ʻO ka nahesa lāʻau keeled (Opheodrys aestivus) pili i ke kauoha squamous.
ʻO ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka nahesa nāhelehele keeled.
Hoʻolahalaha nui ʻia ka lāʻau keeled ma ka hema hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻIke pinepine ia ia ma ka hema o New Jersey a loaʻa ma ke kapakai hikina o Florida. Mai ka pali komohana a i ka waena o Oklahoma, Texas a me Mekiko ʻākau.
ʻO ka nohona o ka nahesa nāhelehele keeled.
Pili nā nahesa nāhelehele ʻo Keel i waho o nā loko a me nā loko iʻa. ʻOiai he nahesa lāʻau lākou, hānai lākou i nā mea ulu nunui ma ke kino o ka wai a loaʻa ka meaʻai ma kahakai o nā loko i ke ao. I ka pō piʻi lākou i nā kumulāʻau a noho manawa i nā lālā o nā kumulāʻau. Koho nā nahesa nāhelehele ʻo Keel i kahi kahua hoʻohālua ma muli o ka mamao i ke kahakai, ke kiʻekiʻe a me ka mānoanoa o ka lāʻau. ʻIke pinepine ʻia lākou i nā lāʻau deciduous, shrubs, hedgerows a me nā māla.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi moʻo nahesa keeled.
He pōkole ke kino o ka nahesa lāʻau keeled - 89,3 - 94,7 cm. Lahilahi ke kino, ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke aniani o ka dorsal a me nā ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao. ʻO ka ʻōpū, ka ʻūlū, a me nā lehelehe e laulaha i nā aka mai ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ka kirimalu.
ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa nā kāne a me nā wahine i ke kala o ka ʻili, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine, me ke kino lōʻihi a me ka nui o ka nui, ʻoiai he lōʻihi ka huelo o nā kāne.
Kaupaona nā wahine i ka laulā o 11 g a i ka 54 gram, ʻoi aku ka māmā o nā kāne - mai 9 a 27 gram.
ʻO nā moʻo nāhelehele keeled ʻōpio ke nānā aku e like me nā mākua, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi a me ka māmā o ke kala. ʻOiai he diurnal kēia mau moʻo a noho mau i ka wela o ka lā, ʻeleʻele a paʻa hoʻi ko lākou ʻōpū. He hoʻololi kēia e pale ai i ke kino o ka nahesa mai nā radiation ultraviolet a mālama i ke kino mai ka wela nui.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana i ka nahesa nāhelehele keeled.
Hānau nā moʻo nāhelehele ʻo Keel i ka wā puna. I ke kau moʻo, hoʻokokoke nā kāne i nā wahine a hōʻike i ka noho aloha: hoʻopili lākou i ke kino o kā lākou hoa, ʻānai i ko lākou auwae, wili i ko lākou huelo a wili i ko lākou poʻo. Kūpono ʻia ka male ʻana o kēlā me kēia kanaka, a ma hope iho e hoʻopuehu ai nā moʻo. I ka wā o ka oviposition, haʻalele nā wahine i ko lākou wahi noho maʻamau a hele i ka ʻāina, neʻe hou aku mai kahakai. Nānā lākou i nā lua ma nā lāʻau maloʻo a ola paha, nā lāʻau popopo, nā hale malumalu ma lalo o nā pōhaku a i ʻole ma lalo o nā papa i ka lepo one. Pulu maʻamau kēlā mau wahi, lawa lākou i ka wai no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hua. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā pūnana 30.0 - 39 mau mika mai ke kahakai. Ma hope o ka hoʻomoe ʻana i nā hua, hoʻi nā wahine i nā kapakai o nā waihona wai a noho i waena o nā mea kanu.
Hāpai ka wahine i nā hua i nā manawa like ʻole, ke kaukaʻi ʻia, mai 5 a 12 mau lā. Ke waiho nei i nā hua i Iune a me Iulai. Loaʻa i ka Clutch he 3, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hua manu ʻoluʻolu he 12. Ana lākou mai 2.14 a 3.36 cm ka lōʻihi a 0.93 a 1.11 cm ka laulā.
Hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā moʻo ʻē aʻe, e waiho nā moʻo nāhelehele keeled i mau hua me nā embryos i hoʻomohala ʻia, no laila ua hoʻopokole ʻia ka manawa no nā keiki
Hōʻike nā nahesa ʻōpio ʻōpio me ka lōʻihi o ke kino o 128 - 132 mm a me ke kaupaona o 1.1 gram.
Hiki i nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel ke hānau mua me ka lōʻihi o 21 - 30 cm. ʻO nā kumu nui e make ai nā moʻo he ʻano maloʻo a me ka predation. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke ola ma mua he 5 mau makahiki, akā hiki iā lākou ke ola a 8 mau makahiki.
Hana a ka nahesa nāhelehele keeled.
ʻO nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel he arboreal a me diurnal. Noho lākou i ka pō ma nā wēlau o nā lālā lāʻau e ulu kokoke ana i ke kahakai. ʻOiai he nahesa lāʻau lākou, iho i lalo i ka pā hānai. Kūmau lākou a mai hoʻāʻo e nahu, e pale ana iā lākou iho mai kahi mea ʻino. Holo wikiwiki aku kēia mau mea kolo a hūnā i nā lau nahele e hoʻopili maikaʻi iā lākou. Ke hana nei nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel i loko o ka makahiki, koe wale no nā mahina hoʻoilo anuanu, kahi e hiamoe ana.
ʻO nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel nā nahesa noho kaʻawale, akā loaʻa ka ʻāpana like i kahi pūnana maʻamau no ka hoʻomoe ʻana.
ʻAʻole neʻe mamao aku kēia mau moʻo mai ke kahakai e ʻimi i nā meaʻai, ʻo kahi e hānai ana ma kahi o 67 m ka lōʻihi ma ke kahakai a ma kahi o 3 mau mika mai ke kahakai. Hoʻololi ka nohona ma kahi o 50 mau mika i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻIke nā maka o nā nahesa, e ʻae iā lākou e ʻike maʻalahi i ka neʻe ʻana o ka mea pio. Hoʻohana nā nahesa i ko lākou alelo e ʻike i nā kemika e ka ʻono.
Nutr o ka nahesa nāhelehele keeled.
ʻO nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel nā nahesa insectivorous a hoʻopau i nā crickets, nā ʻūhini, a me nā arachnids. I ka wā o ka hahai holoholona, hoʻohana wale lākou i kā lākou ʻike hiʻohiona, kahi maʻalahi e loaʻa i kahi mea pio pono. ʻOiai kahi neʻe iki ʻana o ka lālā o ka ʻenemi a i ʻole antennae e lawa pono e huki i ka maka o kēia mau moʻo i ka mea i hōʻino ʻia. I ka wā mua, hoʻokokoke koke nā moʻo nāhelehele keeled i kā lākou mea pio, akā ma kahi mamao ma kahi o 3 knm mai kahi mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, kūlou nui lākou i ko lākou kino, a laila hoʻopololei, kaomi i ko lākou poʻo i mua. Hāpai nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel i ko lākou poʻo i luna o ka substrate inā ua pakele ka mea pio iā lākou, a hoʻāʻo e hopu hou. Ua ale ʻia ka mea pio i ka hoʻoneʻe ʻia ʻana o nā ā.
ʻO ke kuleana kaiaolaola o ka nahesa nāhelehele keeled.
ʻO nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel ka meaʻai no nā moʻo nui, nā manu a me nā mea ʻai liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻO kā lākou pale pale kūʻē wale i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻia ʻana e nā camouflage, kahi e hūnā loa i nā mea kolo i nā mauʻu mauʻu.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
ʻO nā moʻo nāhelehele Keel he mau holoholona maʻamau, a ʻo ka hana ʻana o kēia mau nahesa e lilo i mea makemake nui ʻia no ka mea he unpretentious i nā ʻano nohona a ola i ka pio.
ʻO ke kūlana mālama o ka nahesa lāʻau keeled.
Ua helu ʻia nā lāhui keeled herbaceous ma ke ʻano he kumu i ka hopohopo liʻiliʻi. Ma muli o ke kūpaʻa ʻike o nā helu o kēia nāhesa, ʻaʻohe mea mālama e kau ʻia iā lākou.
