Uma bezwa igama elithi “diurnal geckos” noma “day geckos”, abantu abaningi bacabanga ngamagekhi amahle nanemibala yohlobo lwePhelsuma. Kodwa kunama-diurnal geckos akwezinye izizukulwane. I-Diurnal geckos iyathakazelisa. Abagcini nje ngokuhlaba umxhwele ngobuhle babo kodwa nangokuziphatha kwabo nendlela yabo yokuphila.
I-Diurnal Geckos ye-Genus Phelsuma - Ukuthakazelisa Okumsulwa
Uhlobo lwe-Phelsuma lutholakala kakhulu eMadagascar kodwa futhi ludabuka eziqhingini ezizungezile e-Indian Ocean, njengeComoros, Mauritius, neSeychelles. I-Phelsumen isiphenduke indawo ehlala njalo ezindaweni zokuhlala eminyakeni yamuva. Zinemibala egqamile futhi ikakhulukazi izinhlobo ezisaqalayo ezidumile ezifana ne-Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis kanye ne-Phelsuma laticauda kulula ukuzinakekela.
AmaPhelsumen ahlala ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zasehlathini ezweni lakubo, abanye namahlathi emvula. Ifenisha kufanele ihlale ihlanganisa amashubhu oqalo nezinye izindawo ezibushelelezi ezinezindawo zokucasha. I-Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis inkulu kuhlobo lwayo futhi ingaba ngu-30 cm ubude. Uma ufuna ukugcina ama-day geckos ohlobo lwe-Phelsuma, qiniseka ukuthi zonke izinhlobo ngaphandle kwalezi zinhlobo ezimbili ezishiwo ngenhla zingaphansi komthetho wokuvikela izinhlobo futhi kufanele zibikwe. I-Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis ne-Phelsuma laticauda zidinga ukuqinisekiswa kuphela.
I-Diurnal Geckos ye-Genus Lygodactylus - i-Dwarf Day Geckos
I-Lygodactylus, ebizwa nangokuthi i-dwarf day geckos, idingeka kakhulu kubagcini be-terrarium. Zonke izinhlobo ze-Lygodactylus zitholakala ezindaweni ezishisayo nezishisayo zase-Afrika naseMadagascar. Izinhlobo ze-Lygodactylus williamsi, ezaziwa nangokuthi "i-sky-blue dwarf day gecko", idume kakhulu. Owesilisa weLygodactylus williamsi unombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka onamandla kakhulu, owesimame ugqoke ingubo yakhe eluhlaza okotshani. Ukugcina i-Lygodactylus williamsi kulula futhi ilungele abaqalayo.
I-diurnal geckos yohlobo lweGonatodes
Ama-Gonatodes ama-diurnal geckos amancane kakhulu anosayizi ongaba ngu-10 cm, ikhaya lawo lisenyakatho yeNingizimu Melika. I-genus Gonatodes iqukethe izinhlobo eziyi-17 kuphela. Ngokungafani ne-Phelsumen noma i-Lygodactylus, abanayo i-adhesive lamellae ezinzwaneni zabo. Ngokuvamile i-torso yabo i-piebald ekhanyayo kakhulu. Zihlala ezindaweni eziwugwadule kuya eziswakeme futhi zisebenza kakhulu emini, kodwa kuze kube kusihlwa.
I-diurnal geckos yohlobo lwe-Sphaerodactylus - uhlobo olucebile kakhulu kuzo zonke izizukulwane ezinezinhlobo ezingu-97, i-Sphaerodactylus iwuhlobo olucebile kakhulu kuzo zonke izinhlobo ze-diurnal geckos. Lezi yizilwane ezincane kakhulu, cishe ezincane. Isibonelo, uhlobo lwe-Sphaerodactylus oluvelayo cishe iyisilwane esihuquzelayo esincane kunazo zonke esaziwayo emhlabeni wethu esino-30 mm nje kuphela.
Uma ufuna ukugcina ama-diurnal geckos, yenza ucwaningo oluhle kusengaphambili mayelana nezidingo zokugcina ezihambisanayo zezinhlobo ezifanele, futhi uzojabula kakhulu ngazo.
Inothi Lokuvikelwa Kwezilwane
Izilwane eziningi ze-terrarium zingaphansi kokuvikelwa kwezinhlobo zezilwane ngoba abantu bazo endle basengozini noma bangaba sengozini esikhathini esizayo. Ngakho-ke ukuhweba ngokwengxenye kulawulwa umthetho. Kodwa-ke, sekuvele kunezilwane eziningi ezivela enzalweni yaseJalimane. Ngaphambi kokuthenga izilwane, sicela ubuze ukuthi ingabe imibandela yomthetho ekhethekile idinga ukubhekwa.
