Scientific Name: Uromastyx nigriventris
Common Name: Moroccan Uromastyx

📝 Description:
The Uromastyx nigriventris, commonly known as the Moroccan Uromastyx, is a robust, herbivorous lizard found in North Africa. Recognized for its spiny tail, which it uses as a defense mechanism, this species typically has a stocky body with colors ranging from brown and olive to vibrant blues and yellows, especially in males during the breeding season.

🏞️ Habitat:
In the wild, Uromastyx nigriventris inhabits rocky deserts and semi-arid regions of Morocco, where they hide in burrows to escape the extreme heat. They are adapted to hot, dry environments, making it essential for their enclosure in captivity to simulate this with plenty of rocks, crevices, and hides. They enjoy basking on warm rocks, and a deep substrate is necessary for digging and burrowing, which are natural behaviors for this species.

🌿 Diet:
Moroccan Uromastyx are primarily herbivorous, feeding on a wide variety of desert plants, leaves, and flowers. In captivity, they thrive on a diet of dark leafy greens (like dandelion, collard, and mustard greens), edible flowers, and occasional seeds. Avoid fruits, as they can lead to digestive issues.

🌡️ Environment:
The enclosure should have a temperature gradient to allow proper thermoregulation. The basking spot should reach around 110-120°F (43-49°C), with the cooler side of the enclosure around 85-90°F (29-32°C). At night, temperatures can drop to around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Moroccan Uromastyx also require low humidity, typically between 20-30%, as they are adapted to desert climates.

💧 Hydration:
Due to their desert origins, Moroccan Uromastyx get most of their water from their food, and they rarely need to drink. However, a shallow water dish can be provided occasionally, though it’s important to monitor humidity levels to ensure they stay low. A diet rich in fresh greens helps maintain proper hydration levels, eliminating the need for frequent water access.

Scientific Name: Rhacodactylus auriculatus
Common Name: Gargoyle Gecko

📝 Description:
The Rhacodactylus auriculatus, commonly known as the Gargoyle Gecko, is a medium-sized arboreal gecko native to New Caledonia. Its name comes from the bony protrusions on its head, resembling the grotesque figures found on gothic architecture. Gargoyle Geckos display a wide range of colors and patterns, including stripes, blotches, and marbling in shades of gray, red, orange, and brown. Known for their robust build and sticky toe pads, they are excellent climbers.

🏞️ Habitat:
In the wild, Gargoyle Geckos inhabit the forests of New Caledonia, where they live among trees and shrubs, primarily active at night. In captivity, they require a vertical enclosure to accommodate their arboreal lifestyle, with plenty of branches, cork bark, and foliage for climbing and hiding. A well-ventilated terrarium that mimics their natural forested habitat with moderate humidity and temperature is crucial for their well-being.

🍽️ Diet:
Gargoyle Geckos are omnivores, feeding on a varied diet of insects, fruit, and nectar in the wild. In captivity, they thrive on a balanced diet of commercial gecko food, supplemented with live insects like crickets, roaches, or small worms. Offering fresh fruit puree or a pre-made fruit mix also contributes to their nutritional needs. Insects should be gut-loaded and dusted with calcium and vitamins to ensure proper growth and health.

🌿 Environment:
To replicate their natural habitat, Gargoyle Geckos require a temperature range of 72-80°F (22-27°C), with a slight nighttime drop. Humidity levels should be maintained between 50-70%, with misting twice a day to support hydration and healthy shedding.

💧 Hydration:
While they may not often drink from a bowl, fresh water should always be available. Gargoyle Geckos typically get most of their hydration from misting and the moisture on leaves. Proper hydration is particularly important during shedding, so regular misting will help maintain healthy skin and prevent complications.

Scientific Name: Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli
Common Name: Campbell’s Milk Snake

📝 Description:
Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli, commonly known as Campbell’s Milk Snake, is a small to medium-sized snake that is highly sought after by reptile enthusiasts due to its striking coloration and calm temperament. Its body is adorned with vibrant red, black, and white or yellow bands, often mimicking the appearance of venomous coral snakes, a defense mechanism known as Batesian mimicry. Campbell’s Milk Snakes are non-venomous and generally docile, making them an excellent choice for captive care.

🏞️ Habitat:
In the wild, Campbell’s Milk Snakes are found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, forests, and rocky areas, often hiding under logs, rocks, or within crevices. They are native to Central America, particularly in Mexico, where they thrive in warm, humid environments. In captivity, they require a terrarium with plenty of hiding spots, substrate for burrowing, and a warm, controlled environment to replicate their natural habitat.

🐁Diet:
Like most milk snakes, Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli is a carnivore, primarily feeding on small mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles. In captivity, their diet typically consists of appropriately sized rodents such as mice. Feeding should be adjusted according to their size and age, with juveniles requiring more frequent feedings compared to adults.

🌿 Environment:
To keep Campbell’s Milk Snake healthy, their enclosure should maintain a temperature gradient, with a warm side ranging from 85-90°F (29-32°C) for basking and a cooler side around 75°F (24°C). They also need moderate humidity levels between 40-60%, with slightly higher humidity during shedding periods. A hide box on each side of the temperature gradient is essential to provide security.

💧 Hydration:
A shallow water dish should always be available for Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli to drink from and occasionally soak in, particularly during shedding. Regular misting of the enclosure can help maintain appropriate humidity, ensuring healthy skin and hydration.
