🦎 Species Spotlight: Indonesian Frilled Dragon
Clamidosaurus kingii

If you’re into unique display species, the Indonesian Frilled Dragon might just be your next obsession.
Native to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, these arboreal lizards are famous for their dramatic neck frill, used to intimidate predators or assert dominance. While commonly associated with Australia, the Indonesian locality tends to be more tropical, requiring higher humidity and slightly different care.

🔧 Husbandry Basics for Keepers:
• Enclosure Size: Minimum 4’ tall for adults; vertical space is essential
• Temps:
Basking spot: 35-38c
Ambient: 27–30°C
Night drop: Down to 22–24°C
• Humidity: 60–80% — daily misting + bioactive or moisture-retentive substrate recommended
• Lighting: Strong UVB (10.0 or equivalent) + full-spectrum daylight
• Diet: Gut-loaded insects (crickets, dubia, silkworms); occasional vertebrate prey for adults. Supplement with calcium/D3 and multivitamins
• Temperament: Skittish, but will tame down with regular handling!
• Behavior: Arboreal, fast-moving, and capable of bipedal bursts when alarmed
🪴 Pro Tips:
• Provide plenty of vertical climbing space with branches and cork flats
• Use visual barriers to reduce stress
• Allow for seasonal cycling if attempting breeding
• Indonesian frilleds often benefit from a slightly more humid, densely planted setup than their Australian counterparts

This species is best for intermediate to experienced keepers who can meet their specific environmental needs and respect their space.

NEW ARRIVAL & Species Spotlight: Amazon Tree Boa 🐍🌿
(Corallus hortulanus)

🟢 Wild Beauty of the Amazon
Known for their vivid colors and irritable attitude, Amazon Tree Boas are one of the most visually diverse snakes on Earth. Found throughout the rainforests of South America, these arboreal predators are true masters of camouflage and ambush hunting.

✨ Fun Facts
🔸 Can be yellow, orange, red, gray, or nearly black. Sometimes in the same clutch!
🔸 Nocturnal hunters that rely on heat sensing pits to track prey in the dark
🔸 Non-venomous but quick to strike. Look, don’t touch!
🔸 Can grow 5–7 feet long but remain slender and agile

🧠 Behaviour
Amazon Tree Boas are solitary and can be defensive when handled. They’re primarily arboreal, spending much of their lives coiled on branches, waiting to ambush birds, lizards, and small mammals. Their cryptic coloration helps them stay hidden while hunting.

🏡 Enclosure Needs
📏 Size: 90cm x 45cm x 90cm or larger for adults (vertical space is key!)
🌡️ Temps: 30°c Basking, 20°c - 25°c Ambient.
💧 Humidity: 60–80% regular misting is essential
🌿 Décor: Plenty of perches, branches, and foliage for climbing and cover
🌙 Lighting: UVB optional but beneficial; a day-night cycle helps regulate activity

⚠️ Not for beginners! These snakes are best admired for their beauty and natural behaviors, rather than frequent handling.

Name suggestions welcome! 🤗
