Armadillo lizard breeding
They battle to stop other males from entering their territory during the breeding season so that they can mate exclusively with any females who live. The nine-banded masculine armadillos are territorial. Tortoises need to be provided with a high standard of animal husbandry and therefore only qualifying entities with the required legal permits issued by the relevant regulatory bodies, were involved in the relocation process. An armadillo may never interact with another armadillo after reaching adulthood outside of the breeding season, which occurs during the summer. The room in which the terrarium was located was heated during the winter and air conditioned during the summer, which may have switched seasons on the lizards, but they bred none-the-less. The Johannesburg Zoo complied with permit requirements to relocate 400 specimens temporarily held at the Joburg Zoo that was confiscated by GDARD in 2019. In the most recent breeding of which I’ve been informed, births occurred in a terrarium maintained at an ambient of 77 F with a basking site of 95 F. “The Johannesburg Zoo did not sell its tortoises nor purchase any reptiles it acquired from SA Venom. Johannesburg Zoo spokesperson Jenny Moodley said the not-for-profit organisation has noted the “inaccurate and reckless claim” by Ban Animal Trading movement BAT and EMS that there was a “sale” of reptiles by the zoo to the SA Venom Association. Muller, according to the report, paid a fine of R20 000 to the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) in 2016 for attempting to illegally export 80 giant African bullfrogs and 150 rain frogs, which have never been successfully bred in captivity, to Taiwan for the pet and food market. Then you are not limited to the species listed on your permits. This irresponsible conduct has prior to now contributed to the total vulnerability in their species to their numbers within the wild. They are so called as because they can roll into a ball and take up a defensive posture when threatened. They are diurnal, slow-moving and stay in social groups. A guy exporting will say there’s venomous snakes and nobody wants to open the bags. Unfortunately, maximum lizards with armadillo belts are taken captive from their wild hometown as a result of their care and breeding in captivity isn’t simple. Armadillo lizards are endemic to the desert areas of the west coast of South Africa. People at customs at the airport need to be able to identify the species. “It’s slowing down research and conservation and the illegal exporters are just doing it illegally and that doesn’t impact them.

The main problem lies with the administration of the permitting system, says Alexander.

Some permits do not even specify the species.” Permits are issued easily without questioning and scrutiny and more and more wild-caught reptiles are leaving our shores. “We pass conservation laws, restrict the export of reptiles but very little is done to ensure shipments are legal. A shipment of 60 hatchlings what were claimed to have been captive-bred was stopped at OR Tambo International Airport a few years back and when DNA analysis was done on both the youngsters and adults, it was evident they were not related and not bred in captivity.” “We see this in reptiles like sungazers that do not breed well in captivity.
