Ke lohe lākou i ka huaʻōlelo “diurnal geckos” a i ʻole “day geckos”, manaʻo ka nui o ka poʻe i nā geckos nani a waihoʻoluʻu o ka genus Phelsuma. Akā, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā geckos o kēlā me kēia lā no nā ʻano genera ʻē aʻe. ʻO nā moʻo diurnal he mea hoihoi. ʻAʻole wale lākou e kahaha i ko lākou nani akā me ko lākou ʻano a me ke ʻano o ke ola.
ʻO ka Diurnal Geckos o ka Genus Phelsuma - Hoʻohiwahiwa Maʻemaʻe
ʻO ka genus Phelsuma ka mea i loaʻa nui ma Madagascar akā he kamaʻāina nō hoʻi ia i nā mokupuni a puni i ka moana India, e like me Comoros, Mauritius, a me Seychelles. Ua lilo ʻo Phelsumen i mea paʻa mau i nā terrariums i nā makahiki i hala iho nei. He ʻano ʻoniʻoni lākou a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻano mea hoʻomaka kaulana e like me Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis a me Phelsuma laticauda.
Noho ʻo Phelsumen ma nā wahi ulu lāʻau ma ko lākou ʻāina hānau, a ʻo kekahi ma ka wao ua. Pono nā lako hale e komo i nā paipu ʻohe a me nā ʻili laulima ʻē aʻe me nā wahi peʻe. ʻO Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis ka mea nui loa o kona ʻano a hiki i 30 knm ka lōʻihi. Inā makemake ʻoe e mālama i nā gecko lā o ka genus Phelsuma, e mālama pono i nā mea āpau koe wale nō nā ʻano ʻelua i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna o ke kānāwai mālama ʻano a pono e hōʻike ʻia. Pono e hōʻoia ʻia ʻo Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis a me Phelsuma laticauda.
ʻO ka Diurnal Geckos o ka Genus Lygodactylus - ka Dwarf Day Geckos
ʻO ka genus Lygodactylus, i kapa ʻia ʻo dwarf day geckos, makemake nui ʻia i waena o nā mea mālama terrarium. ʻO nā ʻano Lygodactylus a pau he ʻano maoli ia i nā ʻāina wela a me nā subtropical o ʻApelika a me Madagascar. Ua kaulana loa ka ʻano Lygodactylus williamsi, ʻo ia hoʻi ka "sky-blue dwarf day gecko". ʻO ke kāne o Lygodactylus williamsi he uliuli ikaika loa, ʻaʻahu ka wahine i kona ʻaʻahu i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo turquoise. He maʻalahi ka mālama ʻana iā Lygodactylus williamsi a kūpono hoʻi no nā poʻe hoʻomaka.
ʻO nā geckos o ka ʻohana Gonatodes
ʻO nā gonatodes he mau geckos diurnal liʻiliʻi me ka nui o 10 knm, nona ka home ma ka ʻākau o ʻAmelika Hema. Aia i loko o ka genus Gonatodes he 17 mau ʻano like ʻole. ʻAʻole like me Phelsumen a i ʻole Lygodactylus, ʻaʻole lākou i ʻōlelo i nā lamellae adhesive ma ko lākou manamana wāwae. ʻO ka manawa pinepine ko lākou puʻupuʻu he piebald loa. Noho lākou i nā wahi semi-arid i nā wahi mākū a ʻoi aku ka ikaika i ka lā, akā i ke ahiahi.
ʻO nā moʻo moʻo o ka moʻo Sphaerodactylus - ʻo ka ʻano nui loa o nā moʻo a pau me nā ʻano he 97, ʻo ka genus Sphaerodactylus ka ʻano ʻano waiwai nui loa o nā moʻo diurnal a pau. He mau holoholona liʻiliʻi loa kēia, aneane liʻiliʻi. No ka laʻana, ʻo ka ʻano Sphaerodactylus ala mai ʻo ia paha ka mea kolo liʻiliʻi loa i ʻike ʻia ma ka honua ma 30 mm wale nō.
Inā makemake ʻoe e mālama i nā geckos i kēlā me kēia lā, e hana i kahi noiʻi maikaʻi ma mua e pili ana i nā koi mālama kūpono o kēlā me kēia ʻano, a e hauʻoli nui ʻoe me lākou.
Hoʻomaopopo no ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻano mea
Nui nā holoholona terrarium ma lalo o ka hoʻomalu ʻana i nā ʻano mea no ka mea e pōʻino ana kā lākou heluna kanaka ma ka nahelehele a i ʻole hiki ke pilikia i ka wā e hiki mai ana. No laila ua hoʻoponopono ʻia ke kālepa e ke kānāwai. Eia naʻe, ua nui nā holoholona mai nā keiki Kelemānia. Ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana i nā holoholona, e ʻoluʻolu e nīnau inā pono e mālama ʻia nā ʻōlelo kānāwai kūikawā.
