Abstract:

Herpetocultural practices are based on norms driven by economy of space and time for keepers, with little scientific inference backing their practice. In recent years, a subset of herpetoculturalists have promoted evidence-based husbandry that relies on science and experimental design to generate husbandry practice. A theoretical framework and protocol are proposed herein that enables any individual who has access to the internet the ability to use various outlets of natural history information (scientific literature databases, social media sources, and weather websites) and previously published husbandry reports as evidence to drive the creation of novel herpetocultural practice. A case study is provided which compares readily available information on the care of Hydrodynastes gigas (false water cobra), such as online care sheets for the species, with the proposed evidence based herpetocultural protocol founded on natural history information and published care and captive breeding reports. Results were assessed for protocol efficacy and determined that the natural history informed evidence-based approach increased animal welfare and generated new information specific to the natural history of H. gigas.

Abstract:

This work is dedicated to study of electromagnetic irradiation influence on peculiarities of its impact on linear features and mortality of European grass frog tadpoles. Among the effects observed the intensification of growth and mortality were detected according to the increasing of number of irradiation sessions. Also the presence of morphological abnormalities in post-metamorphic individuals was assessed. The experiment showed that electromagnetic irradiation did’t cause the mass occurrence of morphological anomalies. The preliminary results of the work show that this field of experiment is promising and further investigations should be conducted. The results of the experiment can be used in herpetoculture while creating of stable breeding stock of amphibians, development of nature conservation management-plans for objects of nature reserve fund as well as in studying of impact of electromagnetic field on living organisms in general.

Abstract:

This paper represents the results of a project on mass breeding of satanic leaf-tailed geckos (Uroplatus phantasticus Boulenger, 1888) in controlled laboratory conditions of BION Terrarium Center (Kyiv, Ukraine) in 2020. Given the growing popularity of U. phantasticus among hobbyists all over the world, it is important to develop a method of mass breeding of the species in conditions of herpetoculture. The work provides statistical data on the duration of gestation and incubation of eggs, obtained from a fairly large sample. The mean duration of gestation period for females (n = 119; exact counts of inter-clutch periods) was 34 days (min = 12, max = 64). The average duration of incubation was 94 days (min = 67, max = 130). The work also contains information on peculiarities of mating behavior, breeding ecology, copulation, percentage of infertile eggs and experience of maintaining a breeding stock with number of females exceeding that of males. Such information and its analysis are of particular scientific and practical value for the development of management plans for the conservation of the species, both in the wild and ex situ.

Abstract:

Abstract A part of the COI mitochondrial barcoding gene was sequenced from seven species of different taxonomical groups: Ambystoma mexicanum (Amphibia, Ambystomatidae), Darevskia lindholmi, Lacerta agilis exigua (Reptilia, Lacertidae), Erinaceus roumanicus (Mammalia, Erinaceidae), Macrobiotus sp. 1 and 2 (Eutardigrada, Macrobiotidae) and Cameraria ohridella (Insecta, Gracillariidae). The sequences were compared with available sequences from databases and positioned on phylogenetic trees when the taxa had not yet been sequenced. The presence of Mexican axolotls in herpetoculture in Ukraine was confirmed. The partial COI genes of the Crimean rock lizard and an eastern sub-species of the sand lizard were sequenced. We demonstrated the presence of two tardigrade mitochondrial lineages of the Macrobiotus hufelandi group in the same sample from the Zeya Natural Reserve in the Far East: one was nearly identical to the Italian M. macrocalix, and the other one is similar to M. persimilis and M. vladimiri. We also confirmed the presence of the invasive haplotype “A” of the horse chestnut leaf miner in Ukraine, in line with the hypothesized route of invasion from Central Europe.

Abstract:

Modern herpetoculture has seen a rise in welfare-related habitat modifications, although ethologically-informed enclosure design and evidence-based husbandry are lacking. The diversity that exists within snakes complicates standardizing snake welfare assessment tools and evaluation techniques. Utilizing behavioral indicators in conjunction with physiological measures, such as fecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations, could aid in the validation of evidence-based metrics for evaluating snake welfare. We increased habitat cleaning, to identify behavioral or physiological indicators that might indicate heightened arousal in snakes as a response to the disturbance. While glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations increased significantly during a period of increased disturbance, this increase was not associated with a significant increase in tongue-flicking, a behavior previously associated with arousal in snakes. Locomotion behavior and the proportion of time spent exposed were also not affected by more frequent habitat cleaning. These results demonstrate the need to further investigate the behavioral and physiological responses of snakes to different aspects of animal care at a species and individual level. They also highlight the need to collect baseline behavioral and physiological data for animals, in order to make meaningful comparisons when evaluating changes in animal care.

Abstract:

La tenencia de herpetofauna en cautiverio es una actividad que ha experimentado un enorme desarrollo en distintas partes del mundo, constituyéndose en la base de muchos programas de conservación, educación, e investigación. En Costa Rica, esta tendencia se evidencia en la proliferación de centros que mantienen reptiles y anfibios en las últimas dos décadas. Pese a este desarrollo, no hay disponible información centralizada sobre los herpetarios a nivel del país, por lo que se desconoce la forma como operan o los potenciales impactos que pudieran tener en la conservación de las especies mantenidas en ellos. En este trabajo se describen los centros que actualmente funcionan en el país, para lo cual se realizaron entrevistas a sus propietarios o regentes y visitas de conformación. Un total de 33 centros, que en conjunto albergan 144 especies, fueron encontrados. Este número de herpetarios resulta del desarrollo de la industria turística: la mayoría de ellos tienen como finalidad la exhibición de animales, aunque también algunos reportan fines educativos. Solo en cuatro centros se encontró clara evidencia de programas de investigación, pese a que la mayoría de herpetarios indicó la generación de conocimiento como uno de sus principales objetivos. Una proporción importante de establecimientos obtiene sus animales del medio, lo que supone un impacto en aquellas especies con poblaciones reducidas. Tal parece ser el caso de la matabuey Lachesis stenophrys, que se encontró en 66% de los centros, pese a ser una especie con poblaciones amenazadas en el país actualmente. La existencia de estos establecimientos demuestra el interés de nuestra sociedad por la tenencia de vida silvestre, y supone un interesante mosaico de experiencias, posibilidades y retos para la escena ambiental del país.

Abstract:

In herpetoculture, there is debate as to whether ultraviolet-B, UVB, lighting is required for providing adequate welfare for snakes in human care. Many believe this supplemental lighting is unnecessary and is not utilized by the snakes, stating that snakes survive and breed in its absence. Previous studies using pythons and corn snakes have demonstrated that offering UVB lighting appears to have a significant effect on their physiology. These studies focused on the increase of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 concentrations in the blood after UVB exposure. In the present study, false water cobras, Hydrodynastes gigas, were chosen because they are active, diurnal snakes and are therefore more likely to seek out UVB in the wild in comparison with other fossorial snakes. The level of UVB that will be provided is based on the tropical climate of the range for H. gigas. Twelve hatchling H. gigas will be divided into two groups with Arcadia T5 14% UVB lights provided for one group and LED lights provided for the other. The behavior of the snakes will be monitored through video recording to determine the effects of UVB lighting on basking behavior and total time exposed to the UVB lighting. To identify physiological effects, radiographs will be taken to determine any change in bone density. This study aims to find if offering UVB lighting promotes basking behavior and affects bone density in H. gigas. The results of this study can be used to further increase welfare standards for snakes in captivity.
