During this April break Connor and I had beginning of annotating and choosing out the group of animals for our enclosure. The green anole, sudan plated lizard, blue tongue skink, day gecko, pac-man frog, green tree frog, crested gecko, rough green snakes, tiger salamander, house gecko, giant millipede, sugar glider, halloween crab, hissing cockroach, land snail, rough tailed monitor, desert iguana, horny toad lizard. We were aiming between two or three different species with at least one arboreal and a terrestrial. We made tables to compare the humidity, temperature, temperament, diet and size. After cutting animal out like the halloween crab and the rough green snake due to the fact that even if they are primarily terrestrial or arboreal, respectfully will travel to the ground or climb and may harm or get harmed by the other animals. I was hoping for a snake but we sadly weren’t able to find any species that are compatible with each other. We then narrowed it down into ten different potential groups that consist of the bounds previously mentioned. After that we listed out potential problems with each of the groups, we had discussed which groups will mostly work together with the less amount of complications. These groups consists of the giant millipede, land snail, house gecko, blue tongue skink, sugar glider, hissing cockroach, and crested gecko. I would enjoy having the sugar gliders and a blue tongue skink. This is because I would want to see how mammals and reptiles would interact with each other, while being within the same enclosure.
We had started to annotate the journals for the first draft lit review that is due in a little less than two weeks. I had started to annotate the Parasites in pet reptiles and Predators as mediators:Differential antipredator behavior in competitive lizards species in a multi-predator environment. We had used the the list from the Parasites in pet reptiles that listed multiply pet reptiles and did research on them to see any more potential candidates for our enclosure.
