Family Pet Corner Collections

Physical Appearance: Full-grown green iguanas are usually between four and six feet, although they have been known to grow up to seven feet long. This includes the tail, however, which can make up about half the body length and, in addition to its green color, has black stripes. Green iguanas, not surprisingly, are green in color, but can be found in many different shade ranging from bright green, to a dull, grayish-green. Their skin is rough, with a set of pointy scales along the iguana's back. Green iguanas have long fingers and claws to help them climb and grasp.

Besides the long fingers and claws mentioned above, green iguanas have many excellent interesting adaptations. Green iguanas have good senses of hearing and smell, and superb vision. Their long tail is also quite sharp, and is snapped in the air as a defense mechanism. The tail can also break off if caught by a predator, but grows back without permanant damage. Green iguana skin is very water resistant, and tough to avoid cuts and scratches.

The coloring of the skin helps camoulflage the green iguana, which means that they blend in easily to their surroundings to remain undetected by predators. If they are etected however, and need to escape quickly, these iguanas can dive from trees into water, and swim well. Green iguanas are quite sturdy-- they can fall 40-50 feet to the ground without getting hurt! Male green iguanas have a special flap of skin called the dewlap. Male iguanas can raise their dewlap to appear bigger than they really are, either to intimidate predators, or to impressive females. Both male and female green iguanas can store fat under their jaws and in their necks for times when there is not much food available.

Roborovski for Sales

1 for $20

Roborovski's (Phodopus roborovskii) are the smallest and fastest of all hamsters commonly kept as pets. Distinguishing characteristics of the Roborovskis are the white spots where the eyebrows would be, and the lack of the dorsal stripe seen in all other dwarf hamsters. They live, on average, to three and a half years of age - the longest of any domestic hamster. Recently, a mutation has arisen producing a "husky", also known as "white-faced", phase. Breeding these lines with agouti Roborovskis produces a diluted appearance of their natural sandy colour.

Hamsters are rodents belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. The subfamily contains about 18 species, classified in six or seven genera.

Behavior can vary depending on their environment, genetics, and interaction with people. Because they are easy to breed in captivity, hamsters are often used as lab animals in more economically developed countries. Recently hamsters have also become established as popular small family pets.

Hamsters are crepuscular. In the wild, they burrow underground in the daylight to avoid being caught by predators. They are most active around dusk and dawn, which has led many people to mistake them for being nocturnal. Their diet contains a variety of foods, including dried food, berries, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. In the wild they will eat any wheat, nuts and small bits of fruit and vegetables that they might find lying around on the ground, and will occasionally eat small insects such as small crickets or mealworms. They have elongated fur-lined pouches on both sides of their heads which extend to their shoulders, which they stuff full of food to be brought back to the colony or to be eaten later.

The term "pit viper" refers to heat-sensing "pits" which occur on each cheek - these are used to locate prey. As with other pit vipers, this species has haemotoxic venom, meaning it is poisonous to the blood system.

The species can be identified by the triangular head. Juveniles are mainly light green with narrow pale bands, and adults are dark green with thicker yellowish bands.

Wagler's Pit Viper ranges from Southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore to Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi and the more southerly islands of the Philippines.

Family Pet Corner Collections

Tarantula is the common name for a group of hairy and often very large spiders belonging to the family Theraphosidae, of which approximately 900 species have been identified. Tarantulas hunt prey in both trees and on the ground. All tarantulas can emit silk, whether they be arboreal or terrestrial species.

Arboreal species will typically reside in a silken "tube web", and terrestrial species will line their burrows or lairs with web to catch wandering prey. They mainly eat insects and other arthropods, using ambush as their primary method. The biggest tarantulas can kill animals as large as lizards, mice, or birds. Most tarantulas are harmless to humans, and some species are popular in the exotic pet trade while others are eaten as food. These spiders are found in tropical and desert regions around the world.

Gerbil for sale

$25 for 1

The gerbil is a small, burrowing rodent that is native to dry, sandy areas of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Many people keep gerbils as household pets. These desert mammals are nocturnal (most active at night); they spend the day resting in their burrows. Gerbils can hop, using their long tail as a balance. They have a life span of about 4 years in the wild. Gerbils often live together in large colonies.

Anatomy: Gerbils range in size from 3 to 7 inches (8 to 18 cm) long, plus a long tail that is 3 to 9 inches (8 to 23 cm) long. These tiny rodents weigh up to 7 ounces (200 grams). The coat color ranges from white to gray to light brown (which is good camouflage in their sandy habitat). Gerbils have keen hearing. Like all rodents, the gerbil's front top teeth continue to grow throughout its life. It must gnaw on hard things to keep wearing the teeth down.

Food and Water: Gerbils eat grains, seeds, grasses, fruit, roots, flowers, and small animals like worms and insects. They do not need much water to drink; they get most of the water they need from their food. They often bring food back to their burrow to eat later.

Sinaloan Milk Snake @ Lampropeltis Triangulum Sinaloae

2008-09-19T21:39:00.005+08:00

Milk snakes are the smaller and more colorful members of the Kingsnake group. There are 25 recognized subspecies, all technically starting with the Latin name Lampropeltis triangulum. They are widely available from snake breeders and good pet stores. Most species are also small and easy to rear and breed.

Sinaloans can grow up to 1 m (39 in), but they are usually much smaller - on average 70-80 cm (27.5 - 31.5 in). They can be a bit jerky in their movements when handled initially, but they tame relatively easily and over time become easy to handle. They may bite, but since they have a tiny mouth, a nip will do little harm.

If disturbed or nervous, a Ball Python curls up into a ball with its head buried under its coils. This behaviour is rarely seen in captivity as they adapt readily and happily to life as a pet

Kingsnakes are an American species and are native to the region from the Canada in the north to Ecuador in South America. They live in a range of habitats, from pine forests to deserts, dry riverbeds to mountain slopes. They may also be found in suburbs of cities, school playgrounds, garbage dumps, and in parks and gardens.

In the wild, Kingsnakes are aggresive predators eating a range of prey - lizards, birds, rodents and other snakes. They are called Kingsnakes because they will actively catch, kill and eat other snakes, even highly venomous ones. For this reasons this "King of Snakes" is tolerated in backyards and gardens in areas where dangerous snakes may be found. These medium sized snakes grow to a length of about 120cm (48 in) and live approximately 10-15 years in captivity
