FrogWeb This Web site, an inter-agency initiative amongst federal, state, and non-profit agencies, and the education and conservation communities, provides comprehensive information about amphibians for both scientists and the general public. Keep abreast of the latest information about amphibian declines and deformities, volunteer your class for various amphibian monitoring activities, and check out the "Educational Resources" and "FrogFun for Kids" areas for a variety of classroom projects and activities. Turtle Trax Although this non-profit organization's site does not contain lesson plans, it does offer teachers plenty of endearing biographies and color photos of specific turtles who have lived in the Honokowai Marine Preserve in Hawai'i, an overview of threats to marine turtles, and actions that everyday citizens can take to help preserve them.

Collaborative Thematic Unit Theme: Reptiles and Amphibians by Mike Seagle and John Geanangel Grade Level Upper Primary (2nd and 3rd) The theme of this unit, "Reptiles and Amphibians," is especially appropriate for children of this level because they are fascinated with animals and are often highly motivated to explore their immediate environment. Focus: The overall purpose of this interdisciplinary, thematic unit of study is to help students learn more about the distinct characteristics of reptiles and amphibians, including an emphasis on the metamorphosis and development of amphibians. The students will accomplish this through becoming involved in a number of interdisciplinary lessons and activities. The length of this unit can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the classroom. The students will have experiences in caring for animals, and they will have opportunities to express themselves through creative work in art, writing, music, and movement activities. General Objectives On completion of this unit, the students will:

Reticulated python may be largest snake in the world Source: John Aglionby Guardian December 30 2003 p3 Officials from Curugsewu zoo, Indonesia, claim to have a reticulated python that is 14.85 metres, or 49 feet long, which would mean that this is the largest snake ever captured. The snake was found in Sumatra in 2002, and was reportedly four metres longer, but part of the snake was cut off because it contained undigested food, a rotting deer. The snake is fed on three or four dogs per month. Reticulated pythons have been known to attack humans, but generally prefer other food. RE,BC

19. The Ball Python (Python Regius) - HerpStation - Reptiles, Amphibians, Herps, Her general information and care sheet written by the editorial staff of reptiles amphibians Magazine. http://www.petstation.com/ballpyth.htm

- SPECIES SHOWCASE - The Ball Python (Python regius) The Ball Python is one of the most popular "pet shop" snakes, and frequently can be found even in stores which only sell a handful of herps. In the past, most "Royal" Pythons found in such pet shops were imported adults, and these did not always make the best pets. Imported specimens are frequently infested with parasites (one tell-tale sign of an imported python is small, brown, ticks embedded in the snake's scales), and often do not feed well in captivity. However, over the past few years a number of herpetoculturists have started to seriously work with this species, and captive-born and captive-bred juveniles are easy to find. These acclimate to captivity within a short period of time, and are highly recommended snakes for beginners. NATIVE RANGE: western Africa, especially in the rain forests from Ghana to Cameroon HABITAT: savannahs and forests ADULT LENGTH: four to six feet, this is a stout, full-bodied snake TEMPERATURE: Ball Pythons need an undertank heater or basking spot near the hide box (but not right over it), and the cage temperature should stay at 77-90F during the day. You can turn off the basking light and drop the temperature to 68-75F at night. These animals are active at night, so no special lighting is required.

Advice on Animals Reptiles and amphibians: Snakes and Lizards See also: Reptiles and amphibians: Tortoises, terrapins and turtles Reptiles and amphibians: Amphibians Books on Animals: Snakes Books on animals: Lizards You need a Dangerous Wild Animals licence to keep some reptiles in Britain. Snakes and lizards are becoming increasingly popular as pets, and they are fascinating creatures. You can set up a rocky background, and imagine your lizard as a dinosaur, in a prehistoric setting. There's romance about a reptile, but you also need to be practical. These are generally high-maintenance, long-lived creatures. The equipment you need to house them and keep them at the right temperature can cost a lot and take up a lot of space. Large reptiles can defecate copiously and messily, and need a lot of cleaning. You need to have a special fascination for reptiles before buying one, enough of an obsession to put in the effort needed to keep them healthy. You'll also need to have reliable friends, neighbours or family members who'll help take care of your herps while you're on holiday. Some snakes and lizards are easier than others, so if we haven't put you off yet, try starting off with the smaller and more placid types, like bearded lizards, and some of the chameleons and geckos. Green iguanas are handsome creatures, but they can grow up to six feet long, and be aggressive. And beware of being seduced by a Burmese python - it can grow up to 20 feet long!
