This handsome boy is my current socialization project! His name is Grayson, and he is a Gargoyle gecko. He has done quite well with me and will hang around on the back of my shirt, up on my shoulders, or even in my hair for hours comfortably now. He is less tolerant of improper handling so he is not yet ready to handled by kids but he's doing such a good job so far. I'm a very proud parent of this spicy little darling ❤️

[ Edit: This new series will begin February 1st, 2024! ]
Heya everyone!
I need some help deciding which direction to take our Herptile of the Week segment in!
Option A.) Herptile of the Week becomes Herptile of the Day! This option would include one post per day regarding a particular herptile with each day being focused on a new herp! The post would entail similar content as to what has already posted in the past for the segment, including valuable details about the species and any interesting facts or studies regarding them that I come across during my research and much more! I would also like to include a little drawing of our chosen herp, done by me, with each post! :D
Option B.) Herptile of the Week would stay relatively the same as to how it already was, except posts will be less frequent, with one post every other day rather than everyday. We would still focus on one herp every week, with each post focusing on a different topic, but there would be less content overall. A drawing at the end of the week of the chosen herp will possibly also be included, but that would depend on timing and other stuffs :)
Option C.) Suggest a different solution! If you have any other ideas on how to format Herptile of the Week/Day(?) please feel free to send it to my ask box!

What We Know So Far About the Reproduction Habits of the Dahl’s Toad-headed Turtle (Messoclemmys dahli)
────────────

The Messoclemmys dahli is a severely understudied species. Very little is known about their daily habits and ways of life. The same can be said about the species’ exact way of reproduction and mating behaviors.
────────────
Tumblr media

In 1966, researchers observed that the mating season for the Dahl’s Toad-headed Turtles occurred in June and July within captive specimen populations in Villavicencio, Colombia. Copulation itself was noted to take places specifically in shallow waters. It was suggested that the number of eggs per clutch was typically no higher than six, with the possibility of several clutches being laid per year, as indicated by the ovules in different degrees of development that were found in several female specimens at different points in the year. Based on this information, an educated guess was made regarding the nesting season of Messoclemmys dahli, supposedly being between September and October. From the seasons of April to May, hatchlings are suspected to emerge, having endured an incubation period of four months before being able to break free from their eggs.
────────────
Rueda-Almonacid et al. (2006) described a coloration change amongst adult specimens during the onset of their mating seasons. Males reportedly developed an orange coloring on their plastron, legs, and neck, becoming more red during the months of June and July. Only some females would turn a slight orange in hue, within the same regions as the males, but none would acquire the red tinting as the months changed.
────────────
Much is left to be uncovered about the Messoclemmys dahli, and hopefully with time we will begin to understand more about this unappreciated reptile! I hope you enjoyed reading and if you are interested in learning more about these mysterious turtles then I would suggest checking out my blog again tomorrow when we will discuss the conservation efforts in place regarding this species and what you can do to help spread awareness! Or if you prefer, you can help yourself to further reading on the Dahl’s Toad-headed Turtle by checking out my previous posts about them or the sources for this post that are linked to the turtles below! ↓

the ribbon seals most defining feature, their stripes, take 4 years to develop!
here is a short timeline of their development 🦭
adorable white coat ribbon seal pups. this baby fur is called lanugo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
after around 1 month pups will start shedding their baby fur to reveal a grey and silver coat
Tumblr media
young seals with their grey and silver coat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then, the juvenile seals with start to develop their stripes over the next 3 years. they grow stronger with each moult, females can reach sexual maturity before they have fully developed stripes. this mothers stripes aren’t fully there yet.
Tumblr media
once they’re 4 years old a ribbon seals stripes will have fully developed.
male and female are easy to tell apart by their coat colour, the males will have bold black and white stripes
Tumblr media
whereas the females have more brown/beige/silver stripes
