The Genus of Teiid

Monday, November 1st, 2010


Only one genus of teiid, Cnemidophorus, enters the United States. C.gularis is a common and widespread western species. While little is known of D.paraguyensis, D. guianensis may approach a length of four feet.The tegus of the forests, genus Tupinambis, grow in excess of a yard. These lizards have often earned notorious reputations in their haunts as being hen-house riders. Most teiids, however, are about a foot  or less in length. A great many are but a few inches in length, giving them the nickname of “microteiids.”

Teiids are liable to turn up anywhere. Cnemidophorus is primarily a grasslands or desert creature, while Ameiva is an island-hopper of the Caribbean. Draceana is aquatic, while Bachia and Ophiognomen are semifossorial. At least one species is found in caves. This form, known from Trinidad, is a small enough beast but it may yet have a claim to fame based on a peculiar trait reported for it: it is said to be luminous. While many fishes are bioluminescent, no known terrestrial vertebrate is, except perchance Proctoporus shreivei. To my knowledge no one interested in this peculiar trait has used this particular species for experimental work, only the other similar members of the genus Proctoporus. If we can examine some live specimens of this animal, it may “illuminate” the whole matter once and for all!

Iguana’s lifestyle and Habits

Sunday, March 7th, 2010


This apartment dweller is four feet long and certainly weighs more than ten pounds. It is thriving, but it probably never tasted a hibiscus flower. It does, however, enjoy spinach souffle – served hot. Don’t laugh – one fine large specimen was donated to a zoo when it outgrew its home. The donor told the zoo curator that it had been eating – get this – mozzarella cheese and ice cream! Still another specimen was reported to eat anchovy pizza. This is not a chapter on diet, but the digression is intended to suggest that habits dictate iguana eating behavior, but the final results are liable to surprise you.

What goes in must come out, and here the iguana has habits which you can apply to train your pet to drop his leavings in the same place every time. First, your pet will probably want to defecate at about the same every day once his eating pattern and temperature are established. Second, if he is in water (or remembers that he had been in water in a certain place) this may trigger activity. Eventually, with some intelligent patience on your part, you should be able to train him to relieve himself once every day or two on a piece of dampened newspaper in the bottom of a dry bathtub. If your pet is always caged, you can concentrate on other problems, but lifetime caging presents another thing for you to think about – that is, exercise. Your pet should be able to walk, climb and flex his muscles.

Once you establish the territorial limits within which your pet is free to move, patterns will be established. If you give your pet the freedom of a room or several rooms, he will soon be at one place to sleep at night – dark and confining perhaps. He will defecate when he awakes, perhaps not every day, but in the same place however often. Perhaps he will choose a pad of newspaper which has been dampened on top. “Perhaps” is not the keyword, but it is not to be forgotten. What means a lot to one iguana might no mean as much to another individual – but let’s get on. He may expect to be fed at the same place; soon you will recognize his hunger signals. He may snort and create small sound from his nose as he discharges a small quantity of fluid from his nostrils. This fluid evaporates to leave salt-like crystals, but it is the act of snorting, in one example.

The Iguana part 2

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010


The Galapagos land Iguana, Conolophus subcristatus, is frequently seen in zoos but rarely in private collections. It is protected by law.

It weighs twenty-two pounds. There is a subspecies, A.c. venustissimus, found only on Hood Island. It is only 30 inches maximum length and brightly colored, but nevertheless is valueless as a captive pet.

CONOLOPHUS – One species, the Galapagos land iguana, Conolophus subcristatus. It is a vegetarian, eating shoots, bark, flowers, fruits, cactus pads and grasshoppers. With a row of spines down the back, this is a powerful looking lizard; however, it is easy to tame. It needs warmth – say 80 to 90 degrees F. It is surely used to salty food and may actually relish it. Four feet long.
