He ʻano honu ʻo Trachemys scripta elegans mai ʻAmelika ʻĀkau e makemake ana i nā wahi noho mahana a hiki ke mālama ʻia i loko o ka loko iʻa kūpono a i loko o ka aquaterrarium kūpono. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ʻo ka honu ʻulaʻula. ʻAʻole pili kēia inoa maʻamau i ke ʻano ʻalani a i ʻulaʻula ma hope o ko lākou mau maka akā i ke ʻano nani hoʻi e uhi ana i ko lākou kino a me ke kapa kila. ʻO ko lākou inoa Pelekane (Red-eared Slider) e hōʻike ana he mea maʻamau kā lākou e paheʻe i loko o ka wai mai nā pōhaku. Me ka mālama pono, hiki i ka ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula ke ola a hiki i 30 mau makahiki. Pono e noʻonoʻo ʻia kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana. Pehea e pilikia ai ka ʻano honu ma kekahi ʻaoʻao a ʻo kekahi o nā mea kolo i mālama pinepine ʻia, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, e ʻike ʻoe ma lalo.
I ka Taxonomy
No ka papa o nā mea kolo (Reptilia) ka honu paheʻe pepeiao ʻulaʻula, e ʻoi aku ka pololei i ke ʻano o nā honu (Testudinata). He honu loko loko o ka Honua Hou ia, no laila, no ka ʻohana Emydidae. E like me ka honu pepeiao papalina melemele, he honu pepeiao leka (Trachemys). ʻO ka honu paheʻe pepeiao ʻulaʻula, nona ka inoa ʻepekema ʻo Trachemys scripta elegans, he ʻano subspecies ia o ka ʻĀkau letter slider tortoise (Trachemys scripta).
To Biology
Ma ke ʻano he kanaka makua, hiki i ka Trachemys scripta elegans ka lōʻihi o ka carapace a hiki i ka 25 knm, me ka nui o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne. E pili ana i kēia ʻano, hōʻike ʻia nā holoholona me ka liʻiliʻi o 37 mau makahiki ma ka palapala; ʻoi aku paha ka lōʻihi o ke ola maoli. Aia ka pae kūlohelohe ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o USA, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā wahi a puni ka Mississippi a me Illinois, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, a me Indiana. Ma ke ʻano he wahi noho, makemake ka honu ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula slider i ka mālie, mehana, nā wai lau me nā mea kanu ulu a me nā wahi lā. ʻO ka mea kolo ka lā, ola loa, a makemake e noho i loko o ka wai (e ʻimi i ka meaʻai a pale aku i nā mea ʻaihue). Haʻalele hoʻi i ka wai e waiho hua.
Inā hāʻule ka mahana ma lalo o 10 ° C, hele ka honu ʻulaʻula i ka hibernation a neʻe i nā wahi malu.
Ke emi nei ka heluna o nā ʻano. ʻO Trachemys scripta elegans kahi ʻano i mālama ʻia no ka mea e hoʻoweliweli nui ʻia ka nohona kūlohelohe.
E pili ana i ka helehelena
Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā honu pepeiao pepeiao ʻulaʻula me nā honu ma kahi pūpū palahalaha. He pūnaewele nā wāwae. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi ka ʻulaʻula ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao o ke poʻo. Inā ʻaʻole, aia nā hōʻailona ʻulaʻula a ʻulaʻula ma ke poʻo. Hiki ke huikau me ka papalina melemele (Trachemys scripta scripta). Akā e like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā subspecies ʻelua ma ko lākou mau papalina.
No ka meaʻai
E like me ka hapa nui o nā honu loko, ʻo ka honu pepeiao ʻulaʻula he omnivorous, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻo kāna ʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai meaʻai a me nā meaʻai holoholona. Ke ʻai nui nei nā holoholona kahiko i nā mea kanu. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā ʻupena, nā ʻupena pepeke, nā ʻū, nā ʻū, a me nā crustaceans e ʻai ʻia, i kekahi mau iʻa liʻiliʻi. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Trachemys scripta elegans i ka meaʻai, hiki ke wehewehe ʻia ka ʻai ʻana he manawa kūpono.
No ka mālama a mālama
ʻO ka mālama ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i nā honu loko iʻa he hana maʻamau, ʻoiai ʻo ka hoʻololi pinepine ʻana i ka wai a me ka kānana wai he mau hana maʻamau. ʻAʻole pilikia ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka meaʻai, no ka mea, ʻai nā holoholona i ka meaʻai kūpono i kūʻai ʻia a hoʻomākaukau ponoʻī ʻia paha ("pudding honu"). Manaʻo ʻia kahi noho kauwela ma waho, no ka mea, ʻo ke ʻano maʻamau o kēlā me kēia lā a me nā loli wela ka hopena maikaʻi i ke olakino o nā holoholona.
ʻO ke kumu, pono e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā kāne i loko o ka honu kani. ʻO ka paʻi pinepine ʻana i nā kāne e alakaʻi i ka pilikia nui no nā wahine. Hiki ke mālama ʻia kekahi mau wahine ma ka ʻaoʻao o kekahi me ka pilikia ʻole, akā pono e mālama pono ʻia ke ʻano: Pono ʻoe e hoʻokaʻawale i nā holoholona i mana nui! I ka mālama ʻana a mālama ʻana iā lākou, pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo ʻo nā honu pepeiao pepeiao ʻulaʻula he poʻe ʻauʻau ʻauʻau a koi nui i kahi ākea. Pono ka hohonu o ka wai ma kahi o 40 cm no nā holoholona makua. ʻO kahi i hoʻopaʻa mau ʻia i ka lā (e like me ke aʻa e puka ana mai ka wai) he mea nui ia e hāpai i ka thermoregulation. ʻO nā mea hoʻomehana ikaika e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i kahi mahana koho o ka lā o 40 ° C a ʻoi aku. He mea maikaʻi loa kēia no ka hōʻoia ʻana e maloʻo koke ka ʻili reptile. ʻO nā kukui halide metala (nā kukui HQI) a me nā kukui mahuka mercury kiʻekiʻe (HQL) kūpono no kēia. Ma waho aʻe o ka mahanahana, hōʻoia lākou i ka nui o ka mālamalama. Pono ʻo Trachemys scripta elegans i kahi ʻāpana ʻāina me ka ʻāpana kumu o 0.5 mx 0.5 m a ma ka liʻiliʻi loa e like me ka lōʻihi o ka carapace. I ke kauwela hapalua makahiki, pono ka mahana o ka wai ma kahi o 25-28 ° C, ʻo ka mahana o waho ma kahi o 2 ° C ke kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka hoʻoilo he mea kūikawā ʻē aʻe a ma muli o ke kumu maoli o nā holoholona. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia kēia. Ma kēia ʻano, ʻōlelo wau i nā palapala loea kūpono i kēia manawa. ʻO kēia wale nō ka mea hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia i kēia manawa: ʻO ka dormancy hoʻoilo e mau ma kahi o ʻelua a ʻehā mahina, ʻo ka mahana hoʻoilo ma waena o 4 ° C a me 10 ° C. ʻAʻole ʻōlelo ʻia ka hoʻoilo ma waho.
Ma ke kumu, aia nā koi kānāwai liʻiliʻi no ka mālama a mālama ʻana:
- Wahi a ka "Hōʻike i nā koi liʻiliʻi no ka mālama ʻana i nā mea kolo" o 10.01.1997, pono nā mea mālama e hōʻoia i ka wā e waiho ʻia ai kahi lua o Trachemys scripta elegans (a ʻelua mau honu) i loko o kahi terrarium aqua, aia ka wahi wai. ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi o ka pūpū o ka holoholona nui loa a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o kona laula i ka hapalua o ka lōʻihi o ka terrarium aqua. ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka wai e palua ka laulā o ka pahu.
- No kēlā me kēia honu hou aʻe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka aqua terrarium hoʻokahi, pono e hoʻohui ʻia he 10% i kēia mau ana, mai ka holoholona ʻelima 20%.
- Eia kekahi, pono e mālama pono ʻia ka ʻāpana ʻāina.
- Ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi terrarium aqua, pono e noʻonoʻo ʻia ka ulu ʻana o ka nui o nā holoholona, no ka mea, e loli nā koi liʻiliʻi.
ʻO ka Honu Makamae i mea kōkua kaulana?
I nā makahiki 50 a me 60 o ke kenekulia i hala, ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā mahiʻai honu maoli ma USA ma hope o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ka nani o nā "pēpē manu" a me ka nui o ke kālā e hiki ke hana me kēia mau mea kolo. ʻO nā keiki pū kekahi i waena o ka hui mea kūʻai makemake. No ka mea, ʻaʻole na nā keiki ka mālama ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana iā lākou, no ka mea he koi nui kēia a ʻoiai ʻaʻole noho liʻiliʻi nā honu ʻōpio i ko lākou ola a pau, ua haʻalele ʻia nā holoholona i nā manawa he nui me ka nānā ʻole ʻana inā kūpono maoli nā wahi noho. Ma kēia ʻāina hoʻi, ua hoʻokuʻu pinepine ʻia nā holoholona i ka nahelehele a hoʻoikaika nui i nā mea ulu a me nā holoholona. ʻO ka mea nui, pilikia nui ka honu loko iʻa ʻEulopa i ka hoʻokūkū o ka hoʻokūkū me kona mau ʻohana ʻAmelika ʻoi aku ka huhū. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka honu paheʻe pepeiao ʻulaʻula kekahi o nā ʻano honu kaulana loa a maʻalahi hoʻi ka mālama ʻana. He mea minamina no ka nui o ka luku ʻia ʻana a me ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā wahi noho i nā manawa he nui i pilikia nui ka lehulehu!
