What You Should Know About Keeping Reptiles as Pets Diseases People Can Get from Reptiles and/or Amphibians Caring for Lizards Caring for Snakes Information from CDC An estimated 3% of households in the United States own at least one reptile. Reptiles, including turtles, lizards, and snakes, can carry germs that make people sick. Of greatest importance is salmonellosis. An estimated 70,000 people get salmonellosis from contact with reptiles in the United States each year. This chart, from "Reptile-Associated Salmonellosis — Selected States, 1996–1998" ( http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4844a1.htm ) shows how the problem has grown in recent years as the popularity of reptiles as pets has increased. From Reptile-Associated Salmonellosis — Selected States, 1998–2002 "Salmonellosis associated with reptiles is a continuing public health concern. During the 1970s, small pet turtles were a major source of Salmonella infections in the United States. In 1975, the Food and Drug Administration banned commercial distribution of small (i.e., <4 in. long) turtles; the majority of states prohibited the sale of such turtles. These measures prevented an estimated 100,000 cases of salmonellosis among children each year. However, reptiles remain popular pets in the United States; during 1991–2001, the estimated number of households with reptiles doubled from approximately 850,000 to 1.7 million. The increase in pet reptile popularity has been paralleled by an increase in the number of reptile-related Salmonella serotypes isolated from humans.

Both the babies and the adults breathe through lungs. They have a breastbone called a sternum to protect the heart and lungs. The female's eggs are fertilized in her body by the male. The eggs are laid in a shell that has a leathery covering to protect it in the wilds. The common reptiles are snakes, turtles, lizards alligators and crocodiles.

Reptiles There are 79 species of reptiles and amphibians in New Jersey including these turtles and snakes. Although often found near water, many reptiles are adapted to life on dry land. They have lungs and their skin is covered with scales or plates. Most reptiles lay large leathery eggs in concealed nests. Unlike amphibians, young reptiles resemble their parents from birth and do not undergo a separate larval stage. Reptiles are cold-blooded, therefore they are inactive during winter. TIMBER RATTLESNAKE- ( crotalus h. horidus ) The timber rattlesnake is one of New Jersey's most endangered species. They are very shy and hard to see, find, and monitor. They prefer rocky, mountainous areas and the uplands near them in the northern part of the state. When found in the southern half, they occur near cedar swamps and nearby areas. The females can only have babies when the are about 9 years old and only have babies once or twice in their entire lifetime. The Timber Rattlesnake is a top predator in the eastern North America but is found nowhere else in the world. Along with bats, it is a misunderstood species. People often believe they are a serious threat to people, pets and livestock. Stories and myths teach fear of snakes. Across the U.S. they are still harassed and killed out of fear and ignorance, and by commercial hunters, who sell body parts for leather, meat and trinkets. People will destroy their homes to get rid of them, unaware that they are disrupting the ecosystem and that the snake plays an important role in rodent control.

They are believed to have evolved from amphibians and have developed several adaptations for life out of water. Reptiles range in size from the green anole (5 to 8 inches) to the crocodile (23 feet). Reptiles can also live in habitats ranging from swamps to deserts . This great diversity among reptiles is one of the reasons they have managed to survive. One major characteristic of reptiles is the presence of scales composed of a protein called keratin. These scales form a waterproof barrier of skin, which allows reptiles to exist away from water without the threat of dehydration. Another characteristic is the regulation of internal body temperature by the external absorption of heat. Thus, reptiles are ectothermic. Unlike endothermic creatures, which must use calories from food to regulate body temperature, reptiles don't require much food to maintain body temperature and survive. Reproductively, they can lay eggs on land due to the development of a protective shell around the egg. However, these eggs must be

36. Reptiles Notes on coldbloodedness, respiration, the skin, the egg, fertilization, the heart and the kidney of reptiles. http://www.webspawner.com/users/petcentralreptiles/

Reptiles NAVIGATOR Home Reptiles Mammals Amphibians ... Birds These and other traditional defining characteristics of reptiles have been subjected to considerable modification in recent times. The extinct flying reptiles, called pterosaurs, are now thought to have been warm-blooded and covered with hair; and the dinosaurs are also now considered by many authorities to have been warm-blooded. The earliest known bird, Archaeopteryx, is now regarded by many to have been a small dinosaur, despite its covering of feathers; and the extinct ancestors of the mammals, the therapsids, or mammallike reptiles, are also believed to have been warm-blooded and haired. Proposals have been made to reclassify the pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and certain other groups out of the class Reptilia into one or more classes of their own, and these issues are now receiving a great deal of attention from paleontologists and zoologists. Cold-bloodedness Respiration All reptiles possess lungs, and none passes through an aquatic larval stage with gills, as do many of the amphibians. In snakes, presumably as an adaptation to their long, thin bodies, the left lung is reduced in size or entirely lacking. Although lungs are the primary means of respiration in all reptiles and the only means of respiration in most reptiles, a number of species are also able to utilize other parts of the body for the absorption of oxygen and the elimination of carbon dioxide. In aquatic turtles, for example, the tissues (mucous membranes) lining the insides of the mouth are capable of extracting oxygen from the water; some file snakes, family Acrochordidae, and sea snakes, family Hydrophiidae, as well as the soft-shelled turtle, Trionyx, can use their skin for respiration when submerged.

Park West Galleries var site="s12reptiles" Welcome to Reptilecare.com Formerly Reptiles Among Other Things This site is dedicated to getting the word out on how to properly care for several species of reptiles in captivity. Many reptiles are obtained by people with little or no knowledge of how they should be kept. Unfortunately many pet stores also give out faulty information when selling these animals. There are even some vets out there giving out faulty or incomplete information. Pugsley (feeling particularly patriotic over there on the right) came to us in the spring of 1994. His owner made us promise to feed him canned cat food. This is just the sort of misinformation we are trying to dispel.
