On February 18^th : Celeste Satter - "Natural History, Captive Husbandry, and Breeding of Corucia zebrata"

Celeste will be speaking about Corucia zebrata (PrehensileTailed Skinks, Solomon Islands Skinks, Monkey Tailed Skinks). She will be describing their habitat and subspecies distributions in the Solomon Islands; their CITES status; captive housing, care, feeding, and breeding; and their social behavior (yes, social behavior!)

Celeste has been keeping and breeding reptiles since 1974, when her younger brother got tired of caring for his two garter snakes and she assumed responsibility for them. She first encountered Corucia zebrata in 1981 when a friend in the Massachusetts Herpetological Society was caring for a pair that had been confiscated by Customs. She has been captivated by these unique and special lizards ever since!
