How to cultivate Gekko gecko

The management of artificial breeding gecko has a direct impact on the production effect. If the management is good, the growth and development will be good, and the fecundity will be high; on the contrary, the growth and development will be slow, the fecundity will decrease, and the economic benefit will be poor. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in the following aspects in management:

1. To do a good job in the cleaning and hygiene of the gecko farm, a disinfection pool should be set up at the entrance and exit of the gecko farm, in which quicklime or gunny bags and straw curtains should be placed, and 3% sodium hydroxide water or 3% gram Liaolin aqueous solution should be sprinkled on the sacks and straw curtains, and all the personnel entering and leaving the field should walk on them and disinfect the soles of their shoes so as not to bring outside pathogens into the field. The cleanliness in the farm should be cleaned regularly to keep the activity grounds and caves clean. In summer, it should be cleaned 2-3 times a week, and the dead insects and remaining artificial feed should be cleared out in time, so as to avoid decay and deterioration in the field and pollute the environment. The periphery of the farm should also be regularly cleaned and kept clean to prevent pathogenic microbes from being blown into the farm by the wind. Disinfect the ground and walls of the farm regularly and once a week when the temperature is high in spring, summer and autumn. The disinfectant is 1%-4% sodium hydroxide, which is used to disinfect the environment and the ground; bleach is used to disinfect garbage and other deposits, and 10 liters of 10% bleach solution is used for 1 cubic meter. Keep drinking water and swimming water clean and hygienic. Drinking water and swimming water should be changed frequently and kept fresh at all times.

2. Keep the farm quiet. Try to avoid outsiders visiting the farm. When managers enter the farm to work, they should move gently, do not cause a big noise, and keep the field quiet as far as possible. Avoid setting off firecrackers or other large sounds or vibrations around the farm and try not to cause alarm to the gecko community. This will not cause stress, which is beneficial to the growth, development and reproduction of gecko.

3. To prevent enemies from entering the farm to raise geckos, it is necessary to prevent rats, snakes, ants and other enemies from entering the farm. When rats and snakes enter the field, they will eat gecko, and ants will enter the farm, which can disrupt the life of gecko and affect the normal growth, development and reproduction.

1) Anti-rat and anti-snake rats will not only eat gecko, but also kill gecko and make holes in the gecko playground, causing communication between inside and outside the field to make gecko run away. The harm to rats and snakes mainly depends on prevention, and the way to prevent it is that the wall foundation of the farm should be treated strictly, the foundation should be deeper, and the base of the wall should be strictly covered with cement mortar to prevent rats from drilling holes. The barbed wire contact of the net room should be handled strictly, leaving no gaps, and often checked, and should be dealt with in time once a seam is found. Gecko breeding outdoor should often use rodent exterminator, electronic rodent repellent. There are no rat holes around the farm and breeding room, the net room is closed and tight, screen doors and screen windows are tight, snakes cannot enter.

2) although the ant control ant is small, it is a social and clustered insect. They are pervasive and easy to enter the gecko farm and breeding room. Gecko sometimes eats ants, but when the number of ants is large, it can harm the larvae or even adults of gecko by the strength of the population, making it restless. Once you attack a gecko, you will bite it, bite it to death, and then eat it. There are several ways to control ants:

1) repair the ant ditch around the farm or the breeding room to build a ditch 15cm deep and 20cm wide. There is water all the year round and ants cannot enter.

2) 1 part of chlordane powder and 4 parts of clay are mixed into mud and coated on the base of the outer wall of the fence for a week, 20 cm high, which can also prevent ants from entering.

3) once ants are found in the trapping field, throw some fresh animal bones where there are many ants, induce the ants to put on the bones, and then pick up the bones and burn the ants to death with boiling water.

4) when it is found that there is an ant nest in the farm, the medicine solution can be used to kill the ant.

4. Gekko gecko is distributed in the tropics and subtropics, with poor cold resistance and no resistance to severe heat. Generally, gecko can survive at 8: 12 ℃, but in hibernating state; 13: 17 ℃ begins to come out of the hole; 17: 21 ℃ begins to eat; the optimum temperature is 22: 30 ℃. When the temperature rises above 32 ℃, Gekko gecko also feels obviously uncomfortable, begins to lose appetite, reduces appetite, even does not eat, and stops growth and development. The temperature below 8 ℃ is a threat to Gekko gecko, but the cold tolerance is different because of individual strength. Strong adults will not freeze to death even if the ambient temperature reaches 5 ℃, while weak adults and larvae can freeze to death at 5 ℃ or even 10 ℃. Especially the young gecko can't stand the temperature below 13 ℃. Therefore, when the temperature changes greatly in early spring and winter in the south, attention should be paid to closing the doors and windows of the overwintering room and doing a good job of preventing cold and keeping warm. In the warm temperate zone, heating must be done to keep the overwintering room temperature of adult gecko gecko about 12 ℃, and that of weak individuals and larvae up to 13-14 ℃. When indoor heating overwintering, if a coal stove is used, a chimney should be installed on the coal stove to discharge the soot outdoors, and when the outdoor temperature is on the high side in sunny days, the window can be opened to keep the indoor air fresh. In midsummer, if it is cloudy and rainy, the temperature in the feeding room may be below 30 ℃, some dry and no rain, the outdoor temperature can reach 38 ℃, and the indoor temperature should exceed 32 ℃. At this time, it is difficult for adults and larvae to endure, at this time, doors and windows should be opened for ventilation, and water should be sprinkled on the indoor floor, and wet cloth or wet curtains should be hung indoors to reduce indoor temperature. At the same time, gecko should be provided with sufficient drinking water, and water can also be sprinkled on gecko to cool down. Under the hot temperature, gecko likes the humid environment, at this time the indoor relative humidity should be controlled at 70%-90%, the swimming pool should also add enough clean water for it to move into the water.

5. Graded management adult gecko has strong physique, strong resistance to adverse environmental factors, and can prey on larger insects; larval gecko has poor resistance to adverse environmental factors, and can not prey on larger insects. Therefore, hierarchical management of clam scale groups should be carried out, that is, healthy adult individuals can be selected into one room, weak adults into one room, young individuals into one room, and medium individuals into one room. In this way, feed worms can be fed at different levels and managed separately. For robust adult gecko, larger fodder insects can be fed at room temperature for 8 ℃ during hibernation, while for weak adult gecko or juvenile gecko, it is convenient for them to catch insects with smaller or weak crawling ability, and the lowest temperature in the hibernating room should not be lower than 13 ℃, otherwise they will die because they can not stand the low temperature.
