<description><![CDATA[Green anoles are the most commonly seen of the anole lizards in captivity.  They are regularly exported from Florida and surrounding states.  They are cheap to buy, but contradictory to popular belief are actually not ideal for a beginner.  Green anole lizards are temperamental to their surroundings, and require the correct temperature, humidity and surroundings to remain healthy.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The first and foremost ingredient to choosing the right snake is the health of the animal.  Once that is out the way, a number of other elements come into the equation.  Species, age, temperament, colour, pattern, sex, feeding habits and price are all points to think about when looking for a snake.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The first method is to visually see a difference in tail size and structure.  Males have two hemipenes which are stored next to each other at the base of the tail.  Each hemipene is tucked into its own "pocket".  The effect of this is quite simple, it makes the tail appear fatter for a longer distance, generally making the overall tail length longer also. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The first rush of crocodile hunters began in 1945.  It is estimated in their first year alone, they killed around 80,000 crocodiles in the Northern Territory.

<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, many snake keepers do not actually think about their snakes' psychological issues.  It is well known within the hobby that a vast number of snake species are fairly 'lazy' creatures, perhaps only venturing out of their hide for food, water, or a mate.  This is a true statement for many species, and this habit will most certainly be the same in the wild as well as in captivity.]]></description>

<title>General Care and Maintenance of Sand Boas (Eryx &amp; Gongylophis)</title>
<link>http://EzineArticles.com/235664</link>
<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/235664</guid>
<pubDate>Mon, 03 Jul 2006 14:31:39 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Sand boas of the genera Eryx and Gongylophis have long had an undeserved reputation of being boring pets.  Most first-time snake buyers end up deciding on a colourful corn snake, kingsnake, or other small, easy-to-keep colubrid.  Fact is, most species of sand boas are also simple to care for, and because they are smaller and slower moving, are also easier to handle -- so they are good for beginners.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some people may wonder: of the thousands of snake species that exist in the world, why choose sand boas?  Well, I sometimes wonder myself, but I do have a few good reasons.  There are several species, subspecies, and varieties of sand boas, each with its own characteristics and "personality."  They are small, easy to care for, and relatively simple to breed.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The northern territory is well known for being 'the real bush'.  There are approximately 300 species of reptile, and 50 species of amphibian in the Northern Territory.  Slightly more diverse one might say, than the UK's species count of only 6 reptiles and 6 amphibians! I spent the entire year of 2005 travelling around Australia.  I went to every State, every major city, drove across the longest straight road in the world, twice, and travelled the complete circumference of this beautiful country.]]></description>

<pubDate>Fri, 30 Jun 2006 13:22:58 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Boa constrictors have always been a popular pet snake.  Similar to Burmese Pythons in that they are considered a 'friendly giant' of the snake world.  Luckily though, they do not quite reach the size of Burmese Pythons.  Boa constrictors usually average 7-9feet in length, females being the larger of the sizes.  They have been known however to reach 14feet in length, a formidable force for such a large bodied snake. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Corn snakes have become the most extensively produced snake in captivity, and for good reason.

<description><![CDATA[Viper Boas are a wonderful species of snake to look at.  They are very robust, with tough 'keeled' scales and an arrow like head.  They are usually a fairly dull brown, although can be a wonderful bright red or orange.  They do however, change colour with seasons, temperature and perhaps mood changes.]]></description>

Occasionally the snake will refuse to feed and it may be tricky to get going again.  There are all sorts of feeding hints and tips; however there is always a reason why a snake is not eating.
