Amphibian Care Sheets
Amphibians are great display animals. They are particularly well suited to living in naturalistic vivaria with live plants and flowing water. Although there are few species available as domestically bred stock, the list is slowing growing. Note: Amphibians are not animals that should be handled regularly. The nature of an amphibian's skin is such that toxins can easily pass through the skin into the animals blood stream. If an amphibian is handled by someone with insect repellant, hand lotion, perfume, or even mild soap on their hands, the animal may die from exposure to hazardous chemicals. Amphibians also generally prefer cooler temperatures. Heat from our hands can make these them quite uncomfortable.
