I-Tarantulas ibe yisilwane esithandwa kakhulu manje iminyaka eminingana. Zihlukile, zithulile, futhi zidinga isikhala esincane futhi zigcina ama-tarantulas njengezilwane ezifuywayo zingenza ukuzijabulisa okuthakazelisayo. Kodwa-ke, uma ufuna ukusingatha isilwane sakho okuningi akuzona okukhethwa kukho. Kukhona izinhlobo eziningi ezitholakalayo kwezohwebo lwezilwane ezihlukahlukene namasayizi, futhi ngokuvamile zilula ukuzinakekela kodwa zingathembela ezinhlotsheni.
Izinhlobo ze-Tarantula
Kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-800 ze-tarantulas zomndeni weTheraphosidae . Zingokwemvelo ezindaweni eziningi nasezikhungweni - ezimile, ezisezindaweni ezishisayo nezesibhakabhaka. Zihlukaniswe ngokweqile ngamaqembu amabili: "izwe elidala" (elivela empumalanga yezwe) kanye nezwe elisha (kusukela e-western hemisphere). Enye yezinhlobo ezithandwa kakhulu zigcinwa njengesilwane isilwane saseChilean (i- Grammostola rosea ), i-hardy, elula ukunakekela isi-spider esihlala eChile.
Ingabe ama-Tarantulas ayingozi?
I-Tarantulas ingaluma futhi ukukhala kwayo kuyingozi. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yezinhlobo eziningi zezinhlobo zezilwane, ubuhlungu besifo sabo bufana neyezinyosi noma i-wasp. Kungenzeka ukuthi kubangele ukusabela okungalungile kwendawo kufaka phakathi ubuhlungu, ubomvu nokuvuvukala. Kodwa-ke, abantu bangabhekana ne-antigic noma i-anaphylactic yokusabela ku-spider amajuba ngendlela efanayo abanye abantu abasabela ngayo ezinyosi zezinyosi, futhi lokhu kusabela kungabulala. Futhi, kunezinhlobo ezimbalwa ezinomsoco onamandla ongase abe obulalayo noma okungenani enze isisulu esilungile sigule kakhulu.
Ngakho-ke lapho izilonda ze-tarantula zingenakwenzeka ukuba zibulawe, usafuna ukugwema ukulunywa futhi indlela engcono kakhulu yokwenza lokhu ukufunda ngezenzo zesicabucabu bese uphatha isicabucabu ngokufanele. I-Tarantulas yizilwane zasendle futhi idinga ukuphathwa ngehlonipho. Njengomthetho, noma kunjalo, izinsipho eziningi zingathanda ukubuyela emuva kunokuluma.
Okunye ukukhathazeka ngokuphathelene nokusingatha ama-tarantulas ukucasuka nokukhwehlela kusuka ezinwele ezikhethekile ezitholakala kuma-tarantulas amasha omhlaba. La ma-tarantulas anezinto ezibizwa ngokuthi "i-urticating" (izinyembezi ezibangela) izinwele ezithombeni zazo, ezingazikhulula ngokuzikhukhumeza ngamandla izibeletho uma zisongelwa. Lezi zinwele ezincane zivaliwe futhi zingasebenza ngendlela yazo esikhumbeni futhi zibangele ukucasula nokucasula. Uma lezi zinwele zingena esweni zingangena kalula iso futhi zibangele ukuvuvukala. Qaphela kakhulu ukuthi ungagcoki amehlo akho ngemuva kokwenza noma yini nge-spider kanye ne-cage yayo kuze kube yilapho ugeza izandla zakho (kungenzeka kube nezinwele ezisezinkalweni ezingasetshenziswa ngenkathi zihlanza, njll) futhi ungangeni kakhulu eduze bheka isicabucabu sakho. Uma uthola izinwele esandleni sakho ungazama ukuwavimba nge-tape bese ugeza kahle. I-cortisone ayisikhilimu ye-topical ingasiza futhi ngokushaywa.
Ukukhetha i-Tarantula ye-Pet
Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, kunezinhlobo eziningi zezinhlobo ezitholakalayo kwezohwebo lwezilwane. Ngokuvamile, i-tarantulas engcono kunazo zonke "abaqalayo" yibo abahlala emhlabathini noma abagijimi njengoba bevame ukuhamba kancane kancane. Okulandelayo kukhona phakathi kwe-tarantulas engcono kakhulu yabanikazi bokuqala:
- I-Zebra ye-Costa Rica (i- Aphonoplema seemani )
- I-Mexican Redknee (i- Brachypelma smithi )
- I-Mexican Redleg (i- Brachypelma emilia )
- Ihlane / Mexican Blonde ( Aphonopelma chalcodes )
- I-Curly Hair Tarantula (i- Brachypelma albopilosum )
I- pinktoe (i-Avicularia avicularia) ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-tarantula yokuqala ye-arboreal kodwa ayiyona i-tarantula yokuqala yokuqala. Ngokuvamile, izinhlobo ze-arboreal ziyinselele kakhulu ukunakekela, kanti i-pinktoe ishesha futhi isheshayo, okwenza kube nzima nakakhulu.
Njengesilwane, insikazi ngokuvamile isinqumo esingcono ngoba nje abesifazane bavame ukuhlala isikhathi eside kunamadoda. I-rose yamaChile yase-Chile ingalindelwa ukuba iphile iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 kanti owesilisa wanoma yiluphi uhlobo lwezinhlobo ngeke asinde iminyaka engaphezu kweminyaka embalwa. Abathengisi abaningi bazoqinisekisa ukuthi ucansi. Kunoma yikuphi, abesilisa bazochitha isikhathi sabo esiningi bezama ukuphuma ukuze bathole umngane womshado, ikakhulu ekuhluphekeni kwabo.
Lapho ukhetha isi-spider, gwema izinsipho ezihlaselwa ngemilenze yazo ziboshwe ngaphansi kwazo, noma zihlala ngaphandle kwesidlo samanzi. Zama ukuthola igama lesayensi le-spider (njengoba lokho kuyoba yindlela engcono kakhulu yokwamukela ulwazi olufanelekile lokunakekelwa) futhi uqiniseke ukuthi iminyaka nobulili bayaziwa.
I-Tarantulas yezindlu
I-enclosure enkulu ayidingekile kodwa uma unezinhlobo ze-tarantula uzodinga isikhala esinde futhi uhlobo lokugubha luzodinga indawo efanele noma indawo yokufihla. Ngokuvamile, izigubhu kufanele zihlale endaweni eyodwa njengoba zingekho umphakathi.
Izimpungushe zokugwedla noma ezomhlaba, umthetho ojwayelekile wesiginci wukuthi i-cage kufanele ibe cishe izikhathi ezintathu umlenze wesigamu futhi ubude obuphindwe kabili ububanzi bomlenze.
Ukuphakama akufanele kube okungaphezulu kakhulu kobude be-spider - lezi zicabucabu ziyindlala futhi uma zikhuphuka futhi ziwa zingaba yingozi, zize zibulale. Ama-aquariums ama-2.5 noma ama-5 angama-gallon asebenza kahle. I-tank emikhulu ayikho kangcono kulokhu, njengoba i-tarantulas ayidingi isikhala esingeziwe futhi ithangi elikhulu lingenza kube nzima ukutholwa. I-tarantulas yama-arboreal idinga ikamelo elide ukunikeza igumbi elikhuphuka ngamagatsha, amahlumela, noma esinye isakhiwo lapho isicabucabu singakha khona iwebhu yayo. I-aquarium eyi-10 gallon ehlelwe ekugcineni eyodwa ingasebenza kahle ngale njongo. Kudingeka babe nesembozo esiphephile kakhulu, njengoba bengakwazi ukuphunyuka abaculi kodwa isembozo kumele futhi sivumele umoya owanele. Ngezansi, i-substrate ye-vermiculite, noma i-vermiculite ehlanganiswe nokuhlukahluka kokubumbana kwenhlabathi kanye / noma i-peat, kufanele inikezwe okungenani ama-intshi angu-2-4 ukujula ukuhlinzeka igumbi lokugubha futhi ubambe umswakama. Izinkukhu zezinkuni, ikakhulukazi imisedari, kufanele zigwenywe.
Indawo yokufihla kufanele inikezwe ne-tarantula yakho. Ingxenyana yamagxolo e-cork, igoli elingenalutho elingenalutho (njengoba litholakala ezilwaneni zesilwane), noma isigamu sobumba lobumba esihlangothini lwaso.
Isitsha esingenalutho samanzi singanikezwa. Kudingeka kube nzima kakhulu ukuvimbela ukugwinya futhi uma kukhona ukungabaza amanye amatshe amancane angafakwa esitsheni ukuze anikeze isikhunta okuthile ukuze aphumele ngaphandle uma kudingekile.
I-Tarantula Lighting and Humidity
I-Tarantulas ayidingi ukukhanya okukhanyayo kodwa kufanele igcinwe endaweni emnyama ekamelweni lapho ilanga eliqondile lingeke liwile khona. Izibani ze-incandescent akufanele zisetshenziselwe ukushisa njengoba zingase zomeze i-tarantula. Ukushisa ama-pads noma amapayipi (atholakalayo ezitolo zezilwane ezidliwayo) angabekwa ngaphansi kwengxenye encane yendawo yokutshisa izidingo zokushisa. Izinhlobo eziningi ze-tarantula zenza kahle phakathi kwama-75-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Amazinga okushisa afanelekayo nomswakama kufanele agcinwe, kepha yilapho izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zinemfuneko ehlukile. Ukuze uthole ama-tarantulas angadingi amazinga aphezulu okumswakama, isitsha samanzi (esingacacile) emgodini kanye nokuphuza kanye kanye ngesonto kufanele kube ngokwanele. Kulabo abadinga umswakama ophezulu, ukuphoqa okuvamile kuzodingeka. Kunoma yikuphi, izinga lokushisa nomswakama kufanele lisetshenziswe ukuqapha izimo. Emazingeni okushisa aphezulu, kunakekelwa okunye okumele kuthathwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe amazinga ananele okumanzi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umswakama ngokweqile ungakhuthaza ukukhula kwesikhunta futhi kufanele ugwenywe.
Ijaji akudingeki lihlanzwe njalo. Ngokuba izinsipho zigcinwe ezingeni eliphansi lokuswakama kwamanzi, kanye ngonyaka ngonyaka kungenzeka (ngaphambi kwesikhathi uma isikhunta, ukhunta noma izibungu ziqaphela).
Kulabo abagcinwe endaweni enomsoco, lokhu kuzodingeka kwenziwe njalo kaningi.
Ukudla ama-Tarantulas
Ukudla kwama-cricket, okuxhaswe nezinye izinambuzane, kuhle kuma-tarantulas asezilwaneni kanye nabantu abadala kuphela badinga ukudla cishe kanye ngesonto. Abanye abanikazi bangase bazame ukulingisa indlela isicabucabu esizoyidla ngayo endle bese sinikeza ukudla ngokungahleliwe (mhlawumbe amacricket ambalwa abe ikhilikithi eyodwa ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva, bese kuthi amacricket ambalwa ngesonto emva kwalokho, njalonjalo). Abantu abadala bangase bazile ukudla isikhathi eside (inyanga noma ezimbili akuvamile), ikakhulukazi ngaphambi kwe-molt.
Nokho, iziphepho ezikhulayo, kufanele zondliwe izikhathi eziningana ngeviki.
Ama-cricket kufanele agcwaliswe ngamanzi ngaphambi kokudla i-tarantula yakho, okungukuthi, kufanele igcinwe ekudleni kokudla okunomsoco futhi ichithe amavithamini ngaphambi kokondla. Khumbula ukuthi okungena ekhilikheni yilokho ekugcineni ukondla isikhala sakho. Ama-mealworms, ama-worms amakhulu, nama-roaches angadliwa ngezikhathi ezithile. Ama-tarantulas amakhulu anganikezwa ngisho namagundane e-pinkie kanye nezimbungulu ezincane uma befisa, nakuba kungenzeka ukuthi akudingekile. Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukugcina ukudla kuncane kune-tarantula (okungukuthi, encane kunomzimba wayo) futhi uqiniseke ukuthi i-tarantula ayinakaliswa yizilwane zayo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukungondli izinambuzane ezibanjwe zasendle ngaphandle uma kungenakuqinisekiswa ukuthi akukho nengozi yokutholakala kwezinambuzane. Uma u-molting, isi-spider sisengozini kakhulu futhi ngisho nekhilikithi ingababulala ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ususe noma yikuphi ukudla okungahambi kahle phakathi namahora angu-24 kakhulu kakhulu.
I-Molting Tarantulas
I-molting yilapho isicabucabu sikhula ngobukhulu obukhulu - ngokuchitha i-exoskeleton endala nokukhiqiza entsha. Lesi yisikhathi esicindezelayo se-spider kanye nalapho amazinga omswakama ebaluleke kakhulu. Isigubhu siyeka ukudla bese siyibeka emuva ukuze i-molt. Inqubo ye-molting ingathatha amahora amaningana.
Uma isidumbu esidala siphelile, kuzothatha izinsuku eziningana ukuze kube nzima ukuthi lo musha ukwenzeke (lokhu kungukuthi ukukhula kwenzeka) futhi isicabucabu akufanele sondliwe ngalesi sikhathi njengoba sisengozini yokulimala ngisho nokufa kokuthile okuncane njengekhilikithi . Ngaphezu kwalokho, isicabucabu akufanele siphathwe ngesikhathi sokubumba nokuqina. Kungathatha amasonto amabili ukuze isicabucabu siphume ngokugcwele ngemuva kokubola.
Ukuphatha i-Tarantulas
Ngesikhathi ama-tarantulas amaningi engekho amahloni amaningi ochwepheshe be-tarantula abacebisa ngokumelene nabo. Kumphathi, ukukhala kungaba nobuhlungu nokucasuka kungaholela ekuthintaneni nezinwele ezibuhlungu kwi-tarantula kodwa ingozi enkulu i-tarantula ngokwayo. Ngenkathi i-tarantula ingaba yinkimbinkimbi yokubanjwa esandleni, uma igijimela ngokuzumayo noma iqhuma ingase iwele futhi ukulimala okuqhubekayo kungabulala. Ngisho nokuwa okuncane kungabulala i-tarantula esindayo uma isisu siphuka. Amanye ama-tarantulas ashesha kakhulu futhi angaphinde aphunyuke. Izingane ikakhulukazi akufanele zivunyelwe ukusingatha i-tarantulas ngenxa yobungozi bokulimala kokubili kwengane kanye nesicabucabu.
