3 Ways to Heat a Reptile Vivarium

As reptiles are cold-blooded, they rely on their environment to keep them warm. This means they need an outside heat source to warm themselves, which is why keeping their vivarium heated is vital. The type of heating used will depend largely on the type of reptile as it is important to try and replicate the native environment.

Hot rocks

These rock-shaped heaters are ideal for ground-dwelling lizards in particular, such as bearded dragons, as they allow the reptile to lounge on the rocks and absorb the artificial heat. Just as they would in their natural environment, soaking up the warmth from the sun, heat rocks mimic this to warm the vivarium. To ensure the reptiles don't burn themselves, however, a thermostat should always be used to regulate the temperature of the hot rocks.

Heat mats

Thin mats are a great way of adding extra heat to a reptile vivarium, and should be used on cold winter nights or when additional warmth is needed. The heat mats are placed underneath a section of the vivarium and complement the main source of heat. By placing only in one part of the vivarium, the reptile can move to a cooler area when needed. There are different types of heat mats available, including ones designed to mimic warm sand beds of the desert.

Light bulbs

Lights bulbs come in different shapes and sizes to suit the vivarium and are designed to emit heat but not disturb the reptile's sleeping patterns. Different bulbs are available including blue ones that imitate moonlight and give off just a small amount of heat, and ones designed for desert-dwelling reptiles which have a higher UVB output. Both a thermostat and barrier are needed to keep the heat constant and ensure the reptile can't come into contact with the bulb.

Aquapet supply a full range of glass reptile vivariums with metal mesh removable tops and front sliding glass doors to match all budgets and requirements.

Reptile Shows Are A Must

We visited our first reptile show on Sunday (26th September 2010) - The International Herpetological Society Show at The Dome in Doncaster UK.

With excitement, we set off on Saturday night for an overnight stay in High Melton, near Doncaster. Arriving at nearly 1am it had been a long day. We were up early on Sunday morning and raring to go, we were about to go to a hall full of reptiles and other critters for sale. It was very exciting.

We arrived, later than we wanted to be, and the queue although circular was massive. We waited patiently for just over half an hour, and we were finally in! For the first minute or so, we stood there open mouthed, agog at the tables set out in front of us, full of reptiles looking for new homes.

Once we got our tongues back in our mouths, we started moving around the tables - there were snakes, lizards, invertebrates and equipment, all at good prices! We were smiling, excited as we saw what was available to us. Everywhere we turned there were critters that took our eye! Way too many bearded dragons and leopard geckos for our liking, and corn snakes galore. Such a shame - we could not afford to buy them all and were looking for something different to offer Critterish Allsorts customers.

As we walked around, we noticed that there was an exotic mammals section upstairs. OMG! We ventured upstairs. A tiny room lined with tables full of tiny furry critters, the most memorable being lemmings and pygmy hedgehogs - especially the cinnacot one, but with a price tag of 125 it was way out of our price range.

Back inside the hall, we were astonished at some of the animals we saw. A breeding pair of albino gopher snakes, which were stunning, some amazing insects but most noticeably a file snake - an incredible animal with very rough scales and an almost triangular shape. I held it briefly and it was amazing, i fell in love. They are incredibly hard to find, and this one was not for sale, but I put my name down to be notified when they do become available.

There were python morphs available at prices upwards of 1500! We had been round the room twice, when I said to my wife "We need to start buying stuff now or we will start missing out". We came across a table full of milk snakes and kingsnakes (babies) - this was where we chose our first purchase - Queenie, our Chihuahua Mountain Kingsnake. Smiling and revelling in her beauty. We continued around the hall, looking at the tables, considering our options. We looked at and handled many critters, eventually coming to a table laden with all sorts of critters - baby geckos, baby snakes, tortoises, amphibians. My wife noticed a baby corn snake - although we had said no more corn snakes (we already had 2), this one was labelled as "reject" and priced as a give away, pet only. She was beautiful, but had a slight genetic defect - a kinked spine, not for breeding. Well we took one look at Ivy out of her box and could not resist - we would give her a loving home. On the same table i spotted the axolotls - I have wanted one since seeing one at Chester Zoo as a child on a school trip! I bought them both!

So we now had 4 new animals. I had spotted the giant prickly stick insects previously. There were also milk snakes available at this table and we really fancied a milk snake - trouble is the babies are very fast and skittish and could not be taken out. Well we stopped and had another look at the stick insects. They were interesting, and big not to mention only a third of the size they would grow to be! They were so cheaply priced that it was not worth saying no!! An interesting addition to our menagerie!

We continued, and this was when we happened upon what was to become our tangerine Honduran milk snake. A gorgeous orange and black banded reptile with an amazing temperament. He was too highly priced for us, and my wife thought a crested gecko would suit us better. The guy would not move on his price and so we broke for a drink and some lunch. We sat with our friends Gary and Lisa from Gr8 Reps. We compared purchases and congratulated each other on new critters. Then about an hour later we returned to the hall and prices were starting to plummet.

We kept returning to the table with the milk snake, and he kept saying come back later and we'll see what we can do. We went back 3 or 4 times, unable to decide what to do with our last bit of cash! Eventually, we managed to get the milk snake at such a knock down price that we were able to get a crested gecko too - and despite the fact that no body would move on crested gecko prices, we managed to get that one at an absolute steal too:)

If you do go to one of these shows have a budget and do your research. You need to know what you want but you also need to know how to care for, house and feed the critter you are wanting. Can you give it everything it needs? If you cannot provide an animal with everything it needs to live a healthy and comfortable life, then please DO NOT buy it - only buy if you can give, bear in mind that these animals will live for 10-20 years after you have purchased them. They need your love, your commitment, your attention, your care, your money and necessary vet care in their times of need.

Our journey home was full of smiles and excited conversation about our new critters - and we named each and every one!! It was a great fun adventure that I am sure we will repeat in the future!!

The Reptile Room: Or, Murder! (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 2)

The Reptile Room: Or, Murder! (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 2)

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.

In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.

In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.

Ages 10+

Understanding Reptile Parasites (Advanced Vivarium Systems)

Understanding Reptile Parasites (Advanced Vivarium Systems)This comprehensive key for identifying specimens of amphibians and reptiles in the U.S. and Canada--the first since 1983--incorporates the wealth of scientific findings generated by molecular systematics (the study of DNA to determine genetic relationships) and simplifies identification by making geographic origin a leading factor. A dichotomous key (that is, one that gives the user only two choices at each level of morphological scrutiny), it is designed for use in college-level herpetology or vertebrate biology courses. It will be especially useful as an effective tool for teaching the principles of taxonomy and for introducing students to the systematics of amphibians and reptiles. While it can serve to identify specimens in the field, it is intended primarily as a teaching tool for classifying preserved specimens whose geographic origins are known.

The dichotomous keys are supplemented by 257 line illustrations depicting the distinguishing morphological characteristics of salamanders, frogs and toads, turtles, alligators and crocodilians, amphisbaenians (wormlike lizards), lizards, and snakes. The drawings, along with frequent references to the species descriptions, maps, and photographs in the Peterson Field Guide Series, make the key user friendly and increase its appeal to undergraduate and amateur herpetologists.

Timothy, or Notes of an Abject Reptile

Timothy, or Notes of an Abject ReptileFew writers have attempted to explore the natural history of a particular animal by adopting the animal’s own sensibility. But Verlyn Klinkenborg has done just that in Timothy: an insightful and utterly engaging story of the world’s most famous tortoise, whose real life was observed by the eighteenth-century English curate and naturalist Gilbert White. For thirteen years, Timothy lived in White’s garden. Here Klinkenborg gives the tortoise an unforgettable voice and keen powers of observation on both human and natural affairs. Wry and wise, unexpectedly moving and enchanting at every–careful–turn, Timothy surprises and delights.

Loco for Lizards by Jim Cherry, James Cherry

      This is a real find. Even if they have zero interest in reptiles, anyone who has curiosity and a sense of humor would enjoy this little book. The writing style is a combination of Dennis Miller's sarcasm, Bill Nye the Science Guy's mix of facts and fun, Monty Python's surrealism, and a pinch of David Sedaris's self-deprecation. A great airplane or lazy day read. Makes a great stocking stuffer gift for the readers on my list. Most amazing is this book's artful blend of solid information, interestingly presented and wacky fun. Great colorful graphics, too, including paintings by Hieronymous Bosch, Ed Mell, Maynard Dixon and others. Godzilla makes a couple appearances, as well.

Lizard Social Behavior by Stanley F. Fox

     This is an original, substantial, and long-needed contribution. The introduction places the subject in context and shows how lizards can provide unique information not readily available through study of other organisms. The book is logically organized, beginning with a focus on individual variation, moving to comparisons between populations, and finishing with species comparisons. Readers with a general interest in social behavior will be drawn to peruse other sections where they will find an abundance of additional interesting and informative material.
