Amagama
I-Rhacodactylus ciliatus, i- New Caledonian Crested gecko, ne-Eyelash gecko, i-gecko eqoshiwe
I-Life Span
I-Geckos eboshiwe kulindeleke ukuba iphile iminyaka engu-10-20 nakuba iyingxenye entsha yokuzilibazisa okwedlulele ngakho-ke lokhu akuqinisekile.
Mayelana ne-Geckos ekhishwe
I-geckos eboshiwe ifinyelela ubude bomuntu obude obungaba ngu-7-9 amasentimitha (kufaka phakathi imisila yabo ye-prehensile). Bafika ngemibala ehlukahlukene yemidwebo nokumaka (i-morphs).
Baqamba igama labo emgodini okhanda ovela phezulu kwamehlo abo phansi kwezintamo neminyango yabo, nakuba ubukhulu be-crest buhluka. Zinezikhwama ezikhethekile zokuzikhandla ezizivumela ukuba zihambe ngokungahambisani nezindawo eziqondile futhi imisila yabo ye-prehensile ifinyelela ekusebenzeni kwabo. Zibuye zibuyele kahle.
I-Geckos yezindlu ezakhiwe
Ubuncane be-20 gallon tall terrarium lanele umuntu omdala kepha ithangi elikhulu kuncono. Ama-geckos aphethwe yi-arboreal, asebenzayo futhi adinga isikhala esiningi sokukhuphuka ngakho-ke ithangi elide likhethwa. Ama-geckos angama-2-3 angasetshenziswa endaweni engama-29 gallon terrarium (kodwa abesilisa bayindawo, ngakho-ke gcina owesilisa oyedwa kuphela ithangi ngalinye). I-terrarium yeglasi enehlangothini ehlolwe ukuphuza umoya ingasetshenziswa kodwa abanye abagcini bakhetha ukuvalwa okuhlolwe.
Faka phansi
I-substrate ye-geckos ye-crested kufanele ibe yinto egcina umswakama ukusiza ekulondolozeni amazinga omswakama njengekakhukhunathi ukulala embhedeni, i-moss, noma i-peat, nakuba iphepha noma amathawula wephepha angasetshenziswa futhi.
I-geckos ehlanjululwe cishe iyakwazi ukufaka ingilazi ngenkathi izingela; uma lokhu kungokwakho, sebenzisa i-moss (mhlawumbe yedwa noma ngaphezulu komunye umgogodla njengekhenathi fiber) noma amathawula wephepha. Amathawula wephepha anconywa kubaphathi ngoba kungenzeka ukuba bagcine ngamanye ama-substrate engozini.
Amageyimu we-Cage
Ama-geckos aqoqwe adinga indawo yokunyuka ukuze ahlinzeke ngamagatsha, ama-driftwood, ama-cork bark, u-bamboo, nemivini ezindaweni eziphakeme nezindawo ezihlukahlukene.
Engeza izinhlobonhlobo zesilika kanye / noma izitshalo eziphilayo eziqinile (pothos, philodendron, dracena, ficus) njengoba zizofihla ezitshalweni ukuze zimboze. Isitsha esincane esingancibilika samanzi singanikezwa, ngamanzi ahlanzekile nsuku zonke, nakuba kungenzeka ukuthi bakhetha ukuphuza amaconsi amanzi emagqabeni (fipha itanki njalo kusihlwa).
Ukushisa
Ukushisa kwamalanga ama -72-80 F (22-26.5 C) kufanele kuhlinzekwe nge-geckos yokugcoba ngokudonsa ngesikhathi sokuhlwa kuya ku-65-75 F (18-24 C). Ama-geckos aqokiwe aqiniswa kakhulu emazingeni okushisa aphezulu. I-bulb ye-red-time yesikhumba esincane esiphezulu yenza umthombo omuhle wokushisa. Ungaphumuli umthombo wokushisa phezulu phezulu kwethangi njengoba lezi geckos ezikhuphukayo zingasondela kakhulu futhi zivutha zingabangela.
Ukukhanyisa i-Geckos ekhishwe
Ama-geckos aphethwe yi-nocturnal ngakho akudingi ukukhanya okukhethekile kwe-UVB. Kodwa-ke, abanye ochwepheshe banomuzwa wokuhlinzeka amazinga aphansi okukhanyisa kwe-UVB ahlala enenzuzo empilweni yabo yonke (umuntu kufanele aqinisekise ukuthi ukuvala okungeke kwenzeke futhi ukuthi i-geckos ingafihla ekukhanyeni uma ifunwa). I-bulb yesikhathi sokubomvu ebusuku ivumela ukubukwa lapho isebenza kakhulu kanye nokunikeza ukushisa okuthile.
Umswakama
Ama-geckos aqoqwe adinga izinga elincane eliphakeme lokumswakama; kuhloswe ngamaphesenti angu-60-80 emanzini anesihlobo (thola amazinga we-hygrometer namaqapha nsuku zonke).
Nikeza umswakama nge-misting ejwayelekile ngamanzi afudumele afudumele. Kuye ngesikheji sakho sokusetha ungase udingeke ukusiphazamisa izikhathi ezimbalwa ngosuku ukuze ugcine umswakama up. Njalo qinisekisa ukuthi i-cage iqhutshwe kahle ebusuku lapho ama-geckos esebenza kakhulu. I-geckos ekhishweyo ingase iphuze amaconsi amanzi emagqabini asele emgqeni.
Ukudla
Ukudla kokudla kwe-gecko yokudla okuvame ukuvunywa ngokuvamile kuvunywe kahle futhi kuyindlela elula yokuqinisekisa ukuthi ukudla okunomsoco, okunomsoco kunempilo. Kungenziwa ukwesekwa ngamakhilikithi nezinye izinambuzane ezidlayo (ama-roaches, ama-waxworms, ama-work izimpethu; izimbongolo zokudla zigwetshwa kangcono ngenxa ye-exoskelton yazo eyinkimbinkimbi) futhi zivumele i-gecko ukuthi isebenzise izimo zayo zokuzingela. Noma yiziphi izinambuzane ezondliwe kufanele zibe zincane kakhulu kunesikhala phakathi kwamehlo ka-gecko, kufanele zihlanjululwe ngamathumbu ngaphambi kokudla bese zifaka uthuli nge-supplement calcium / vitamin D3.
Uma ungeke ukwazi ukuthola ukudla kwe-gecko yokudla ungakondla i-geckos yama-crested inhlanganisela yezidakamizwa zokudla kwezinambuzane nezithelo nakuba kunzima ukondla ukudla okunomsoco ngale ndlela. Ingxenye yesinambuzane yokudla ingakhiwa ikakhulukazi yamakhilikithi kanye nokufaka ngezikhathi ezithile ezinye izinambuzane ezihlukahlukene. Ukuqothulwa kufanele kube mncane kunesikhala phakathi kwamehlo ka-gecko, kube nesisindo esithwalwe ngaphambi kokudla, futhi uthulwe nge-calcium / vitamin D3 isengezo ezimbili kuya kwesithathu ngesonto kanye ne-multivitamin kanye ngesonto. Yondla inqwaba ngesikhathi esisodwa njengoba i-gecko idla ngokulangazela. Izithelo zingadliwa izikhathi eziningana ngesonto. Zama izithelo ezigcotshwe noma ukudla okubeletshiwe kwezingane; bavame ukuthanda ubhanana, amapreaches, ama-nectarine, ama-apricot, ama-papaya, ama-mango, amapheya, nesithelo sesithando.
Yondla kusihlwa; Ama-juveniles kufanele athole ukudla nsuku zonke kodwa abadala akudingeki badliwe nsuku zonke (izikhathi ezintathu ngesonto kunconywa abagcini abaningi).
Amanothi
- I-geckos eboshiwe beyicatshangwa ukuthi ayiphelile, kodwa "yafunyanwa kabusha" ngasekupheleni kuka-1994. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kukhona ukuthandwa njengoba izilwane ezifuywayo ziye zaqhubeka zanda.
- Ama-geckos aqoqwe ngokuvamile anezimo ezinengqondo ezithandwayo, nakuba kungase kube lula futhi kunakekelwa lapho kudingeka lapho bezama ukugxuma kusuka kuwe futhi balimala. Kanti futhi, ama-geckos angase ahlehlise imisila uma ephathwa kabi noma ezama ukuhamba, kodwa ngokungafani namanye ama-geckos ngeke avuselele imisila yawo.
- I- Salmonella Muenchen ukuqubuka kwakuxhunyaniswe nokuxhumana nama-geckos e-crested ngo-2014 no-2015 ngokusho kwe-CDC.
