    Extractions: Respiratory System Lungs, skin, and sometimes gills Description Amphibians can get oxygen into their bodies in three different ways. The first way is by using lungs , which are similar to ours. The second way is through their skin , and the last way is by using gills Amphibians, like reptiles, are cold blooded , so they don't use up any energy by keeping their bodies at a constant temperature. This means their cells aren't working as hard as warm blooded animals like us, and they don't need as much oxygen. Because of this, amphibians don't breathe constantly like humans do. Instead, they just breathe now and then, when their body needs more oxygen. Amphibian lungs are a bit different from our lungs. Our lungs are spongy, and full of tiny little sacs called alveoli . These alveoli increase the amount of surface that oxygen can enter our bodies through. Since amphibians don't need as much oxygen as humans, they don't have as many alveoli, either! In fact, many amphibians have lungs that are just two hollow sacs! The way amphibians use their lungs is different from humans, too. Humans have a

    Extractions: Herper.com Blog Frogs and Toads Salamanders The most familiar caecilians are the "rubber eels," or aquatic caecilians that used to be available from aquarium shops. Terrestrial caecilians are only occasionally available to hobbyists. I've kept the Mexican Dermophis , and have seen a few African and Indonesian species available. Many have specialized diets (termite larvae, etc.), so some care must be taken not to acquire species that are not suitable for captive husbandry.

    Extractions: Amphibians Amphibians were the first vertebrates to leave the water to live on land. This occurred about 360 million years ago. Over the next 125 million years, amphibians faced little competition from other vertebrates and evolved into as many as 15 major groups. With the coming of reptiles, and then birds and mammals, the amphibian groups declined to the three of today - 1) frogs and toads, 2) salamanders, and 3) caecilians (a group of worm-like creatures that live in the tropics). Amphibians had to adapt to a life on land as compared to living in the water. Without the buoyancy of the water, their legs had to adapt to not just move the body but also to support it. The gills used for breathing underwater were replaced by lungs and moist skin. The skin had to change to be able to minimize the loss of water through evaporation. Their adaptations have not been entirely successful as most amphibians must return to water to breed. Those that don't still need at least a moist environment in which to lay their eggs. As its name implies, an amphibian is amphibious living both ("amphi") modes of life ("bios"), part of the time on land and part of the time in the water. Since their mucous-covered skin still loses a lot of water, most amphibians must live in either a moist habitat (in a wetland or underground) or have a nocturnal lifestyle. Amphibians are uncommon in deserts and in marine environments (due to the dessicating effects of the water's high salt concentrations).

    Extractions: Welcome to the Greater Cincinnati Herpetological Society The Greater Cincinnati Herpetological Society (GCHS) is an organization committed to increasing the understanding of reptiles and amphibians. The most effective way to ensure their welfare is by educating the public and ourselves on all aspects pertaining to the field of herpetology. The GCHS was formed in 1977 by a few herpetology enthusiasts in the tri-state area and has grown significantly since then. Recently, the GCHS has drastically increased it's local conservation efforts. Unique animals such as the Kirtland's Snake, Clonophis kirtlandii , the Cave Salamander, Eurycea lucifuga , and the Marbled Salamander, Ambystoma opacum call Hamilton County and the surrounding areas home. It is the goal of the GCHS to protect the native fauna of the area and presearve these habitats and animals for generations to come. Please take a moment to look at the conservation section and hear about some of the wonderful projects currently taking place. The GCHS is also extremely committed to education opportunities in the community. This is one of the most vital aspects of the organization and the effects these programs have on all aspects of herpetology are impossible to measure. There are many programs each month throughout the year and hundreds of children and families have an increased understanding of these animals as a result.

    Extractions: The Nova Scotia Herpetoculture Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating its members and the public on matters concerning reptiles and amphibians in captivity and in the wild. We do not encourage or discourage people from keeping these animals in captivity, but we do recognize that many people are fascinated by reptiles and amphibians and are interested in keeping and breeding them. Our main objective is to provide the best information available to improve the quality of care of reptiles and amphibians in captivity. We are also in support of captive-breeding efforts which has made wild collection of some species obsolete. We can sometimes find homes for lost or abandoned animals . We also have care sheets available for many common species.
