Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) is a semi aquatic reptile native to southeastern China and northeastern Vietnam named for the two rows of scales on its tail that resemble a crocodile’s. These endangered lizards are known for their unique behavior including a “metabolic pause” where they remain motionless for hours and they give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. They are carnivores that eat insects, snails, and tadpoles and worms. #chinese #crocodile #lizard #shinisa

Excited to share that my Chinese crocodile lizards (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) are waking up from their first proper brumation (winter dormancy) in my care! They’ve been asleep since early February, resting in a cold, dark room kept around 50–53°F. Now that temperatures have crept up to about 57–60°F, they’re finally stirring! Fingers crossed they successfully reproduce this year 🤞🏼! They’ll be hungry and eager to return to their paludarium very soon — so expect a lot more reels like this in th

Missing my Chinese crocodile lizards (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) right now. They are tucked away in their individual winter brumation bins, resting in a cold, dark room kept around 50–53°F, and won’t be out again until March or so! Here is a video of me feeding Rexy, one of my females, a nightcrawler earthworm 🪱! Few things are more fun than feeding a baby T. rex! 🦖 • #reptiliatus #lizard #terrarium #reptile #pet | Reptiliatus

My favorite @Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc. enclosure is definitely the 36x18x36 paludarium, and it’s pretty obvious why… it’s the biggest canvas to work with! Though a fairly simple design, this enclosure turned out great, and viewable from 3 sides. This is generally how I keep all my Chinese crocodile lizards (Shinisaurus crocodilurus): with a full water bottom and lots of branch options of diffident sizes (baby care is a bit different but not far off). It’s also a fairly low maintenance paludariu
