Topic: Chalarodon


  
  Madagascar Iguania
In any event, there are two types of iguanids in Madagascar, the Chalarodon, that looks rather like a swift, and the Oplurus, looking rather like a swift with a particularly spiky tail.
Oplurus, and possibly Chalarodon, drink by immersing their mouth in water and using their tongue to lap it up.
The plants in the Chalarodon should be sprayed with water to help boost the humidity.

At Malaimbandy in 2000, we monitored early dry season, full-cover sprays with fipronil and deltamethrin and also studied effects on the lizards Chalarodon madagascariensis and Mabuya elegans, the lesser hedgehog tenrec Echinops telfairi and their non-termite arthropod prey.
• We observed a significant decline in the relative abundance of Chalarodon madagascariensis and Mabuya elegans in fipronil plots at Malaimbandy, with effective reductions (compared with pre-spray levels) of 52·7% and 45·2%, respectively.
Echinops telfairi was not found in fipronil plots, while being frequent in unsprayed and deltamethrin plots.

 Some Difficulties in Zoological Distribution, by P. L. Sclater
This may be so, but at the same time there are other reasons for suspecting an American element in the fauna of Madagascar.
Madagascar possesses iguanoid lizards (Hoplurus and Chalarodon) and certain species of snakes of the family Boidæ, both of which are purely American groups.
Moreover, one of its rodents (Nesomys), lately described by Dr. Peters, belongs to the American group of Hesperomyes.

Posted: Jan 09, 2005 - 03:39 AM Yeah I went to the PetCo Website and found out that they do sell Madagascar iguanas and not spiny tailed, (although I have witnesses to the spiny tail lable) and I looked at the Madagascar iguana caresheet.
They had a picture of the Oplurus cyclurus when it was providing info about the Chalarodon Madagascariensis (which they even spelled wrong!!!) So I e-mailed them to fix it.
Then I went to Petco and spoke with the manager, she said she'd contact me on tuesday.
