He mea'awa'aha'o Iguanas: pehea e noho ai ma hope o ka "hoa noho" pilikia?

'O nā mea wale nō e hele'ole mai me nā mea aloha o nā mea keu! 'O kekahi e ho'onohonoho i nā hale kūikawā, e ulu ana ma ka puka makani windowsill. He nui ka po'e i hānai'ia i nā aquariumona o nā i'a'ōma'oma'o nani, a he mau mea ho'oweliweli nui kekahi. Ho'onohonoho nā mea nui ma hope o lākou i nā mea pupuhi, e like me nā lālā, nā bear a me nā'oniu. A nui nā mea aloha i nā holoholona o waho e moemoe i ka li'i ma ka home,'oi nui a maika'i.

I ka wā ma mua,'o ka ho'oma'ama'a'ana i nā kānaka i'eha a i'oki'ia e ka iguana, he ulu lā'au nui, e noho mau nei i Mexico, Central America, Brazil, a ma Hawaii ho'i, ua ulu pinepine aku i nā ke'ena lapa'au. A i kēia lā e ne'e ikaika ana ia i ko mākou mau hale noho. 'O nā'eha a me nā pīhoihoi i hana'ia e kēia holoholona he mea weliweli loa ia, no ka mea, he lā'au make. Ua mana'o'ia i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma kahi o 15,000 mau'ōpiopio i hā'ule i loko o ka lima o ka po'e mea pā. Pehea e hiki ai ke noho pū kekahi me kekahi "mea pilikino" weliweli loa inā e lanakila mau ana'o ia ma kahi kokoke iā'oe?

Nā mamo o nā līkini kahiko

Hō'ike'ia ka paehonua i nā hua'ōlelo i'ike'ia ma mua. I kēia lā, aia i ka nui o nā'ano he 4000 ma ka honua, i ho'ohui'ia i 20 mau'ohana, aia i waena o lākou he mau iguanas. Ka mea, i hohola aku nā mea a pau ma luna o ka poepoe honua, koe wale no ke koe o anuanu cii. I ka hapanui o nā hihia, he ola nā lizards ma luna o ka honua, i kekahi manawa e komo i loko o ke one a pi'i paha i nā lā'au. Noho kekahi mau mea kolo i ka lepo,'o kekahi - ma ka laina he'enalu. Aia kekahi po'e e alaka'i i ka ola o kēlā lā i kēia lā, a hele kekahi, hopu a'ai wale i ka pō. 'O nā'okena a me ko lākou mau'ūhā, ko lākou mau kolo, mollusks a me nā ilo, a'o kekahi manawa li'ili'i li'ili'i -'o ia ka'ai nui o nā lizards.

'O wai kēia hoaā make?

'O ka'ōlohelohe'okiko'ōma'oma'a, ka mea i loa'a pinepine'ia i nā terrarium o nā mea aloha holoholona, ma ke'ano maoli e noho mau ana i nā ululā'au ululā'au. Makemake'o ia e ho'olālā i nā lā'au e ulu kokoke i ka wai, no ka mea inā he pilikia e hiki iā ia ke lele i loko o ka muliwai i kēlā me kēia manawa.

He nui loa ka nui o ka iguana makua, hiki ke kaumaha i 5 kg a ulu i'elua mita, a'o ka hapalua o kona lō'ihi kona huelo ikaika. 'O nā māmā ikaika me nā'oi'oi'oi e kōkua iā lākou e pi'i mālie ma o nā lā'au, a ho'ohana'ia ka huelo no ka'au'au'ana a me ka pale.

He nui nā kāne ma mua o nā wāhine a he nui nā'ano nui a me ka'ōlehu'ōni'oni'o. He'ōma'oma'o'ōma'oma'o'ōma'oma'o ka'ōpiopio, e kōkua ana iā lākou e ho'oulu pono i nā lālā o nā kumu lā'au. 'O ka mea ma'amau,'a'ole lākou e loli i ke'ano, akā'o kekahi mau'ano o ka'ili ke'ano o ka laulā ākea, e pili ana i ka mahana, ka māmā, ka'ai, ka pilikia, ka huhū a me nā ma'i'ē a'e: mai ka mālamalama i ka pouli.

Nā kūlana o ka ho'opa'a

No ka mea, he mea'awa'awa nā huelo, I loko o ka noho pio'ana, ua mālama'ia lākou i loko o nā terrari. 'O kēia, no ka mea, i kekahi'ano e pili ana i ke'ano o ka mea kūlohelohe. Hiki ke loli ka lō'ihi o ke kino, no ka mea, pili pū me nā kūlana o ka ho'opa'a.

He aha ka terrarium no ka iguana? No ka mea he mea pi'i kēia, e'oi aku ka nui o ka ki'eki'e ma mua o ka wahi. Akā, he ākea ka terrarium, a he nui nā lālā a me nā pā hale. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, pono ka ne'e'ana o ka iguana, e pi'i, e uhi. Ma ka loa'a'ana o kahi holoholona li'ili'i, mai kū'ai koke i kahi terrarium nui, ho'okahi no ke ola. Ke'ano like'ole nā'ano li'ili'i li'ili'i i ka po'e nui, a me ko lākou'ano, a me kā lākou hana, pēlā me ka ulu'ana o ka holoholona, pono e ho'ololi nā kūlana no kona hale.

'O nā keiki hānai,'oia'i'o, nā mākua, no ka mea he mea'awa'awa nā kiko. Ho'onoho'ia ka terrarium i mea e ma'alahi ke mālama, mālama'ia i kahi mahana wela, e ho'onoho i kahi wai me ka wai mahana. I ka luna pae hiki ke lele akuʻimi hoʻopunipuni a ola, akā,ʻaʻole make kanu. E no'ono'o nui i ka ho'onānea, ka'ana'ana, ka'ea'ana, ka ho'oku'u'ana i nā ultraviolet a me ka hānai'ana.

Inā noho i loko o ka hale ka'ōpiko omola, a laila i ka wā e ho'ololi'ia ai, pono ia e waiho ma kahi kihi: i kēia manawa, pono iā ia ke ho'omaha. 'Oiai he mea'awa'awa nā'ōpū, akā, hiki ke ho'oku'u'ia i ka holoholona momona mai ka terrarium. I ka wā o ka hele wāwae, pono'oe e mālama i kona palekana: e ho'ohuli i nā keiki, nā'īlio a me nā'īlio ma kahi mamao aku, e ho'ā'o i ka hele'ana o ka mea kūlohelohe ma lalo o ka māka'ika'i. Inā'ole, hiki ke hopohopo paha ai'ole hiki ke hā'ule mai kahi ki'eki'e loa, e like me ke'ano, mai kahi pae'ana a i'ole ka pāpale.

'O ka iguana kekahi o nā holoholona maika'i loa. Inā ho'omaka'o ia e hilina'i i ka po'e a lilo i mau hoaaloha me lākou, hiki iā'oe ke a'o e pili ana iā ia i nā mea hoihoi. 'O wai nā mea? E ha'i hou i kahi manawa.
