Types of Iguana

Friday, January 8th, 2010


BRACHYLOPHUS FASCIATUS – A “typical” but not “true” iguana. The Fiji Island iguana, handsome, rare, three feet, vegetarian.

CTENOSAURA HEMILOPHA – Common spiny-tail iguana. Central Mexico to U.S. border. Three feet. Grey black with a short spiny tail. Spends more time on the ground than the common green iguana and requires more animal food. Robust and dangerous. This species was formerly called Ctenosaura conspicuosa, the banded spiny-tail iguana.

CTENOSAURA ACANTHURA – Black iguana. Mexico and Central America. Can run on two feet. More terrestrial than arboreal. Young specimens are uniformly bright emerald green. This is a spiny-tailed iguana and may in fact by the very same species as Ctenosaura hemilopha.

CTENOSAURA MULTISPINIS – Black spiny-tail iguana. Mexico. Probably the very same as C. acanthura but described by another scholar.

ENYALIOSAURUS -Two species from Mexico. Uncommon in the per trade.

Cold-Blooded?

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010


From the time of Aristotle through Linnaeus and even more recently, the classes of animal life were described as warm-blooded or cold-blooded. Unfortunately for describers of animal life who like to simplify, there is no absolute black and no absolute white in nature. All life is full of shades of gray. Mammals that hibernate do so with body temperatures much lower than their normal operating temperature. This goes for the bear and the woodchuck and doubtless many others.

Among reptiles the temperature regulation is managed by their behavior. A cool snake will bask in the sun or partially bury itself in warm sand. An overheated lizard will seek shade or a burrow. Perhaps additional study will show that when the Indian python incubates her eggs she is actually providing some temperature regulation as well. If thermo-regulation is necessary for reptile health (and this does seem to be the case), and this regulation is behavioral, then the pet keeper is duty bound to provide the environment in which his pet can behave to suit his temperature requirements. Nothing profound about that, but it is up to you to furnish a heat source with basking areas at various distances from it and also a shadow area where your pet can escape if the heat gets to be too much. All this can easily fit into a cage. Mount a light at the top, then several shelves or branches at various distances and then perhaps you will discover that the  shadows created under the shelves provide the cool escape areas as well. Just make sure that what you erect is rugged and stable. A light that falls down and traps or burns your pet is your fault. Don’t blame the stupid iguana.

Advantages of an Erect Posture

Saturday, December 19th, 2009


The erect posture of dinosaurs is often said to be the key to their success. Why is this? An important reason is that an erect posture is mechanically more satisfactory than a sprawling one. The weight of the body is supported entirely from below. In a sprawler, the weight of the body is supported from the sides. While gravity effectively pulls straight down from the center of the body mass, in a sprawler this force has to be converted into a sideways component along the femur or humerus (upper arm bone), and then a vertical component down the tibia and fibula, and the radius and ulna (forearm bones), which causes great stresses are avoided if the gravitational force of the animal’s mass is transferred down through a straight, erect limb.

This mechanical advantage is important. Firstly, erect animals can run in a more sustained way: not necessarily faster, but with more stamina, because the effort of supporting the body weight is much less than in a sprawler. This would have been an immediate advantage to an archosaur chasing sprawling prey animals or escaping from a sprawling carnivore. Interestingly, the main plant-eating groups of the Middle Triassic, the pig-like rhynchosaurs and dicynodonts, were evolving semi-erect gaits at the same time. Indeed, the ancestors of the mammals, the cynodonts – which were moderate-sized carnivores at that stage – also showed similar advances.

What are the Dinosaurs?

Saturday, December 12th, 2009


The inturned head of the femur (the beginnings of the full right-angled femur head seen in dinosaurs and in a different from in mammals); the straight knee joint; the reduced hinge-like ankle joint (technically termed the advanced mesotarsal, or AM, ankle); the long toes and the digitigrade posture of the foot, in which only the toes touch the ground, not the sole of the foot as in earlier archosaurs – and in humans today.

Most of the dinosaur-like characters are also seen in the flying pterosaurs. Certain paleontologists argue that Lagosuchus, the pterosaurs, and the dinosaurs together form a major clade that arose in the Middle to Late Triassic, some 230 million years ago.

The dinosaur-like synapomorphies of this clade, and their further modification in the dinosaurs proper, are part of a major series of related anatomical changes that took place among the archosaurs during the Triassic, and which may have been the key to the origin of the dinosaurs.

Temperate and Subtropical Zones part 4

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009


Plants that are most suited to the temperate/subtropical terrarium require a relative humidity factor of approximately 50% to 60%.  The spider plant Chlorophytum, is a hardy plant that requires full sun; this plant might do well in a temperate/subtropical environment. Other possible candidates include Cordyline, Setcreasea, and Yucca plants. These are all plants that require full sun. Yucca has hazardous points at the ends of its leaves. Nevertheless, this plant makes a beautiful appearance in just about any location. Another drawback to yuccas is their inclination to demand cool temperatures during the winter months.

Stenotaphrum (St. Augustine’s grass), which also requires full sun, might be grown successfully in the temperate/subtropical habitat. Dracaena and Ficus (fig) plants, which need plenty of light, should not be exposed.

Terrarium Care

Monday, November 16th, 2009


Wind is probably rarely considered when deciding the possible environmental conditions in which to place an individual lizard specimen, and although the presence or absence of wind is probably not a crucial factor in successfully maintaining lizards, it seems appropriate that any environmental condition that can be duplicated in the captive habitat of any animal should be attempted.

     Adequate air circulation certainly is necessary in any enclosed lizard habitat to prevent air stagnation, and in the case of tropical rain-forest environments, to prevent the growth of molds and other fungi.

Brain

Monday, January 26th, 2009


While it is more than “well known”,  and a fact that the  brains of huge dinosaurs was scarcely even the size of a walnut, the brains of modern reptiles are small and simple in structure , relating overall to function, although it can be best and easily said that they are predominantly larger.    There are three major areas designated , the cerebral hemispheres , the mid brain and the cerebellum.  Anterior to the cerebral hemisphere is a stalk of variable length and thickness known as the olfactory bulb.  This is the principal scent detector and varies in size depending on the capabilities of scent detection  among species .  Beneath the cerebral hemispheres is a small stalk containing the pituitary  gland  ( growth and development) and the thalamus and hypothalamus  ( activity and homeostatic controls).  This central stalk as a whole is called the diencephalon.

Behind the cerebral hemisphere is the “midbrain”,  this may also be referred to as the “optic lobe” , as it is here that the messages from the eye and eyes are translated after being relayed.   If present , as well , the pineal eye may still have the nerve that connects it directly with the midbrain.

Next comes the cerebellum and medulla.  The medulla is the “start”  of the spinal cord.  It regulates heartbeat and heartbeats as well as respiration and the respiratory systems.   It is known that this area and areas that the messages for balance and overall balance are sent from the ear organs.
