Black mamba

The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is avenomous snake endemic to parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Specimens vary in colour from brown or grey to quite dark, but not really black. Juvenile black mambas tend to be lighter in colour than adults and to darken with age. It is the longest species of venomous snake indigenous to the African continent; mature specimens generally exceed 6.6 ft and commonly attain 9.8 ft. Specimens of even 14.1 to 14.8 ft have been reported. The black mamba is a large, round-bodied, slender, but powerful snake. It tapers smoothly towards the tail. The black mamba does not typically hold onto prey after biting, instead releasing its quarry and waiting for it to succumb to paralysis and die. This however depends on the type of prey; for example, it typically will hold onto a bird till it stops struggling to escape. If prey attempts to escape or defend itself, the black mamba often may follow up its initial bite with a rapid series of strikes to incapacitate and quickly kill its prey. Predators of the black mamba include the brown snake eagel and mongoose. The black mamba doesn't have very many predators but they do have those two and they are very dangerous to this snake. Black mambas breed annually and mating occurs in the early spring, when male mambas locate a female by following her scent trail. After finding a potential mate the male will inspect the female by flicking his tongue over her entire body. There is little information available concerning the lifespan of wild black mambas, but the longest surviving captive example had a recorded lifespan of 11 years. The venom of the black mamba is highly toxic, commonly causing collapse in humans within 45 minutes or less from a single bite.

Bearded dragons

You will need to make sure your bearded dragon's tank is large enough for him/her to easily move around and feel at home. Too small of a tank can cause anxiety issues and can also negatively affect their growth. We have highlighted some general tank-size guidelines below. Keep in mind that you can't have too large of a tank, so it's always best to go bigger. The only drawback of having a very large tank is it will give their food (crickets, worms, etc.) more space to hide and will be harder to keep warm.Bearded dragons are omnivores, which mean they will eat both insects and vegetables. Your bearded dragon's diet will depend on his/her age. Younger bearded dragons will eat 80% insects and 20% vegetables, while adult bearded dragons will eat 20% insects and 80% vegetables.Average captive lifespan is between six and 10 years, though there are reports of specimens living twice that long. A lot of bearded dragons are from Switzerland and that's amazing because they come a very long way for you to have them as a pet. Bearded dragons are fairly easy pets they are almost like dogs because they seek human affection and like to play. They love to run around so if you can try to make enclosure for them where they can run around.

Jungle carpet python

The jungle carpet python subspecies are native to a small region of the northwestern Australian rain forests. They are a slender, mostly arboreal python, and adults generally grow to a length of 5 to 7 feet. In the wild, they rarely have the striking black-and-yellow appearance seen in the trophy specimens found in captive collections. A habitat the size of a 5- to 10-gallon aquarium will adequately house most jungles between several months to one year old. Jungle carpet pythons are nocturnal and have no special lighting requirements. A temperature gradient of 85 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit in the warm end of the enclosure and 68 to 75 degrees in the cool end is ideal. Jungle carpet pythons tolerate a wide humidity range, between 40 and 60 percent, and generally do not require misting the cage with water, although it helps to do this when they are in a shed cycle. Frozen-thawed rats, mice, chicks and quail are appropriate food for jungle carpet pythons. Many jungle carpets have a strong preference for mice over rats. Young jungle carpets are often “nippy,” which is appropriate behavior for a small prey animal. When removing them from the enclosure, don’t reach over them like a large predator might. Instead, lift them gently from underneath after they have a firm hold on your hand or a stick. Usually, they settle down and show less defensive biting behavior once they are used to handling. Jungle carpet pythons have a prehemptile tail which mean they can hang all their body weight by the tip of their tail and no other snake can do that if they tried they would fall imedietly.

Ball pythons

A ball python has a flat head and boxy snout. The body of a ball python has large spots of brown outlined in white and black. The spots on young ball pythons are yellow and green outlined in white and black. A healthy ball python will be round and firm. Ball pythongs eat small mice of larger mice as they get bigger but it depends on the size of the snake in general the smaller the snake usually you would feed it the small rodents. Most ball by thong eat live rodents but that's in the wild. Some in captivity still like to eat live but they also like to eat frozen in captivity because they don't develop the basic insintinct to attack its prey. In Europe, the ball python is referred to as the royal python. In the United States the name ball python was given to them because they curl themselves into a ball with their head in the center when they are nervous or upset. Captive ball pythons can live up to 50 years, but the average lifespan is approximately 30 years. In the wild, due to predators, their life span is much shorter. The eggs of this snake are very big and there are usually between 4 and 6 of them in a clutch. The female will place them in a burrow underground. They will emerge about 60 days later. 

Coral snake

Coral snakes are a venomous snake that are very commonly mistaken for the nelsons milkshake which has a very similar color. But the thing to remember is red on black is a friend of jack and red on yellow is a dead fellow. The colors of a coral snake alternate between black,red, and yellow so if the red and yellow touch beware. Coral snakes feed mostly on smaller snakes, lizards, frogs, nestling birds, small rodents, etc. Like all elapid snakes, coral snakes possess a pair of small hollow fangs to deliver their venom. The fangs are positioned at the front of the mouth. New World coral snakes possess one of the most potent venoms of any North American snake. However, relatively few bites are recorded due to their reclusive nature and the fact they generally inhabit sparsely populated areas. According to the American National Institutes of Health, there are an average of 15–25 coral snake bites in the United States each year. Coral snakes are not very large. Rare specimens may reach 3 feet in length, but most of them are 18 to 20 inches long. Female lays 3 to 5 eggs in the summer. It takes couple of months (2 to 3) for eggs to hatch.People rarely come in contact with coral snakes because they are active mostly during the night or early in the morning hours. Besides, coral snakes are not aggressive and they will rather hide than confront with the predator.

Iguanas

Iguanas are a omnivores lizard that live in tropical areas and most of them live in Mexico,central america,the carribean, and southern Brazil. Iguanas are pretty big they can reach a size of about five to six feet and that's including their tail. Most iguanas weigh about eleven pound and that's on average, some can be bigger or smaller depending on their diets. These lizards are active during the day and mucnch on flowers  and fruits that they can find laying around. They also tend to live near water so they don't have to go far for a drink. Iguanas are so tough that they can survive a fall from about forty feet in the air and still survive which is pretty amazing. If threatened the iguana will jump from the branch that it is on and land in water or on solid ground. They are excellent swimmers so that's also another reason that they tend to live towards water as an escape route from predators. They have strong jaws with razor-sharp teeth and sharp tails, which make up half their body length and can be used as whips to drive off predators. They can also detach their tails if caught and will grow another without permanent damage. The green iguana is arguably the most common reptile in the pet trade today. Green iguanas are readily available and almost one million are imported into the United States annually as babies. If kept properly, green iguanas live to be 15 to 20 years old. If you are to have an iguana as a pet you will need at the least a twenty gallon tank to keep it in as babies but as they get bigger they will need a much bigger cage. Most people build them in closures outside and keep them their as adults because they are so big. Iguanas need lots of heat and as babies one heating bulb will suffice but as adults they will need a
Lot more to keep them nice and warm.

Poison dart frog

Poison dart frogs are one of the most colorful and fascinating pets in the reptile and amphibian world. There are many misconceptions about poison dart frogs and their care. The most common concern about these frogs is related to their poisons. With their ominous sounding name, and the hype about their poisons, it’s no wonder there is a fair amount of confusion about their well being in general. First, and most importantly, poison dart frogs are completely non-toxic when captive bred. Even wild-caught frogs gradually lose their poisons in captivity. They need certain insects to help them create their poison and they can't get that in captivity so that's why they are not poisonous. Poison dart frogs are commonly bred in captivity. Captive-bred poison dart frogs are available from breeders, at pet stores and at reptile shows. The species that are most popular in the hobby are medium to larger size poison dart frogs. There also thumbnail poison dart frogs that are very small hence the name but they are difficult to take care of so you should try to keep a larger frog first before buying a small one. These frogs have a captivity life span of about twenty years. Poison dart frogs are small and have delicate skin, so they’re best treated as hands-off pets. Handling poison dart frogs briefly to move them or to cup them for shipping is fine. But handling them for more than a moment or two can definitely be dangerous to their health.
