I-Trachemys scripta elegans iwuhlobo lofudu oluguquguqukayo oluvela eNyakatho Melika oluthanda izindawo zokuhlala ezifudumele futhi lungagcinwa echibini elifanelekile kanye nase-aquaterrarium enosayizi ofanele. Lwaziwa nangokuthi ufudu olushelelayo olunamadlebe abomvu. Leli gama elivamile alibhekiseli kuphela kusici esisawolintshi emigqeni ebomvu ngemuva kwamehlo azo kodwa futhi kuphethini elihle elimboza imizimba yazo nezikhali. Igama labo lesiNgisi (i-Red-eared Slider) liphinde libonise ukuthi kuwumkhuba wabo ukushelela emanzini besuka ematsheni. Ngokunakekelwa okufanele, isilayidi esinamadlebe abomvu singaphila iminyaka engama-30. Leli qiniso kufanele lihlale licatshangelwa ngaphambi kokuthenga. Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi uhlobo lwe-turtle lusengozini ngakolunye uhlangothi kanti esinye sezilwane ezihuquzelayo ezigcinwe njalo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, uzothola ngezansi.
Ku-Taxonomy
Ufudu olushelelayo olunamadlebe abomvu lungokwesigaba sezilwane ezihuquzelayo (Reptilia), ukunemba kakhudlwana ngokulandelana kwezimfudu (Testudinata). Iwufudu lwechibi le-New World, ngakho-ke lungelomndeni wakwa-Emydidae. Njengofudu lwendlebe olunezihlathi eziphuzi, lubuye luwuhlamvu lwe-ear turtle (Trachemys). Ufudu olushelelayo olunamadlebe abomvu, igama lalo lesayensi i-Trachemys scripta elegans, luwuhlobo olungaphansi lofudu olushelelayo lwezinhlamvu zaseNyakatho Melika (Trachemys scripta).
Ku-Biology
Njengomuntu omdala, i-Trachemys scripta elegans ifinyelela ubude be-carapace obufika ku-25 cm, kanti abesifazane bakhudlwana kancane kunabesilisa. Ngokuphathelene nalolu hlobo lwezilwane, izilwane ezineminyaka okungenani engu-37 zibikwa ezincwadini; iminyaka yangempela yokuphila mhlawumbe iphakeme nakakhulu. Ibanga lemvelo liseningizimu ye-USA, ikakhulukazi ezifundeni ezizungeze i-Mississippi kanye ne-Illinois, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, kanye ne-Indiana. Njengendawo yokuhlala, ufudu olushelelayo olunamadlebe abomvu luthanda amanzi azolile, afudumele, anemifino enohlaza oluluhlaza kanye nezindawo ezinelanga. Isilwane esihuquzelayo siphila ngokuzumayo, siyaphila kakhulu, futhi sikhetha ukuhlala emanzini (ukufuna ukudla nokuvikela izilwane ezizingelayo). Iphinde ishiye amanzi ukuze izalele amaqanda.
Uma amazinga okushisa ehla ngaphansi kuka-10 ° C, ufudu olushelelayo olunamadlebe abomvu lungena ebusika bese luthuthela ezindaweni ezivikelekile.
Inani lezinhlobo zezilwane liyehla. I-Trachemys scripta elegans iwuhlobo oluvikelwe ngenxa yokuthi indawo yokuhlala yemvelo iya ngokuya isengozini.
Mayelana nokubukeka
Izimfudu zezindlebe ezibomvu zihlukaniswa nezimfudu ngegobolondo eliyisicaba. Izinyawo zinezintambo. Isici esivelele ngokukhethekile esihlukanisayo umugqa obomvu ohlangothini ngalunye lwekhanda. Uma kungenjalo, kunezimpawu ezinombala okhilimu ukuya kosiliva endaweni yekhanda. Isilayidi esinamadlebe abomvu singadideka kalula nesilayida esinehlathi eliphuzi (Trachemys scripta scripta). Kodwa njengoba igama liphakamisa, lezi zinhlobo ezimbili ze-subspecies zingahlukaniswa ezihlathini zazo.
Okokudla Okunempilo
Njengezimfudu eziningi zasechibini, ufudu lwendlebe olubomvu luyi-omnivorous, okusho ukuthi ukudla kwalo kuhlanganisa kokubili ukudla kwemifino nezilwane. Izilwane ezindala zidla izitshalo eziningi kakhulu. Ikakhulukazi izinambuzane, izibungu zezinambuzane, iminenke, izimbaza, nama-crustaceans kuyadliwa, kwezinye izimo nezinhlanzi ezincane. I-Trachemys scripta elegans ayiyena umuntu othanda ukudla, indlela odla ngayo ingachazwa njengosomathuba.
Okokugcina Nokunakekela
Ukugcina nokunakekela izimfudu zasechibini ngokuvamile kuwumsebenzi onzima kakhulu, njengoba ukushintsha kwamanzi njalo kanye nokuhlunga amanzi kuyimisebenzi evamile, evamile. Ukunikezwa kokudla akuyona inkinga encane, njengoba izilwane zisebenzisa ukudla okutholakalayo okudayiswayo noma okuzilungiselele ngokwazo (“turtle pudding”). Kunconywa ukuhlala ngaphandle kwasehlobo, njengoba inqubo yemvelo yansuku zonke kanye nokushintshashintsha kwezinga lokushisa kunethonya elihle empilweni yezilwane.
Ngokuyisisekelo, ubulili kufanele bugcinwe buhlukene kufudu oluyizindandatho. Ukushaya njalo kwabesilisa kuholela ekucindezelekeni okukhulu kwabesifazane. Izinsikazi eziningana ngokuvamile zingagcinwa eduze kwenye ngaphandle kwezinkinga, kodwa ukuziphatha kufanele kuqashelwe ngokucophelela: Kufanele uhlukanise izilwane ezibusa kakhulu! Lapho uzigcina futhi uzinakekela, kufanele ucabangele ukuthi izimfudu zezindlebe ezibomvu zingababhukudi abashesha futhi zidinga indawo enkulu. Ukujula kwamanzi okungenani okungama-40 cm ezilwaneni ezindala kuyanconywa. Indawo efakwe unomphela elangeni (isb. impande ephuma emanzini) ibalulekile ukuze kuthuthukiswe izinga lokushisa. Izishisi ezinamandla ziqinisekisa izinga lokushisa lasemini elikhethiwe elingu-40 ° C nangaphezulu. Lokhu kuzuzisa kakhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isikhumba sesilwane esihuquzelayo siyoma ngokushesha. Izibani ze-Metal halide (izibani ze-HQI) nezibani ze-high-pressure mercury vapor (HQL) zifanelekile kulokhu. Ngaphezu kokufudumala, baqinisekisa ukukhanya okwanele. I-Trachemys scripta elegans idinga ucezu lomhlaba olunendawo eyisisekelo engu-0.5 mx 0.5 m futhi okungenani ijule njengobude be-carapace. Ehlobo, izinga lokushisa kwamanzi kufanele libe ngu-25-28 ° C, izinga lokushisa langaphandle kufanele libe ngu-2 ° C ngaphezulu. Ubusika buyindaba ethize ekhetheke kakhulu futhi kuncike emsuka wangempela wezilwane. Nokho, lokhu akwaziwa ngokwengxenye. Kulokhu, ngibhekisa ezincwadini zochwepheshe ezifanele njengamanje. Lokhu kuphela okungashiwo kuleli phuzu: I-dormancy yasebusika kufanele ihlale cishe izinyanga ezimbili kuya kwezine, izinga lokushisa lasebusika kufanele libe phakathi kuka-4 ° C no-10 ° C. Ubusika ngaphandle akunconywa.
Empeleni, kunezimfuneko zomthetho ezincane zokugcinwa nokunakekelwa:
- Ngokombiko “wezidingo ezincane zokugcinwa kwezilwane ezihuquzelayo” wango-10.01.1997, abagcini baphoqelekile ukuthi baqinisekise ukuthi uma ipheya le-Trachemys scripta elegans (noma izimfudu ezimbili) lihlaliswa endaweni engaphansi kwe-aqua terrarium, indawo enamanzi okungenani ubukhulu obuphindwe kahlanu bubude kunobude begobolondo lesilwane esikhulu kunazo zonke futhi ububanzi baso buyinxenye yobude be-aqua terrarium. Ukuphakama kwezinga lamanzi kufanele kube kabili ububanzi bethangi.
- Kufudu ngalunye olwengeziwe olugcinwe endaweni efanayo ye-aqua terrarium, i-10% kufanele yengezwe kulezi zilinganiso, kusukela esilwaneni sesihlanu 20%.
- Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingxenye yomhlaba oyisibopho kufanele inakekelwe.
- Lapho uthenga i-aqua terrarium, ukukhula kobukhulu bezilwane kufanele kucatshangelwe, njengoba izidingo ezincane zishintsha ngokufanele.
I-Jeweled Turtle Njengesesekeli Esidumile?
Ngeminyaka yama-50s kanye nama-60s ekhulwini elidlule, amapulazi ofudu lwangempela athuthukiswa e-USA ngemva kokuba kutholwe ukuthi “izimfudu zezingane” zibukeka kanjani nokuthi ingakanani imali engenziwa ngalezi zilwane ezihuquzelayo. Izingane ikakhulukazi zaziphakathi kweqembu elithandwayo labathengi. Njengoba ukuzigcina nokubanakekela empeleni akuzona izingane, njengoba lokhu kufuna kakhulu futhi njengoba izimfudu ezincane zingahlali zincane kangaka ukuphila kwazo zonke, izilwane ziye zalahlwa izikhathi eziningi ngaphandle kokunaka kakhulu ukuthi izindawo zokuhlala zifanelekile yini ngempela. Kuleli zwe, futhi, kuvame ukwenzeka ukuthi izilwane zidedelwe ziye endle futhi zibe nengcindezi enkulu ezimila nezilwane ezihamba phambili. Ikakhulukazi, ufudu lwaseYurophu oluzalelwa kithi luhlushwa kakhulu ingcindezi yokuncintisana nezihlobo zalo zaseMelika ezinolaka kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, i-red-eared slider turtle ingenye yezinhlobo zofudu oludume kakhulu futhi kulula ukuyigcina. Kuyadabukisa ukuthi endaweni yemvelo izindawo zokuhlala ziye zacekelwa phansi futhi zicekelwa phansi izikhathi eziningi ukuze abantu bahlupheke kakhulu!
