Igama lezinhlobo:
Terrapene carolina enkulu
Incazelo / Usayizi:
I-Gulf Coast ibhulogi ibhokisi elikhulu kunamanye amabhuloho ebhokisi futhi lingakwazi ukufika ngamasentimitha angu-7 ubude. Anayo i-carapace (igobolondo) esivame ukukhanya emnyama noma emnyama, enezimpawu ezimbalwa (ukukhanyisa okwesibhakabhaka kutholakala kuma-juveniles, kodwa lokhu kuvame ukunyamalala kubantu abadala). Izimpikiswano eziseceleni zivame ukuvutha. I-plastron ngokuvamile ibumnyama.
Isikhumba sibomvu kodwa abesilisa bangase babe nokukhanya okumhlophe noma amhlophe ezimhlophe entanyeni nasezimbonini.
Izigameko Zebhokisi Lama-Sexual Gulf Coast:
Amadoda ngokuvamile ane-irises obomvu futhi ahlala isikhathi eside, imisila enamandla kunabesifazane. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-plastron ngezinye izikhathi idibanisa emadodeni futhi ihamba kahle kubantu besifazane. Ngokujwayelekile, izinhlayiya ezinyaweni ezincane zifushane futhi zingaphindze zivezwe kunamazinsikazi. Kodwa-ke, kungaba nzima ukushayela amabhulogi e-sex box, ngaphandle kokuqhathanisa abesilisa nabesifazane eceleni.
I-Lifespan:
Njengawo amanye amabhulobho ebhokisi, izinhlanzi zamabhokisi eGulf Coast zingaphila isikhathi eside, mhlawumbe kuze kube yiminyaka eyikhulu. Ngokudabukisayo, abaningi ekuthunjweni ngeke baphile leso sikhathi eside (iminyaka engu-30-40 ijwayele kakhulu; ngisho mfushane kunakekelwa okungakapheli kahle).
Izindlu:
Nakuba kungenzeka ukugcina izinhlanzi zamabhokisi aseGulf Coast (ikakhulukazi ama-hatchlings kanye nama-juveniles) endaweni enkulu ye- terrarium yangaphakathi (ama-aquariums amaningi amancane kakhulu), enza kangcono kakhulu ezindlini ezingaphandle lapho isimo sezulu sivunwa khona.
Kufanele babe nokufinyelela okulula emgodini ongajulile wamanzi ngaso sonke isikhathi. Futhi, kufanele babe nokufihla izindawo zokufihla izindawo, futhi udoti oluthile lokugubha. Bheka " Amapulangwe Okungaphandle Kwamabhokisi " ukuze uthole okwengeziwe ezindlini zangaphandle.
Ukushisa nokukhanya:
Uma ugcinwe epeni langaphandle, qinisekisa ukuthi kukhona izindawo ezisebusuku nezomthunzi ezitholakalayo (i-tortle kufanele ikwazi ukuhamba ukusuka ezindaweni ezipholile ukuya ezindaweni ezifudumele uma kudingeka).
Ngaphandle, i-terrarium izodinga umthombo omuhle kanye nokukhanya kwe-reptile okuvela emphakathini we-UVB. Nikeza indawo engaphansi kwezinga lokushisa ngamazinga okushisa ama-85 kuya ku-88 F, ukugcina i-terrarium nge-gradient kuze kube ngu-75 F. Ukushisa kwebusuku akufanele kube phansi ngaphansi kuka-70 F.
Amanzi:
Akuyona into engavamile emagodini amabhokisi aseGulf Coast ukuba angene emanzini angajulile ukuba aphuze futhi abe nokuvuza. Nikeza i-pan engaqondakali kalula yamanzi ahlanzekile ngaso sonke isikhathi (qiniseka ukuthi angangena futhi aphume emanzini ngaphandle kokuchofoza). Gwema njalo ipeni labo noma ugijime i-sprinkler yomswakama oweneziwe.
Ukudla:
Izikhukhula zebhola le-Gulf Coast ziyi-omnivores futhi zidinga ukudla okuhlukahlukene. Ukudla kwabo kufanele kufake imifino, izithelo, kanye noswa (cishe 40% yokudla). Okuseleko kungenziwa ngemithombo yamaprotheni ephansi; Ukudla konke okuphilayo kulungile (imibhoshongo yemifino, ama-slugs, izinkila, ama-worms, ama-cricket, izinkumbi, izinhlanzi ezincane, njll) kodwa ukudla okuphekwe okuphephile kanye nokudla okuncane okunamafutha kungeniswa njengesengezo. Ama-Hatchlings ayamnandi kakhulu. Okunye okunye ekudleni izinkomba zebhokisi kungatholakala " kuThuthukisa amabhuloki amabhokisi ."
Amanothi:
Indawo Yokwemvelo: Izinhlanzi zebhola laseGulf Coast zingaphila ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene ngaphakathi kobubanzi bazo. Bavame ukungena emanzini angajulile ukuze badle izinambuzane nezimpungushe ze-amphibian.
Njengamanye amabhuloho amabhokisi aseNorth America, iGulf Coast ibhokisi lamagundane ama-hibernate uma likhuni, kodwa ezindaweni ezifudumele zobubanzi bawo, kungase kungadingeki ukuthi bahlale beqhwa. Zitholakala esifundeni saseGulf Coast kusukela entshonalanga yeFlorida kuya empumalanga yeTexas.
Ibhuloho lezinhlanzi zamabhokisi liyancipha (okubalwe yi-CITES njengokusongelwa, futhi izimvume zokungenisa / zokuthumela izinto ziyadingeka). Izikhulu eziningi zivikela izikhukhula zebhokisi futhi zibe nemithetho ngokumelene nokuqoqa izinhlanzi zamabhokisi zasendle. Kungcono ukuthola ibhotela lebhokisi lesilwane elibanjwe ekuthunjweni kumfuyi ohloniphekile. Ama-turtle abanjwe ngasendle awenzi kahle ukuthunjwa futhi abaningi bafa ngokucindezeleka. Izitolo zezilwane zivame ukuthwala izintambo ezibanjwe zasendle.
