Tropical Savanna Climate
May 13th, 2009
The “wet and dry tropical climate” is sometimes referred to as a Savannah or Savanna climate due to the naturally occurring “Savannah grasses” that are common throughout these regions. Savannah climates occur mainly between 20 degrees North and South latitudes.
Mean annual temperature for this type of climate is at least 60 degrees F. ( 21 degrees Celsius). Savannah climates lack a winter, but distinct seasons are determined by temperature and temperatures and amounts of precipitation.. The “cool/dry” season produces daytime temperatures of 80 degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit ( 27 to 32 degrees Celsius) while nighttime lows of 70 to slightly less than 60 degrees F ( 21 to 15 degrees Celsius) are common. Relative humidity during this season is slower than that of the the “wet season” that precedes it. The “cool / dry season” eventually gives way to the ” hot / dry season ” which brings temperatures of 90 to over 100 degrees F ( 32 to 38 degrees C) for daytime highs. The ” hot / dry season” ends as the “wet season” gets under way. “Wet season” temperatures and humidity factors can be compared to those of tropical rain forest climate Savannah climate is 40 to 60 inches ( 102 to 152 cm)

Juvenile Iganuas
May 13th, 2009
The juvenile Iganua is mainly insectivorous. It’s diet in captivity consists mainly of insects such as mealworms, earthworms and crickets , although vegetables and fruit are often accepted and included. Although the adult Iganua is for the most part mainly and fundamentally a herbevoire, it sometimes accepts fish as well as poultry – including chicken and turkey bird meat. Overall in most cases insects are rarely consumed by adult iganuas.

It is a serious misconception that adult Iganuas can thrive and live well and healthy on a diet of lettuce , tomatoes and mealworms. To ensure that the Iganuas appetite remains vibrant and sparked , it is important that the lizard’s menu be diversified overall if not day to day and on an ongoing basis. It has been observed and noted by many authorities that Iganaus have been known to prefer the following foods : green , yellow, kidney and baked beans , collard greens , grated carrots , cabbage , and apples , bannanas and grated mealworms ( for juvenile Iguana).

Scincidae
May 2nd, 2009
Easily , the largestlizard family in numbers , species and range, skinks occur almost everywhere a lizard can live or reside , except in the sea. Skinks are most unique among lizards in having a “secondary palate”. Osteoderms are present. Frontal bones distinct except in the Feylininae , this subfamily ( often considered and actual full family in itself and is lineage). also lacks the jugal bone and is vivaparous or oviparous. Skinks have moveable eyelids , except for Ablepharis, which has an actual clear “spectacle”. In addition the lizards formerly classified as the full family , Feyliniidae are now often included in the Scinidae by many most prominent herptologists; this group includes forms lacking both functional power and eyelids. Ear openings are usually present as is the power of “autonomy”.
Scales are usually smooth with a clear luster. However some genera noteably Trachydosaurus and Tribolonotus have rough or kneeled scaled. Many forms lack limbs or possess but one solitary pair, there may be five or fewer fingers.

Probably the most problematic genus has been Lygosoma practically world wide in distribution and having all stages of limb development. The genus Eumeces in common in the United States and the golden Great Plains skink, E. obsoleta , a foot long lizard in the central states. Australia’s Trachydosaurus rugosus looks like an animated version of pine cones, having large scales and a tail resembling the head. The family giant is Corucia zebtra , a two foot long tree dweller of the Solomon Islands.
Skinks are active , almost nervous lizards. They hide under large boulders , or in other inaccessible spots but sometimes , if not often, take to hilly wood slides. They can be said to be mainly insectivorous but many also eat or consume plants.

Tropical Rain Forest Climate
May 1st, 2009
A tropical rain forest climate is also known as a “wet tropical climate””. This implies that the area tends to receive large amounts of rainfall. Many regions of tropical rainforest lack a dry season or at most only two months of the year are dry. Average annual precipitation is 70 to over 100 inches ( 180 – 250 cm). Temperatures remain consistently high and there is no winter season. The mean annual temperature is 77 to 81 degrees F. ( 25 to 27 degrees) . Daytime high temperatures range from 95 degrees F ( 30 degrees celsius) to the low 90’s ( 32 to 34 degrees Celsius)
The highest temperature measured at Santarem , Brazil along the Amazon River in the Amazon Basin of South America was 85 degrees farenheit; this is just slightly below the usual tropical forest nightime low of 68 – 75 degrees farenheight ( 20 to 24 degrees celsius). Average humidity can be estimated at approximately 85 % and above. Tropical rainforest climates are located primarily within a range of 10 degrees lattitudes poleward in both directions of the equator.
Regions of the world that are influenced by the presence of a tropical rainforest climate include: most of the eastern half of Central America , part of the Northwestern coastline of South America from 15 degrees S latitude to 10 degrees North ( this includes the Amazon Basin ) , the Congo Basin of Africa, a small section on the eastern coast of Africa, eastern Madagascar , all of Malaya , almost all of the Indonesian islands including Sumatra; New guinea, the eastern Philippines, and parts of Southwest Asia.

Fossorial
April 29th, 2009
To this group belongs most of the limbless lizards. These creatures are those that live underground all or most of the time.

Also in this group in the Mexican Anelytropsis papillosus , a lizard which has only been collected about ten times. It is found in the desert, as opposed to the forests of Asia, and is probably wholly fossorial.

Territorial Adaptions
April 17th, 2009
The list of examples is a long one indeed, but what of function ? It is well known that the throat fans of some lizards warn intruders infringing on a territory , as well as to attract mates. The horns of male chameleons are used in territorial battles. The devices of many lizards are for protection, either for protections , either by physical discomfort ( the horns of Phyrnosoma) or bluff (Chlamydosarus) . The dorsal sails of lizards like Hydsosaurus and Basilliscus are not fully explained . One idea is that he device is rich in blood vessels and helps to regulate the internal temperature.

An escape mechanism of the wily Iguana is that the tail can come off the animal in cases of extreme stress. Many Iguanas when examined will be noted that they are missing tails or portions of tails.

If cornered or trapped an Iganua may bite , leavinga very clean cut , or will use its tail almost as a whip, leaving a nasty welt. Claws seem to be only for holding or grasping food or climbing not for personal defence. Iganuas can be said to be “climbers by instinct”, meaning that they are more apt to go up than down. This is not unlike cats who once having scaled a tall tree are unable to come down , and need assistance from perhaps a stranger or even the professionals from the local fire depatrment. Owners of Iganuas must be careful . If their pets bolt out an unlocked door they may quickly scale the nearest tree , never to be found again , and to freeze in colder climates and seasons.
