Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis)

Monday, April 5th, 2010

FAMILY: Iguanidae

LIFESTYLE: Arboreal; forest-oriented

DIET: Insectivorous

AVERAGE LENGTH: 7 inches (18 cm)

NATIVE CLIMATE: Subtropical and savannah

NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southeastern United States

Often sold under the mistaken identity of “American chameleon,” this anole is possibly the most widely known and most frequently purchased species of lizard in the United States. It is abundant in its native area and is therefore a relatively inexpensive lizard.

These lizards are capable of rapid color changes and are able to exhibit many shades of green and brown. The green anole is equipped with toe pads that enable it to climb vertically on glass walls. The male of the species is endowed with a red to orange dewlap that it often displays during territorial disputes and mating rituals.

Although readily available and relatively inexpensive, this iguanid usually lives only a short time in captivity – two years of terrarium life might be considered the maximum for many specimens.

A trio of green anoles (Arioks carolinensis). The anole in the center is molting— note how dull his shedding skin is when compared with the bright green hides of his companions.

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

NATIVE CLIMATE: Temperate and subtropical

Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko)

FAMILY: Gekkonidae

LIFESTYLE: Arboreal, forest; also rocky areas and cliffs

DIET: Insectivorous and carnivorous

AVERAGE LENGTH: 12 inches (30 cm)

NATIVE CLIMATE: Savannah, tropical rain forest

NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southeast Asia

This nocturnal (active at night) gecko has a bark and a bite. The voice of this species can be heard clearly, and the lizard seldom hesitates biting its keeper at the slightest provocation. The large, cat-like eyes lack movable eyelids; and (like many other geckos) these lizards clear their eyes with the use of their tongues.

Steppe and Desert Zones

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Sometimes eats other insects

AVERAGE LENGTH: 6 1/2 inches (16 cm)

NATIVE CLIMATE: Cool steppe, cool desert

NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico

When antagonized this species of horned lizard is able to emit a fine stream of blood from its eyes; the blood can be projected up to 7 feet (2.1 m). This lizard can also puff out its body by filling itself with air. Such extreme defense mechanisms are necessary because the horned lizard, sometimes referred to as the “horned toad,” is a relatively small, non-aggressive lizard. The health of these lizards usually deteriorates quickly when the animals are kept in captivity due to difficult temperature and humidity.

Iguana’s Structure

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The forelimbs are supported from the pectoral girdle. The humerus bone articulates at a point between the sternum and inter scapula. Similarly, the femur fits into an opening of the ischium. At the lowest point of the pectoral girdle is the sternum, a bone which protects a good part or the internal organs. Between the sternum and the pelvis may be a bony or cartilaginous union of the ribs, known as the parasternum. Extending from beneath the scapula and uniting with the sternum is the clavicle, a bone always present in pairs.

Postcranial Skeleton

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

The vertebrae are the first bones encountered beyond the skull. The first vertebra is the atlas, so named because it must bear the skull. The second bone is the axis, the pivot point which allows free movement of the head and neck. The hyoid apparatus is in the throat, roughly beneath and in front of these first vertebrae. It may be connected with a vertebra, or it may be a free unit. It protects the windpipe.

The body of the vertebra is called a centrum; the space between centra is the intercentrum. The vertebral centra may be one of two types, either amphicoelous (biconcave) or procoelus (concave anteriorly, convex posteriorly). The backbone runs the entire length of the tail, but should this member be lost, the replacement will be forever devoid of true vertebrae. Along the tail section, when true vertebrae are present, one can locate the plane of autotomy, which is usually a cartilaginous plate before or behind the transverse process of the vertebra.

Iguana’s Anatomy

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Above the ocular cavity is a bone or pair of bones called the frontals. This is a centrally located bone met anteriorly by the nasals or occasionally the prefrontal. It is bordered posteriorly by the parietal. Along the border of the frontal and parietal, or often in the center of the parietal, may be found a single round hole. It is in this small aperture that the pineal gland or third eye is located. In species lacking the eye, this pineal foramen is often absent.

There may be a temporal arch, an arch of bone created by the postorbital and squamosal bones. The lower arch, formed by an extension of the jugal with the quadrate, is not found in lizards, but does occur in the tuatara, Sphenodon, a lizard-like animal of New Zealand. In some lizards and all snakes the upper temporal arch is lacking; in these forms the squamosal bone is rudimentary or absent.

One last aspect of the skull that should be mentioned is the occipital condyle, the point where the cranium is fixed to the skull. This is a point of bone (single in lizards and the other reptiles) where the first vertebra, the atlas, attaches to the skull. It is not always at the hindmost part of the skull.

Food

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

The iguana is smart. He selects his food to provide a balanced diet. If this is what you believe – great! The iguana is stupid, but providentially he is endowed with a very tolerant digestive system. Perhaps this is what you believe – great!

Here are a few facts about your iguana which might be useful regardless of which statement you believe. Young iguanas in the wild are known to eat insects, small animals, birds, other reptiles, land snails, fruit, vegetables, flowers and buds. Adult wild iguanas have been found with some animal food in their stomachs. Other adults have been known to thrive in the wild on a 100% vegetarian diet.

Iguanas are rarely seen to drink, but they do like to bathe and swim and soak; perhaps they do drink or absorb moisture through their skin. The Galapagos land iguana eats or licks plants wet with dew and also seems to drink sea water.

Iguanas consume some gravel which they use in their alimentary canals to aid in breaking up tough vegetable matter. One fine specimen of common iguana contributed to the Staten Island Zoo in New York was reported to have thrived on mozzarella cheese and ice cream. At the zoo it thrived on the regular iguana diet.

Another, a pet in Washington, D.C., ate vegetables for twelve years and is thriving. This specimen has a special fondness for frozen spinach souffle, served piping hot! He is known to drink water from time to time. His owner believes that the preference for vegetables over fruit may have been acquired since vegetables were all he got to eat when he was a baby twelve years ago.
