corynactis is a genus of colonial anthozoans similar in appearance to sea anemones and in body format to scleractinian stony corals .

these animals are cnidarians in the family corallimorphidae .

corynactis

species corynactis mediterranea sars m . , 1857 accepted as corynactis viridis allman , 1846
the corynactis genus are disease resistant , and only affected by improper husbandry . warmer water than suggested will eventually kill any corynactis from temperate waters .

the corynactis genus will only get along with their own species , and will not even tolerate mushroom species outside their colony . even in one genus , if the color is different , again a different species , the weaker mushroom will detach and find another location . strong water movement will also cause them to detach as well . slow moving fish and shrimp run a risk of being consumed by the corynactis genus .

corynactus californica are found in abundance on temperate rocky shores and on tropical coral reefs . they can be found anywhere from the lower intertidal zone to at least 50 meters in depth .
reproduce asexually by fission and budding . aggregations of different colors produce polyps of the same color ; color of the species appears to be controlled genetically .
corynactus californicus can be found forming clonal aggregates , which cover large areas of hard substrate . they can be found on rock reefs , where they attain densities of up to 3000 polyps per square meter . they have an aggressive nature and may extrude their mesenterial filaments onto other anthozoans , such as corals and sea anemones . this contact with
corynactus californica extrudes mesenterial filaments onto its prey , which includes brine shrimp , other sessile organisms living within its community , and pieces of dead fish . the mesenterial filaments are used for digestion and absorption of food in the coelenteron . if the prey is too large to take into the coelenteron , the mesenterial filaments are used to digest it externally .
increase the density of rock oysters and mussels by protecting them from predatory sea stars .
competition from this species may reduce the diversity of the marine communities in which they dwell .
body of water between the southern ocean ( above 60 degrees south latitude ) , australia , asia , and the western hemisphere . this is the world ' s largest ocean , covering about 28 % of the world ' s surface .
the area in which the animal is naturally found , the region in which it is endemic .
a form of body symmetry in which the parts of an animal are arranged concentrically around a central oral / aboral axis and more than one imaginary plane through this axis results in halves that are mirror - images of each other . examples are cnidarians ( phylum cnidaria , jellyfish , anemones , and corals ) .
structure produced by the calcium carbonate skeletons of coral polyps ( class anthozoa ) . coral reefs are found in warm , shallow oceans with low nutrient availability . they form the basis for rich communities of other invertebrates , plants , fish , and protists . the polyps live only on the reef surface . because they depend on symbiotic photosynthetic algae , zooxanthellae , they cannot live where light does not penetrate .

the jewel anemone reproduces by splitting in half , using a process called ‘longitudinal fission’ .
this anemone is often found in very large aggregations in suitable habitats , particularly on vertical surfaces ( 2 ) . it reproduces asexually by means of ‘longitudinal fission’ , in which means that individuals spilt in half . sometimes this fission is not complete and two anemones may remain partially attached ( 5 ) .
this anemone is common on the south and western coasts of britain ( 4 ) and reaches the northern extreme of its range in the shetland isles ( 3 ) . it is found as far south as the mediterranean ( 4 ) .
you can view distribution information for this species at the national biodiversity network atlas .
found on rocks in shaded places such as beneath overhangs and in crevices on the lower shore ( 2 ) , extending down to the sublittoral to depths of about 80 m ( 3 ) .

asexually of asexual reproduction : reproduction that does not involve the formation of sex cells ( ‘gametes’ ) . in many species , asexual reproduction can occur by fission ( or in plants ‘vegetative reproduction’ ) ; part of the organism breaks away and develops into a separate individual . some animals , including vertebrates can develop from unfertilised eggs , this process , known as parthenogenesis gives rise to offspring that are genetically identical to the parent . sublittoral a marine zone between the littoral zone ( the shallow zone where light reaches the bed , subject to submersion and exposure by tides ) and depths of around 200m .

how to distinguish from similar species : there are no other anemone - like species in our area with club - tipped tentacles . the orange cup coral balanophyllia elegans is of similar size and often similar color ( photo ) but has a hard skeleton and does not have club - tipped tentacles .
geographical range : this species is said to be common in some areas of southern california but i have not often encountered it . it occurs from british columbia to san martin island , baja california but is rarely found intertidally north of california .
habitat : rocky shores ( under rock ledges ) , concrete wharf pilings , plastic foam floats . especially where there are strong currents .
biology / natural history : the knobbed tentacles contain very large cnidae , easy to view under the microscope . undischarged cnidae have osmotic pressures up to 140 atmospheres . has been observed in the lab to defend against attack by anthopleura elegantissima by extending its cnidae - rich mesenteries through the mouth . this species reproduces asexually by longitudinal fission . clones are all the same color . feeds on copepods , nauplius larvae , and other small animals .

general notes and observations : locations , abundances , unusual behaviors , etc . :
since they do not have a solid skeleton as does balanophyllia elegans , the polyps can stretch out quite tall , as seen in this photo . taken at monterey bay aquarium by dave cowles , august 2010 .
these individuals from the monterey bay aquarium show another color variation - - strongly white tentacles .
reaches its northern limit in shetland . it is found around the south and west coasts of britain and all around ireland .
recorded around the british isles , south - west europe and into the mediterranean .
occurs from the lower shore and into the subtidal to about 50 m ( sometimes to 80 m ) on rocks , in caves and beneath overhangs where it is shaded from light . the anemone is often found in dense aggregations especially on vertical rock faces .

genus come in oranges , greens , pinks , and reds , which can be almost fluorescent and are extremely vibrant . these colors look especially awesome with animals that have clear tentacles and contrasting colored tips . to top that off , those tentacles can then be branching tentacles .
the strawberry anemone , or club tipped anemone , is an amazing variation to the corallimorphidae family . these corallimorphs grow only to 1
( 2 . 5 cm ) , so they can be kept in a small nano reef of just 1 gallon or more . some other common names it is known by are the california sea anemone , californian coral anemone , club tipped sea anemone , california club - ray , and strawberry corallimorpharian .
this is truly an amazing animal that will be a great addition to your cold water aquarium . only a few relatives of this group live in warmer waters . for the most part , chillers are essential for these mushroom corals . they also cannot handle high water flow and need very little light . its suggested that they be hand fed at night as many
the strawberry anemone is a hardy , durable cold water species . they do need cool temperatures that would require a chiller . but if given a cold water reef environment with proper care and feeding , they can do well . also with the correct husbandry they will reproduce in captivity .
was described by carlgren in 1936 . other common names this mushroom coral is known by are california sea anemone , californian coral anemone , club tipped sea anemone , california club - ray , and strawberry corallimorpharian .
is commonly known as the jewel coral anemone . other common names these corallimorphs are known for are white ball corallimorph , and orange ball corallimorph .
genus are found in the eastern pacific and north atlantic oceans in temperate waters . there are only a few that are from tropical waters , but these are rare and not as available to aquarists . the
is found in the eastern pacific ocean , carpeting the bottom of the cambell river in british columbia and monterey bay in california .
genus are sometimes found attached to live rock , although are also found in sandy and rocky areas near the reefs . they are found at various depths , often in groups . the members of the
family , in contrast to true anemones , are not colonial . they may live in groups but there is no contact between the individuals .
are found in various other areas as well , like shaded vertical rocks over 300 feet deep ( 90 m ) and also tide pools in temperatures that range from 59° to 68° f ( 15° - 20° c ) . under the correct husbandry they will reproduce in captivity . predators are unknown .
genus are basically a coral without a skeleton and their internal structures are the same as stony corals . these corals are closely related to stony corals with basilar muscles , and are less like anemones except for the fact that neither have a calcareous skeletal structure .
the top of their body or the upper surface is called the oral disc . the stalk area , which is very small , is called the column and it is located just above the pedal disc which is where they attach to surfaces . on the surface , or oral disc , they have feeding tentacles to capture prey that hold several types of stinging cells . the tentacles are clear to white and have club shaped or fringed tips . they can be white , pink , red , orange , green , and clear in color . the
is bright red with clear to white tentacles with fringed tentacle tips that can be white or clear .
these corals grow to about 1
( 2 . 5 cm ) depending on the species but their life span is unknown .
this corallimorph is rarely available for sale . if you are able to acquire them , the strawberry anemone is quite hardy . they are moderate to difficult to care for since they need cool temperatures that would require a chiller . they also cannot handle high water flow and need very little light . they may need to be hand fed at night as many are nocturnal .
species , yet general good husbandry , water quality , temperature and appropriate feedings are basic . some
mushroom corals ares from warm and temperate waters . obviously , the warm water species are easier to care for with basic mushroom husbandry .
the strawberry anemone or club tipped anemone is a carnivore from temperate waters . all the cool water
anemones need to be hand fed small pieces of raw fish , shrimp , mussel flesh , and tubifex worms . feed 2 to 3 times per month . warm water
need to be fed the same foods several times a week to encourage division .
water changes of 10 % bi - monthly or 20 % a month are typical . monitor your water quality for your particular situation and adjust your water changes accordingly . do not over skim since the
genus need nutrients to survive on and will not do well in a pristine environment . provide proper magnesium levels , also some claim proper iodine levels are beneficial . due to their toxins , active carbon is also a good idea with larger groups of mushrooms .
the typical reef environment is what is needed for your strawberry anemone ; i . e . live rock in a reef environment for cold water . they need live rock or some other solid material they can attach to . this is a cold water animal and a chiller is needed to provide the proper environment .
will extrude their mesenteries into certain sea anemones and corals and kill them . they will extend their filaments resulting in all other corals , including zoanthids , to retract , move , or die .
the first is called budding , which is when the mushroom will allow a small piece of tissue to grow and form from the parent , which in turn becomes a new animal .
the second way is laceration , which happens when they move slowly over the surface and leave behind
mini - me
pieces that will eventually form into mushrooms .
the third way is fission , which is seen a lot in bubble tip anemones , and this is when they basically split themselves right in half , though the center and then wrap back around themselves to create 2 smaller versions .
the fourth is called transverse fission where the top is pinched off and floats away to reattach in another spot and start a new colony . the stalk that remains , reforms into a new mushroom clone .
will use fission and pedal laceration most of the time , but have also used external fertilization resulting in free - swimmng larva . propagating is fairly easy :
using sharp scissors or a scalpel , cut the mushroom in half right down the center , through the mouth .
if a second cut is wanted , take one of the halves you just cut and cut again through the mouth .
place the mushrooms on loose rubble in water flow that is weak to very low . it would be suggested to do this in a small
recovery
tank with the same water as the main display since they may get lost and they also will be exuding a lot of toxins from their little surgery . this will allow them to reattach to a piece of rock and heal , then at that point , they can be moved to the main display .
the smell you will experience are the toxins these animals use for pushing other corals out of their growth path . it would be prudent to wash your hands if you didn ' t use gloves . within a few days all of your
cuts
will become new mushrooms and they can now be glued , sewn or pinned where you would like if they have not attached to the rubble .
genus are very rarely for sale . they are very difficult to come by and pricing is not possible at this time .

description : a small clonal anemone with a smooth column up to 15mm in height and diameter . the disc is wide , the tentacles have rounded knobs at their tips , up to 100 in number . the colour is often brilliant green , red , pink , orange , white or brown , in various combinations , usually the tentacle knobs contrast with the colour of the column . reproduces by longitudinal fission , ie . dividing in half vertically . sometimes the resulting anemones do not separate completely .
habitat : lives on rocks , occurring in shaded places low on the shore , or sublittorally down to about 50m , always in strong wave action or tidal streams . usually occurs in large aggregations consisting of patches of similarly coloured clones .
distribution : frequent on south and west coasts as far north as northern scotland ; also occurs around southwest europe and in the mediterranean .
similar species : the cup - corals caryophyllia smithii and caryophyllia inornata also have knobbed tentacles of similar appearance , but they possess hard calcareous skeletons .

japalura splendida , the japalura tree dragon also called banana split mountain lizard , chinese tree dragon , dragon agama , or neon tree dragon , is an agamid lizard found in southwestern china in the provinces of hunan , hubei , guizhou , yunnan , sichuan , gansu , and henan , and also in the southeast of tibet .

in captivity the japalura tree dragon requires a warm , humid environment .

they are an active and arboreal species , and should only be kept in a medium to large size vivarium , with plenty of limbs and ledges in which to seek elevation .

they can be fed on a variety of domestically bred insects , and need a bowl of water to bathe in .

the japalura tree dragon , like many arboreal lizard species , will drink from water droplets found on leaves , often from rain or dew , so they will require a drip or misting system to stimulate this in captivity .

in the wild , these lizards will also bask to absorb heat and ultraviolet radiation from the sun , so sufficient lighting should be provided in a captive environment to replicate this .

tree dragons are typically not territorial towards other lizards , although males should never be kept together , and they are very dominant feeders due to their voracious appetite , which may present additional hassles when they are kept in a communal setting .

they are not aggressive towards humans , however , they may be skittish and attempt to flee .

this may make handling a difficulty due to their speed .

had a single male japalura splendida ( neon tree dragon , though it has a lot of common names ) and decided to get him a female companion . this is a very short time after they were introduced to each other . the male mostly did a lot of head bobbing and push ups , but wasn ' t overtly aggressive with her . this is just a very short clip showing the head bobbing behavior .

very nice viv mate i hope to get my splendida viv planted in the near future . i loved it to start with but now its annoying me but there away to get a bigger viv so will try and ger round to it then
two weeks ago i started a terrarium with two japalura splendida . after 2 days one of them became lethargic and died . the pet store gave me a replacement and it too died a couple of days later . all of these reptiles seemed healthy at the store . my current lizard is from the original two and now he seems to becoming lethargic . my terrarium is well foilaged with ample water and lighting . the temp ranges from 72 - 82 degrees farenheit . what should i be looking for ?
i ' m sorry to hear about your japalura . if it is any comfort to you most of them are wild caught and they are fairly new on theherp scene so there is still a lot that needs to be figured out about them .

are very territorial and easily stress in crowded conditions . they do best housed with no more than 2 dragons per 20 gallon tank with at least one hiding spot ( such as a hollow piece of cork ) and one bright basking spot per lizard . lots of plastic plants or live plants are needed to break up the sight lines so the lizards can hide from each other easily .
hey guys i was wondering if any of you know a good place to get japalura splendida in the ne of england ? have done some looking around and did inquire at coasttocoase they did seem to have some but they thought they are 2 males . i ' m after a male and a female if possible . i am quite new to it all but done a lot of reading up on the specs . this care sheet was really helpfull . was hoping to get a cb but from what i understand from everyone is that thats close to impossible in the uk . so was hoping maybe you guys know somewhere or maybe are willing to part with some hatchlings from a unrelated pare ? any advise or help ?
in spring 2011 , high mortality in association with skin lesions , systemic haemorrhages and necrosis occurred in a group of green striped tree dragons ( japalura splendida ) which were imported from southwestern china via florida to germany . infections with various endoparasites were diagnosed in coprological examinations . different antiparasitic and antibiotic treatments over a period of three months did not reduce the mortality rate . the remaining animals were therefore euthanased and submitted for additional testing . predominant findings in pathological examination were granulomatous and necrotising inflammation of the skin , vacuolar tubulonephrosis of the distal renal tubules , hyperaemia and liver necrosis . eosinophilic intranuclear and basophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were detected in the liver . virological testing ( pcr and virus isolation methods ) demonstrated the presence of ranavirus , adenovirus and invertebrate iridovirus .

well , i ' m
herp - less
now . my japalura splendida died last night . i haven ' t had him for long and the pet store that i purchased him from is issuing me a credit for the loss . so , i don ' t want to give up on herps but i do want to clean the enclosure and start fresh with something else . i ' m using a 29 - gallon tank with a lockable screen top . obviously , i don ' t want to purchase another reptile without researching it first and allowing me the chance to set up the terrarium in advance . i don ' t have a preference as to what i raise but i would like something that won ' t outgrow my set up . any suggestions , recommendations or comments appreciated .

japalura splendida feed on insects and arthropods , their eyes capture the movement of the prey and require a naturalistic hunting environment as feeding with tweezers in not natural and not recommended . they prefer flies , moths and wasps . crickets and locust can also be used as part of their diet as long as their big enough . although i have found that they do like wax worms and mealworms as a treat . also honey worms have been suggest and even zophobas and cockroaches . any food should be no bigger than the reptiles head . the food should also be gut loaded before feeding , this is done by providing the food with food ( e . g . potato , carrots ( very good ) , oats ) . all food must be dusted with a vitamin supplement for them to get an ample amount of vitamins and minerals into their body . they do not bother with earthworms , woodlice and springtails that are in the substrate and as a result are not eaten .
for breeding you will need a male and at least one female , but i ' m sure you already knew that ( you will also need a suitable place for eggs to be laid , though don ' t be surprised if the female completely refuses to use the place you have set up for her like mine did . to be able to tell the difference in gender the best way is with pictures . some detailed information on determining gender of japalura splendidas can be found at
maybe better posting a wanted ad in the classifieds than on a care sheet thread . my best advice would be to keep an eye on monkfield ' s stock list , they update it every monday . they seem to be the more common supplier of j . splendida around - but you ' ll need to contact a shop who use them as they don ' t sell direct to customers . if you want cb , hamm is probably your best bet , or wait and see if myself , kirky or some of the other keepers on here have any luck this year .

[ font = & quot ] hey everyone . i am fairly new to the herp hobby . i have always stayed aquatic and now have herp fever as well . lol i don & # 8217 ; t think my house is big enough for this lmao . well i picked up a japalura splendida about 6 months ago and fell in love with the little guys . ( i know they are pretty common but they are fun ) anywho , i recently rescued one from petco a couple days ago . i normally don & # 8217 ; t buy anything there usually just go to look but i felt so bad for the little girl i had to bring her home . i was wondering if anyone could help me . i was wondering if both of mine are female ( i think so from what little info i have found on them ) and any breeding or other info would be greatly appreciated . i want to pick up a male and possibly build a walk in terrarium to house about 10 maybe more , ( but that & # 8217 ; s later down the road ) . added some pics . the first 4 are ryu the first little girl i got . the last 2 are my new little girl tatsu that is currently in a quarantine tank till i nurse her back to health and fatten her up .
as someone else said , i haven ' t really ever heard of silver city serpentarium either . though i would sadly have to say that big apple herp does not have any of these beautiful lizards , i am happy to say that i know lll reptile should have some ( listed as green tree calotes there , but they are the same - - - - this lizard actually has a multitude of names [ i . e . , japalura splendidas , banana split lizards , neon tree dragons , chinese tree dragons , green tree calotes , calotes , calotes whatever , green calotes , dragon agamas , chinese bergagame , neon agama , etc . ] and there are so many inaccurate care sheets out there because really don ' t know very much of anything about these lizards ) , which is probably why the care sheets are so inaccurate they have too many names .

neon tree dragon is a common name used in the pet trade for a variety of small agamid lizards from southeast asia . agamid lizards are an old world family of lizards that include bearded dragons and uromastyx lizards .
in addition to a basking spot that hits 90 - 95°f during the day , neon tree dragons need strong uvb light for at least 10 hrs a day or else they readily develop nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism ( a form of metabolic bone disease ) . they also need high humidity and frequent spraying as they only drink from droplets . if they do not get enough humidity , they will retain shed skin ( as may be seen on the tip of the nose of the dragon at the top of this page ) . however , they also need plenty of fresh air or else they develop skin infections .
they do best with crickets no longer than the space between the dragon ' s eyes . some will eat waxworms . it is important to dust the insects at every meal with a calcium supplement containing d3 such as zoomed ' s calcium with d3 and a once a week dusting with a multivitamin containing pure vitamin a such as zoomed ' s reptivite .
this neon tree dragon has a broken back as a result of a metabolic bone disease ( red arrow ) . there is also a change in color ( blue arrow ) showing where there is unshed skin .
unfortunately the neon tree dragons are almost always wild - caught imports and suffer from a variety of intestinal parasites and other infectious diseases . it is extremely important to have your new neon tree dragon checked for parasites by submitting a fresh fecal sample to a veterinarian within the first few days of bringing it home .

right guys , i ' ve decided to post this caresheet up as there is next to nothing on decent information about these stunning little reptiles on the internet ( thats in english anyway ) . i ' ve managed to translate and retype this caresheet , so that anyone looking into keeping a tree dragon can fully understand that they are not a beginners reptile and do take abit of knowledge on keeping them . although , i found that once you have the setup perfected then they are no harder than other tropical lizards . just want to say thanks to kirky1980 for getting me into the amazing reptiles and helping me through the steps to keeping them . also the original german caresheet was provided by him , if it wasn ' t for him i would ' nt of stumbled across these beauties !
at least 50cm in depth , width of about 100cm and height about 100cm for a trio , ( 1 male and 2 females ) never put 2 males in one enclosure ! around a 20 gallon tank should be big enough for one , but due to these reptiles being arboreal height is more important than length . adequate ventilation is also needed .
- tree dragons do not recognise glass , so there needs to be a generous amount of plants all over .
the ground plays a big role in the attitude of the tree dragons . it is mainly for egg laying by the female . it needs to be around 10 - 20cm deep . a good substrate is important in the humidity and climate of the terrarium also . a mixture of terrarium humus , pine bark , peat , soil and sand . pine bark is very good as it has natural germ killing properties , also the humus and bark will retain a lot of moisture in the terrarium .
tropical woodlice , springtails and earthworms are also highly recommended for cleaning purposes of the terrarium as they will clean up any faeces , mould and other biodegradable rubbish in the terrarium , this will also make the substrate bioactive and if maintained properly will rarely need changing .
tree dragons only recognise running water , this is why it is vital or at least highly recommended to have either a stream or waterfall in the terrarium . they can absorb water in this way no problem , they do prefer a trickling stream or waterfall rather than a pool as they do not swim . it is very important for tree dragons to take in water as this will help them successfully shed their skin . it is vital that all the skin is shed as it can cause complications with the tree dragons . they also do not require a water bowl and would not use one as it is not running water .
it is important that when constructing a waterfall or stream that there is plenty of water in there as it has been mentioned that they do like to lie in the water , although it needs to be ensured that it is not too deep they will drown . it needs to be dug in deep enough that the female does not dig any of the appliances out when laying eggs .
a well designed landscape is needed , with a watercourse added and a number of plants in the substrate and also in the walls if able to do so . odd shaped branches and vines should be running constantly through the enclosure along with rock formations to enable plenty of different climbing spaces for the dragons . all equipment and decoration must be sterilised before putting them in the terrarium , this is done by either heating them in the oven or freezing them in a freezer to kill any parasites .
as the tree dragons are arboreal they require a lot of higher growing vegetation and plants , live plants work very well in the terrarium as they provide an increased amount of oxygen and also increase the humidity . the leaves of the plants also need a good spraying 2 - 3 times daily for many reasons ; personal hygiene and cleaning , the lizards will drink the water from the leaves , increase the humidity and to water the plants . it is important to find plants that thrive well in the conditions required for the dragons as they have to tolerate a lot of moisture and offer the lizards a “forest of leaves” to hide in a move around .
a styrofoam design is good as they come with many terrariums , but if constructing one yourself it should be laminated with epoxy resin and covered with natural substrates such as bark and humus .
the temperature should be staggered from bottom to top of around , mid to low 80sf ( 27c to 30c max ) around basking spot and mid to low 70sf ( 21c to 25c ) cool end or the terrarium floor . night time temperatures can vary between around 64f to 70f ( 18c to 21c ) , in the substrate it should be around 12c . the tank lights should turn on around 08 : 00 , at the same time the waterfall should start and the tank should be sprayed with plenty of water , the heat should increase only slightly around 10 : 00 and the humidity should fall slightly , eventually reaching a maximum temperature of around 86f ( 30c ) by 16 : 00 the tank should then start to cool down . the humidity should rise as the tank is cooling and should cool no lower than 64f ( 18c )
in the day the humidity should be around 50 % and 90 % but no higher , although i don’t like to let mine drop below 70 % . at night the humidity should be at least around 90 % . as stated above the higher the temperature the lower the humidity , which requires more spraying of the tank . the waterfall and plants will aid the humidity of the terrarium but does require spraying around 2 - 3 times daily but , a mini fogger or rain system is a good idea to keep the humidity up , although there needs to be enough drainage layer for the rain system .
fluorescent tubes ( lsr ) are the preferred choice and provide a good output of light on a lower power consumption and minimal heat radiation in the area , although coils are ok to use , but they can be expensive . the lighting should be on at least a 12 hour cycle , although i do have mine on about 14 hours , dependant on the amount of daylight outside and for viewing purpose until the dragons are asleep .
as the lizards are diurnal they require uv light , uva and uvb light is very important to them as their entire calcium balance depends on the intensity of these rays , as they allow the vitamin d3 to be made in the skin . the absence of this lighting will prevent the correct vitamins being made and will cause bone disease in the reptiles , they will also refuse food , have shedding difficulties , a weakened immune system , inertial motion and in turn a disturbed body care .
a 5 - 6 % fluorescent tube is probably the best uv lighting to use , but make sure the reptiles have a place to hide from it if they wish . also keep in mind that some glass filters uv light so it is best to place the light on a gauze mesh above the tank .
this means adding vitamins , minerals and essential fatty acids in a concentration form as they are vital for the animal . ensure calcium is in the supplement . this will prevent the diseases and the deficiency of some vitamins and minerals . i also like to place a calcium dish in the terrarium for the dragons to find at their leisure as it is especially important in the production of eggs , although they should be getting enough from dusting their food so this is not necessary .
thanks for taking the time to read this , i hope that it has given you a lot more information on what is required of these lizards and whether you think they are for you or not .
if you think i have missed any information on these please don ' t hesistate to ask and i ' ll try do my best to sort it .
very nicely done its something iv been meaning to do for a long time but never got round to it . but its there in all its glory now , if people follow that care guide then they will have very happy tree dragons hows yours doing anyway mate ? ?
ged i and a lot of other people on the forum would never recommend mixing species if only there is no risk and if it is benefically e . g . tropical woodlice and crested geckos , so i would say no as it ' s not worth the risk .
yer he ' s sound ! just refurb his enclosure , its looking loads better but still needs filling up more . i ' m going to get a fogger for it i think as i ' m going away next week and need to keep the humidity up .

that ' s pretty fast to just die . did you build the terrarium yourself ?
yes , thats odd . tell us about your setup a bit more . photos would be good . what type of soil did you use ?
here ' s a photo of my set up . it ' s a 29 gallon tall tank . i used 100 % fir bark for the bedding . the black hoses that you see are a for a manual misting system . i ' ve attached a photos of my agama from a week or so ago with his eyes wide open and photos of him today . when i pick him up he quickly crawls up to my shoulder but doesn ' t open his eyes . what do you think ?
i have no idea , unless if the whole bunch from the store is infected with something . i really don ' t know anything about them . i asked about substrate because lots of times people use stuff that isn ' t good , like potting soil with fertilizer . my theory is , when in doubt , see a vet .
you said climbs up your shoulder ? i know that won ' t cause death , but the little dude is probably under a lot of stress . you should pretty much leave him alone for a few weeks , with just going into his tank for food , water and cleaning . let him get used to the new surroundings .
with such quick deaths my first guess would be stress . many of these lizards are carrying internal parasites and are already physically and psychologically stressed out before you even buy them .
you could also try smelling the bedding . fir trees are an evergreen . if it smells reminiscent of pine or cedar , that could be your problem . those trees contain toxins that are unsuitable for any animal , especially small ones like your splendid tree lizards .
thanks for the suggestions . the pet store ( pet world warehouse ) didn ' t have a lot of info on these agamas except to say that they prefer room temperatures not below 70 degrees and to feed them dusted crickets as their main food . the substrate that i purchased is made by zoo med and is called premium repti bark . it has a woodsy smell . almost like moss or dirt . it holds moisture but i don ' t track the humidity level as of yet . the info that i ' ve found on this lizard says that they like humidity but not so much the uv ' s . my terrarium has a 20w 7 . 0 uvb florecent daylight bulb , a 60w red - night bulb , and a 60w black - night bulb . with any combination of bulbs being on , the tanks upper half stays between 72 - 85 degrees . as far as what i ' m dusting the crickets with i ' m using tetrafauna ' s reptocal with calcium and vitamin d3 . i ' ve only recently handled the agama . more or less to see if he ' s still with us .
that doesn ' t sound too bad . the caresheet looks ok for the most part too , though i wouldn ' t say it ' s the most reliable source of information . i skimmed it , and with false statements like
two males have never successfully lived together in any of the reptile species .
and
part of the genus agama . . .
, and not going specific enough when talking about uv rays ( uvb is the critical one ) , i wouldn ' t call the caresheet a bible for splendid tree lizards by any means .
for starters with a 29 gal tank you could go with a leopard gecko or a cornsnake .
corns are great snakes . easy to handle and keep , docile , and easy feeders .
obviously , with any animal , there are a lot of opinions and recommendations as to their overall care . as an owner of corn snakes what are your most important observations or guideliness ? i ' ve found several internet sellers of corn snakes and would consider going that route when purchasing one .
welcome to herpcenter . . . . . sorry to hear of your losses . . . . hopefully you will have better luck with something new . . . . best wishes . . .

would like to know if there are any good reads for them . from what i have collected there isnt much info on them besides the very basics which vary of course . from what i have read they are very similar to some species of chameleons husbandry wise . same lights , arboreal lizards that drink from leaves , high humidity etc etc .
anyway , i got one yesterday after i came to the conclusion that they are quite similar to chameleons . i am not usually interested in anything but chameleons but this guy caught my eye . the first day i checked him out and he appears to be in great shape . no missing toes , full tail , clean mouth , alert , highly active , etc etc , so . . . . . . . . . .
as usual , the lizards i like , there is next to no information . any experience is appreciated . will try to get some pics up at some point in time .
bert langerwerf wrote of his short experiment breeding them , but i can ' t remember if the info you want is in his water dragon book , a back issue of reptiles magazine , or reptiles magazine site online ( can ' t remember the name of that site either lol ) .
i have a pair right now ( and some eggs incubating ) - i have had them about 6 - 8 months now ! they are very active during the day . mine love to run upside down on the screen top . i feed them crickets and mealworms . i have a 40 wt bulb and a 5 . 0 uvb light . i have pics from a previous post of their setup . they are very funny to watch !
i like the colors and patterns also . ill have to look up your thread .
thanks , flux . its neat to know bert was working with them also . ill have to try and find his article . if you do come across it though let me know .
sorry to necro this thread , but i am trying to find someone who has successfully hatched these . have had a number of failed clutches . trying to find out what the eggs are supposed to be like when freshly laid and best incubating parameters - can ' t find a lot online at all .

i got my boy about 9 months ago . he had a good reason to be grumpy but he came in healthy and chubby with wonderful skin and color . he mostly tamed out in 6 months he has been the most rewarding reptile i own . sas was easy to work with and easy to contact too and was a great expereance . the only thing i wish they knew how to do is sex the caiman lizards . its really easy to tell about a 4 - 6 weeks after hatching . i did get a male ( which i wanted ) but i would have liked a guarantee of the sex i wanted .
received my little guy and i couldn ' t be happier . first , the fed ex guy was extra careful , as he told me he kept him next to him for the whole time making sure he was not too hot or cold . ( right on fed ex ! ) he arrived very muscular and well fed , but he didn ' t eat for a week , and was sleeping a lot , so i e - mailed mike and he told me to increase the ambient temperature from the 80deg i had it at to 82deg and increased his basking spot from 90deg to 100deg . that did the trick . hes eating like a pig , still very shy , but nothing i can ' t work with . thanks mike and snakes at sunset !
i received a healthy , and luckily tame , caiman lizard . he ate out of bowls perfectly and climbed up my hand whenever he can . sleeps in his water a lot too ! very curious , inquisitive , and an amazing pet overall !
my little guy arrived by 10 : 30am of the next day after i ordered . it was very stressed , and is still rather defensive , but it just started eating today ( after 2 days ) and it really seems to be coming around . i suggest if you order one , do your research . if you have any questions , either email or talk to snakesatsunset on their facebook page , they always respond with helpful advice .
had one delivered to me the other day and it ' s already gotten attached to me . has been eating since it got it and is thriving . purchasing one of these babies are worth it .
male yearling caiman lizard came in and i am very happy with him , very active and healthy . ate for me next day . i would highly recomend snakesatsunset to anyone purchasing a reptile online
i got my baby caiman lizard about three days ago he ' s beautiful healthy and loving his enclosure would definitely recommend snakes at sunset . thank you guys !
both caiman lizards came in active and healthy . they started eating within an hour of being in their new cage . i ' m very happy with what i received and would highly recommend buying from snakes at sunset .
ordered one of these caiman lizard babies in early february . mike was very helpful in solving shipping issues due to the cold snaps we have been getting here in chicago . i always received a reply to any emails sent . the lizard arrived in great condition . packaging kept stress on the animal to a minimal . animal ate within the first few hours of its arrival . it ' s taking a variety of foods from snails and shrimp to cat food and lean turkey . this is very important at this young stage and i was very pleased . the caiman lizard is easy to handle and has hand tamed very well . just starting to clicker train it with great success . overall , i am very pleased with this purchase and look forward to doing business with snakes at sunset in the future !
hello ! i ' m getting a bearded dragon tomorrow and i ' ve been researching for a while to ensure i am ready . i have printed off a few care sheets and just wanted to clear up a few things . first of all i ' ll be purchasing a baby beardie rather than an adult . i have a viv that is 40
x 20
x 20
, will this be satisfactory for the beardie ? the other thing is the heating , is it 3 different sources the beardie requires ? i see that they require around 12 hours of uv light which i have a tube for . they also need 24 hours of heat so would i just leave a heat lamp on at all times on one side of the viv ? also i have seen
moonlights
in petshops . when it gets to night time do i turn the heat lamp on and use this instead till i wake up ? sorry , little confused there . the final thing is will play sand be okay to use as the bedding ? the final thing was water , i hear you use a water bowl for the beardie to bathe in and then spray it in the face ( o _ o ? ) as it will lick the droplets and spray the walls too . thanks for any clearing up ! jack p . s - i have a herman ' s tortoise too , now i ' m not going to put them in the same viv but would it be okay to introduce them ? : p

phreatoicidae is a family of blind , freshwater isopods .

they have survived apparently unchanged for 350 million years , and are only found in south africa , india , australia and new zealand .

they were first found near christchurch in 1882 by charles chilton .

the family phreatoicidae now contains 13 genera : colacanthotelson nicholls , 1944 colubotelson nicholls , 1944 crenoicus nicholls , 1944 gariwerdeus wilson & keable , 2002 mesacanthotelson nicholls , 1944 metaphreatoicus nicholls , 1944 naiopegia wilson & keable , 2002 neophreatoicus nicholls , 1944 notamphisopus nicholls , 1944 onchotelson nicholls , 1944 paraphreatoicus nicholls , 1944 phreatoicus chilton , 1883 uramphisopus nicholls , 1943

phreatoicidae

ecology : phreatoicidae belongs to the suborder phreatoicidea . instream habitat : phreatoicideans occur in streams , burrow in moist soil , in yabby burrows , ground water and underground streams . phreatoicidae species live in freshwater streams and lakes . feeding ecology : habit : many phreatoicidean species are curled under at the end . this spiny posterior is used to push them through the cryptic habitats they favour . the ‘head to toe’ curl is typically a resting or defensive position . life history :

some of the world’s most ancient and fascinating animals have been re - discovered in southern new zealand . prospects for their survival look good – provided groundwaters and wetlands are protected .
over the past two years , department of conservation workers and scientists from the national institute of water & atmospheric research have been painstakingly searching for phreatoicids ( pron . free - at - o - ik - ids ) .
this intensive search of over 230 locations yielded phreatoicids at 66 places . the scientists believe they have now found all the known species , and have even discovered some new ones .
if they were the size of tuatara , kiwi , or wetas , these cryptic , aquatic animals would be equally iconic because they are so bizarre . phreatoicids are blind , unpigmented isopods ( relatives of slaters and fish lice , and a sister group to crabs , shrimps , land hoppers and , more distantly , insects ) . they play a vital role in cleaning up freshwater .
true relicts ( or “ghosts of gondwana” , to borrow george gibbs’s words ) , phreatoicids have persisted unchanged for some 350 million years . but being just 20 millimetres long and dwelling in extremely mucky places , they have lingered mostly forgotten and unnoticed . in fact , they are so poorly known that they have no common name !
phreatoicids are confined to four of ancient gondwana’s five main remnants ( south africa , india , australia , new zealand ; not south america ) . first discovered near christchurch in 1882 by charles chilton , a leading crustacean scientist at canterbury college ( now university of canterbury ) , scientists at the time were puzzled by phreatoicids’ body structure that is intermediate between other types of crustaceans . by 1944 , nine species in three genera were discovered from new zealand , but have been largely unknown since , prompting scientists to wonder whether some species had become endangered or even extinct .
the terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity information system programme , administered by the department of conservation , aims to raise awareness , provide identification tools and make data accessible to improve the new zealanders’ understanding of the need for protection of biodiversity and significant habitats . it contracted niwa to investigate the conservation status of new zealand’s endemic phreatoicids , so that any threatened species and habitat can be protected . niwa’s investigations focused on six species which have not been reported for over 60 years . these species live in surface waters in the southern south island and appear to be important in breaking down dead plant matter to recycle their nutrients . full details of the locations and habitats where phreatoicids were found will be in niwa’s publically - available freshwater biodata information system once the study is completed .
the research results appear to be remarkably good news . phreatoicids were surprisingly abundant when present ; on ruapuke island in foveaux strait , for example , densities were estimated at over 200 per square metre . on stewart island , phreatoicids were common close to oban township , as well as the remote toitoi flats wetland and other locations . dense populations were found in several modified habitats , notably in drainage channels downstream of bayswater peatland scenic reserve near otautau in southland , amongst submerged , dead leaves of introduced grasses around road culverts on several roads in southland , and on macrocarpa tree roots in one drainage ditch .
the best - known named species , plus two lesser known named species , live entirely within canterbury’s groundwater . niwa discovered one of these species in huge numbers : “we easily collected a cupful – several hundred animals – at a time from wells 20 metres below the surface . these tiny , blind crustaceans play a major role in cleansing the region’s groundwater , keeping our drinking water naturally pure , ” says dr graham fenwick , niwa’s assistant regional manager in christchurch .
survivors through aeons , phreatoicids live in a variety of habitats . some live in soupy , muddy ponds with almost no dissolved oxygen , others in quite acid conditions ( ph 4 . 5 ) . most seem to prefer various types of leaf litter . they avoid swift currents , but some do inhabit slow flowing rivers , while others find refuge in crevices or under rocks in various lowland or foothills streams . when their habitat dries too much , phreatoicids can walk short distances in search of another wet area ; others burrow as water levels retreat , or simply curl up in damp moss or leaf litter to survive brief dry periods .
but the full story is yet to be unravelled . at least four new species were discovered . the unique characteristics of each species are being studied carefully , so that each species can be reliably re - identified and distinguished from others . this vital step is essential for determining each species’ geographic range , abundance and true conservation status . with a history of little morphological change over 350 million years , this task is challenging because differences between our native species that have evolved much more recently are very subtle indeed .
“their high abundances , habitats preferences , and wide tolerances indicate that these ghosts of new zealand’s ancient continental origins can survive in the face of considerable human changes to the landscape , so long as wetlands , in their various forms , are kept intact , ” dr fenwick says .
