 Meet the Not-So-Furry Creatures

Silly & Willy are spotted salamanders. Salamanders are amphibians
- they hatch with gills and slowly transform into land roaming
creatures. We raised them from waterdogs (like tadpoles) and they
are so cool! They make great pets - they're fun to watch, they'll
eat out of your hand, and they have unique personalities like dogs
or cats. You can usually pick up waterdogs at bait stores for
around $1-$2 (rescue them before they become fish food!) and they're pretty inexpensive to
set up and care for.

Spike is a Bearded Dragon. Bearded Dragons come from Australia, but the majority
sold as pets in the US, like Spike, are captive bred. He is 1 year old, and is about 14" from head to tail. He is very
friendly - he never bites or whips his tail. Spike's favorite foods are superworms, earthworms, mice, crickets and romaine lettuce. He loves to perch on the back of the couch or the top of Samson's head and watch TV. Spike resides in a 6 foot terrarium.

Burt & Ernie are Baby Box Turtles. They live in most forested areas of the US, and are relatively easy to breed in captivity. They are omnivores, so they will eat just about anything you toss in the cage. They tend to be a little more aggressive than the tortoises and will latch onto a finger if you're not careful!

Oozje is a Columbian Red-Tail Boa Constrictor.
He is an extremely friendly snake who just loves coiling up around
an arm for a cozy nap. He should be about 6-8 feet long when he is
full grown. Columbian Boas make great pets as long as you take the
time to learn how to handle them properly, and can provide them
with a large enough secure enclosure. |
