内蒙古阿拉善地区两种沙蜥的基础形态对比及饲养方法研究

Comparison of Basic Morphology and Breeding Methods of Two Phrynocephalus in Alashan Area,Inner Mongolia

沙蜥属物种形态差距较小,栖息地重合度较高,常难以区分。为区分两种阿拉善地区常见的沙蜥,探究沙蜥的人工饲养与繁育,进一步保护与开发利用荒漠地区小型爬行动物,以阿拉善地区的两种沙蜥为研究对象,汇总其基础形态差异,测定体躯指标,进行短期室内饲养,由此提出室内养殖方法。结果表明,两种沙蜥在基础形态上存在明显差异,其中荒漠沙蜥体型显著大于草原沙蜥。草原沙蜥体色呈土灰色,荒漠沙蜥体色呈褐黄色。对沙蜥进行室内饲养时需提供适宜的沙地环境,辅以加温日灯、UVB紫外线灯,以黄粉虫、蟋蟀为主要食物,偶尔投喂其他昆虫作为营养补充。

The species morphology of Phrynocephalus is small,and the habitat overlap is high.So it is often difficult to distinguish.In order to distinguish the two common Phrynocephalus in Alashan Area,the study explores the artificial breeding and breeding of Phrynocephalus,and further protects and develops the use of small reptiles in desert areas,takes two kinds of Phrynocephalus in Alashan Area as research objects,summarizes their basic morphological differences,determines body indexes,and proposes indoor breeding methods.The results show that there are obvious differences in basic morphology between the two species of Phrynocephalus,and the size of P.przewalskii is significantly larger than that of P.frontalis.The body color of the grassland sand lizard is earth gray,and the desert sand lizard is brown yellow.It is necessary to provide suitable sandy environment for sand lizards to be kept indoors,supplemented by heating day lamps and UVB ultraviolet lamps,and fed with yellow mealworms and crickets as the main food,and occasionally fed other insects as nutritional supplement.
