Reptiles: Items for Care Animal Science Level 1
Objectives Learn proper reptile care Identify items needed to provide proper reptile environments
Warm-Up What does this animal need to survive?
Essential Questions What characteristic of reptiles influences their required environment?
Care: Areas of Focus Environment Food Water Illness Prevention Handling
Environment : Tropical Glass Tank (based on size of animal) Water proof because of high humidity Screen Lid for ventilation Substrate: Stones on bottom for drainage On top: moss, reptile bark, coconut husks or soil mixture MUST HOLD MOISTURE Basking sight (rock) Plants (live or fake) UVB or Florescent Lighting
Environment: Desert Glass Tank Screen lid for ventilation Substrate: Sand (be careful with feeding!) Newspaper Want to not hold moisture Basking sight UVB or Florescent lighting
Bearded Dragon Enclosure Set Up http://www.articlesbase.com/videos/5min/145449932
Environment: Turtles Glass Tank Screen lid for ventilation Water Treated for chlorine Heated (low heating requirements) FILTER Clean regularly Basking sight Plants (Live or Fake) UVB or Florescent lighting
Food Insectivores Crickets (live or dead) Worms (mealworms, wax worms, butter worms, Coat in Calcium dust (available at pet stores) Herbivores Dark leafy greens (WASHED) Fruit (without skins) Some calcium dust provided Carnivores Mice (live or frozen)
Water ALWAYS AVAILABLE! Bowls Easy to clean Keep free of mold Large water bowl Many reptiles shed They require full immersion in water for periods of time Water bowl must be able to fit the animal
Illness Prevention Keep water bowls clean Appropriate levels of humidity, and temperature to prevent to much mold growth Wash hands before and after handling Salmonella Proper Diet
Vocabulary: • Substrate: bedding for reptiles, based on environmental needs of pet • Furnishing: tank accessories, rocks, branches, live or fake • Basking : sitting to gather sun: regulated temperature, required for Vitamin D • UVB Lighting: artificial lighting to mimic the sun. Some provide both UV and UVB rays as well as heat

Reptiles: Gross Anatomy Animal Science Level 1
Objectives Identify gross anatomy, and internal anatomy of common reptiles and amphibians
Warm Up How are these animals suited for their environment?
Essential Question How does environment influence anatomy in reptiles and amphibians?
Turtle External Anatomy Eye Central Shield Lateral Shield
Snake: Movement Represent these in your notes
Activities • Using your Animal Science Books. • Choose an animal • Snake, Turtle, Frog, Lizard • On the FRONT of your paper • Where do you find your animal in the wild? • Describe the habitat • What does your animal eat? • How does it “get” its food? • What anatomical adaptations does your animal have that make it successful in its environment • On the BACK of your paper • Design a “hero” poster for your animal. Include information from the front. Your poster must be colored
