As advertised, snakebite is not pretty! Wh:i.le legi tj_mate snakebite is not a problem in Minnesota, it ~_s somethtng we need to be informed about. Thanks to Dan for another great job!

New Book The J\1:Lnnesota Nongame Wildlife Progrml1 aru101.llCeS pUblicat:Lon of a new booklet that should be of interest to biologlsts and enVirODtllental educators throughout the state. Entitled. FIEID HERPETOIDGY: MEYthods for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles in Minnesota, the booklet's productj_on and publication was cosponsored by the Bell Museum of Natura~ History at the University of Minnesota.

The author, Daryl Karns, is an excellent herpetologist wi th extens~Lve fj.eld experience rang1ng from the expansive patterned peatland.s of north-central Minnesota to the strea~m.ssected valleys of southeastern Minnesota. An imaginative writer, Dr. Karns has prepared a comprehensive and practical j.ntroductj.on to the f1eld stud,y of reptiles and amphibians. It is not a technical reference strictly for the professional biologist or herpetologist but is, :Lnstead, a general guide for anyone, layman and professional alj_ke, who has an interest in knowing more about Minnesota's snakes, frogs, turtles and lizards.

Four ma~jor chapters addr~ss a vartety of topics, including how to successfully find and observe reptiles and amphibians, how to properly design a field survey and how to develop and mainta:Ln study collecti.ons for education and scj_entific research. Pract:Lcal suggestions on "muddling" for turtles, car-cruis~tng for salarnanders, or "noosing" for snakes are all dJ~scussed as are fj.eld considerations in desj.gning a breeding call survey for frogs or constructJiJYlgrl<frtff,t fences to capture sna.~es and l:Lzards. Science teachers, naturalists, environmental educators, wildlife bi.ologists and natura~ h5.story buffs should a~l find the guide helpful and informattve.

Ei.ghty-eight pages in length, copies of the puh11cation may be ordered for $6.36 each (including trud from the Blue Heron Bookstore, Bell Museum, Univers1. ty of Minnesota, 10 Church St. S .E., Mi.nneapolis; ~1l\1 55455 (612-624-ln 71) .

Please include $1.00 for postage and handling.

Raffle The raffle at the January meeting was another good one. We took in a total of $43 . 00! There were some nice prizes. Fran Frisch won a print of a Mojave Rattlesnake, Bob Duerr won one of Fran's Gila Monster sweat shirts (donated lb;Vi Frcani)l~ and Gabe Gerholdt won a Red-Eyed Tree Frog Pin (donated by Joe and Gail FiShbein). Thanks to all who bought tickets, and especially to Fran and Joe and Gail.

******************************************************************************* Help A Hapless Herp We had several hapless herps at the January meeting, and they all found happy homes, except one. We still need a home for a Banded Basilisk (male). Finding homes were a real nice young Common Boa and 2 female Reeve's Turtles. PlEASE NOTE: The deadline for turning in adoption forms from now on will be the BEGINNING of the break time. We will have a person designated for this. If you don't turn it in then, you will not be considered. Remember, forms are handed out during the first part of the meeting!

BASIC CARE OF

Il::jUANAl:S

IN

IVITV'

This is a,general care of i recommendations have worked well for us at Twin are ~eant onl~ as o~r ions and not as a Bol

i les, but authority.

Green iguanas range as far north as southern Mexito on down to South America and are faund in various of habitats, primarily jungle and fore5t~ but accasionally in open arrid ar sandy type habitat (for example, beaches)Q ~nd

Longevity in captivity may exceed 15 years The average is ly closer to 10 years in captivity. Age is difficult to determine in wild-caught iguanas.

00

It is difficult t6 distinguish these" of a green iguana until it is y mature (appro}c i matel y 2 feet or in 1 )" Male~ ly have larger dorsal crests, larger dewlaps, larger heads and more massive builds than f Females are usually more drab looking than males, lacki ion. Color is extremely variable ing on geographical r Those coming from Surinam and Guyana seem to be a green with a lot mo~e shading of blues, andlor yellows. Calor f ly with age also. se}~uall

is variable from one green iguana to other. Some can be extremely ve while can be very docile. ly, the more time spent handlin9 the animal the better it's di becomes. Males ~an become extremely ve and itorial breeding season (May th~ough ). beware of the an iguana can inflict. They can 'bite, SCI'" whip with their tails'" It is that their nails to accidental or intentional cuts and sa ri your iguana ..

We feed primarily Purina Monkey Chow, soaked rabbit lets, fresh fruits and les, three times a week. Green iguanas are primarily ians, but'will 'also same meat whole animal matter. 'The'wider the variety you can gi them, Below is a l i 'of some the foods th.ey coul d be fed Thi s i s not complete, but should give you a idea of the'vari foods that can be offered: <I

Leafy greens (romaine dandelions-flowers ~ greens), Rabbit pell

leaf lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, kale, , carrot ., radish , f a l f a , tu .... nip (soaked), P~rina monkey chow (soaked), Purina

trout chow (sdaked), Dog Dr cat food <soaked dry food Dr canned food), Fresh killed or thawed whole mice, Lean strips of beef or chicken or organ meat, Ch'eese (cottage or shredded hard)., Fruits (fresh or canned), Insects (crickets, waxworms, mealworms, grasshoppers), Vegetable~-fresh,thawed or canned (tomatoes, squash, corn, peas, bet:~ns., carr'ot s, brocol i, caul if lower., anyth i ng humans can e,at) , Sprouts (Alfalfa, bean), Melons They seem particularly attracted to foods that are bright in color (strawbef"ri'es, melons, tomatrJes, carrots, etc .. ) or leafy greens,so if you should have a reluctant feeder, try some of these foods..

Also, small .iguanas will feed better ·if the food dish is placed and anchored to a branch.

M~ny shy animals will be reluctant to abandon the security of the trees even to feedw (If you should have to force feed your iguana, i t is best to use strained baby foods in a plastic syringe).

Iguanas need high amounts of calcium.

We use shaved cuttlebone sprinkled on the food~ Also a powered vitaminl Reptovite. is available.

Vitamin D3 consumed by the iguana in food is normally not II act:i. vated" • Bef ol'-e Vi tami n D3 can be used by the liz ard, i t must be activ.ted by ultra violet light.

Therefore~ either direct sunlight (not filtered 'through glass or plastic) or artificial ultra viQlet light must be provided.

We recommend Vita-Lite, a fluorescent tube, which is a full spectrum lighting that many zoos use.

Iguanas should be kept at an overall ature of approxim~tely 80 degrees F with a basking spot up in the 90's.

Small iguanas especially seem to do well in of 85 to 90 degrees F. The humidity of the cage should be fairly high for gr'een iguanas.

Therefore, a fairly large diameter water dish should be placed in the cage.

For small iguanas, p a rock in the dish to allciw f6~ easy access Al so, bab i es shoul d be spr wi th a wa·ter mi ster a coup Ie of times a week to increase h~midity~ proper _hedding and to prevent dehydration ..

IS

Iguanas do not need a great deal of floor space but the floor space should be at least as wide as the lizard is long~ Green iguanas are almost entirely atboreal, ing most of their time up in trees.· Therefore, lots of branches should be provided.

"Critter of the Month" The "critter" for the January meeting was your least favorite herp, the one you dislike the most~ While we didn't have a lot, we did have som@ surprises.

The "critters" were: Banded Basilisk (Basiliscus vittatus) Eastern Hognose Snake (Heterodon platyrhinos) - 2 different ones Grey Banded Kingsnake (Lampropeltis mexicana alterna) Sonoran Gopher Snake (Pi tuophis melanoleucus affinis) hetero These were brought by: Kate Anderson Jim Gerholdt Nancy Haig John Meltzer rrom Schmitz Thanks to all of the above from IV1HS!

******************************************************************************* Herp Hints Bruce Delles armounced that the book, "Turtles, Tortoises~and Terrapims" by Obst is alreaqy out-of-print. Ted Schave mentioned that he had a large cage of approximately 200 gallon size that is shared by Green Iguanas and Marine Toads. All is well, but the toads are eating Trout Chow! Kate Anderson and Pam Gerholdt both agreed that these toads will eat literally anything, including dog food.

******************************************************************************* Refreshments The refreshments at the January meeting were supplied by none other than Becky Helgeson. And of course they were good, and enjoyed by all. 'Il:l,tllnks to Becky!

If any of you want to bring goodies, Helen Schave is the one to talk to ..
