Even heavily fossorial nocturnal species such as the Rain Frog utilize UVA and UVB when it suits them. This Rain Frog came up when the lights went out in the room to enjoy the last rays of the SurSun First Call UVA/UVB LED light for the day. She was under the light for approximately 2 hours.

This is important to understand, especially with the weather changing in much of the country. There is still a lot of misinformation about venomous snakes.

A simple rules for safe outdoor experiences include:
🌳Stay on paths.

📚Research what species may be in the area you are visiting including what the juveniles/babies look like and if they are often confused for other species.

🙋‍♀️Take someone experienced with you. It’s more fun too!

🩴 Wear appropriate footwear (leave the cute strappy sandals for the picnics).

☀️ Wear sunscreen! This has nothing to do with venomous snakes, just you know, be smart, skin protection is important!

What happens if you see a venomous snake?
Leave it be! Give it a wide berth to decide which way it wants to go and go the opposite, it won’t chase you no matter what your neighbor’s cousin’s uncle once told them.

What should I do if I hear the rattle?!
Take a breath, this sound will kick start most people’s heart whether it’s out of excitement, surprise, or fear. It isn’t like the movies. A rattle sound doesn’t mean impending doom. Quite the opposite, often it means “please don’t step on me” or rather “you are in my space”. If you cannot see where the snake is, don’t continue forward. Easy peasy. If you can, give the snake a wide berth and continue on.

As always, safety is paramount and if you are not sure, seek guidance from an experienced h**per in your area. Local h**petological societies are wonderful for this!

It's hard to own exotic animals during the best of times, but when you are unsure how legislation is going to impact your animal care it can be nerve wracking! The "Halogen Ban" was put into action in May 2022 and does impact reptile and exotic pet care but it doesn't prevent us from finding the products we need to care for our animals.
