Today I set up some lizard experiments
that I plan to follow this winter in
the laboratory. I also placed some
animals in outdoor cage #2, and these
animals will be followed through the
next breeding season. I hope some
of these outdoor animals (Uma insinata,
U. notata & U. scoparia) will
successfully produce young in the
outdoor cage.
I shall be running 3 experiments
in the lab. Cages 1 & 2 contain Phrynosoma
m'calli and 1 Phrynosoma platyrhinoe.
Cage #1 will have the lights turned off
for the winter on October 1st, while cage
#2 will continue to receive 11 hours of
light per day. This experiment is
intended to determine whether these
animals must hibernate or not. The
arrangement of these animals is
recorded in the species field notes.
The arrangement of animals in the
other experiments also are described
in the field notes of the species
involved (Dipsozaurus dorsalis, Uma
insinata, U. notata, & U. scoparia). Cage
#4 contains almost adult U. insinata, U.
notata, & U. scoparia that are now on
24 hours of light per day. Both or??
