PLEASE NOTE
​

The information on the BambooZoo site is as much as 10 years old and in the hobby much has been learned.   Though, I believe there is merit in keeping the site open.  There are many controversial issues presented in these pages.  Please view BambooZoo as a starting point in your research.

​   These beings are as complicated as we are and deserve more than a basic 5 paragraph care sheet to maintain their health and well being.  

My passion has changed.  This is where I am today.

THE 70 GALLON TALL


 Bamboozoo

You will notice that many of my buddies are a little on the hefty side.  This is one of the downfalls of keeping mixed species together.  I keep everyone well fed.

The Cuban Anole was an adult when purchased.  Likely wild caught so I am not sure of his age.  I really was under the impression that he was only half grown as he is about 6 inches in body length.  Cubans are known for eating other lizards and I can see why...they have a mouth that opens like that of a crocodile.   So far, we have been very lucky and haven't lost anyone to that mouth.  I do mean very lucky.  As one day I made him drop a green anole!  OH!  New house for him immediately.

A little Rainbow Skink.  These little guys are so full of energy.  Brave as can be.  Hardy.  Not handlable.  If I have to catch one of these guys, I am having to tear apart from top to bottom and including sifting substrate as they bury themselves in it to avoid me.    If you are looking for a display reptile to house in a natural setting, seriously consider one of these. 

4 in 1 ~  Front right foreground is a male Swift.  Following the same branch is the Skink.....along to the end of the branch on the large leaf is a female Day Gecko and to the right is the female Emerald Swift.  I recently lost the male Swift.  He came here in October of last year, was here for 8 months, wild caught I believe as he came to me from a commercial seller.  I thought he had settled well, I saw no symptoms of disease prior to his passing.

My tiny brown anole is approximately 3.5 years of age, I have to say that he is not doing well lately, the past 6 weeks or so and I am not sure I will have him much longer.  Anoles can live up to 5 or 6 years but he was grown when I got him.   Although, I tried to provide remedies, this little guy passed a couple of days ago.  RIP

My female emerald swift.  Also an adult when she arrived here through a commercial source.  She has been with us for between 2 and 3 years.  Unfortunately, we lost her in the spring.  Literally lost her.

The Giant Day Gecko in here is a small female.  My female Day's have a lot of trouble with sheds and it doesn't seem to matter how high the humidity is kept.  I do not keep any of the 3 Giant Days together.  These little ones can be quite viscious to each other, if not a bonded pair.  The male who is twice the size was getting quite beat up....though, very cautious at first and not liking really active cage mates given a little time they will settle in well.  During the acclamation period I watch to ensure they are getting enough to eat and have safe places close to the heat sources.
