite but their eggs are among the largest in proportion to widespread in squamates, and species showing invariant body size among all birds. The ratio between egg and clutch sizes tend to have unusually steep offspring adult body mass is one order of magnitude larger than size allometries (Meiri et al., 2015). Squamates have in other ratites, and they generally lay only one egg evolved a variety of reproductive strategies, and a (maximum two) weighing about one quarter of the lot of attention has been given to the study of their female body mass (Calder, 1979; Migeon, 2014).

Range and Habitat: New Guinea (Irian Jaya and north Papua). Little information is found about their natural habitat, but specimens have been found in moist habitat, along waterways. Description: They have a prehistoric look, often described as “armored.” They have bony chevrons protruding from their backs, forming four lines which gradually diminish near the tip of the tail. The head is triangular with six bony points forming a casque at the rear of the head. A bright orange ring nearly surrounds each eye. Juveniles are dark brownish black with a cream belly, while adults are solid reddish brown with the orange eye rings. Some have orange on the neck as well. Adult Size: They are 2 ½ inches long at hatching and can reach 8-10 inches long as adults. Males are slightly larger than females. The average size is 7.2 inches. The tail comprises about half the body length. Voice: They seem to be the only lizards outside of geckos that can vocalize. They make a small squawking sound when distressed. It has also been described as a high-pitched barking sound.

Fitzgerald Committee Members, James R. Dixon Toby J. Hibbitts Ulrike Gretzel Head of Department, Thomas E. Lacher August 2009 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences iii ABSTRACT Amphibian and Reptile Trade in Texas: Current Status and Trends. (August 2009) Heather Lee Prestridge, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Lee A. Fitzgerald The non-game wildlife trade poses a risk to our natural landscape, natural heritage, economy, and security. Specifically, the trade in non-game reptiles and amphibians exploits native populations, and is likely not sustainable for many species. Exotic amphibian and reptile species pose risk of invasion and directly or indirectly alter the native landscape. The extent of non-game amphibian and reptile trade is not fully understood and is poorly documented. To quantitatively describe the trade in Texas, I solicited data from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Law Enforcement Management Information System (LEMIS) and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) non-game dealer permits.
