摘要

壁虎豹(Eublepharis macularius)于1854年由英国爬虫学家爱德华·布莱斯(Edward Blyth)首次描述。它是最受欢迎的宠物蜥蜴物种之一，因为它性情温顺，易于维护和繁殖，寿命长，体型小，颜色和图案的美丽和多样性。紫外线辐射是一种重要的行为调节剂。维生素D还调节脊椎动物的许多基本生理功能，主要是钙稳态。由于爬行动物种类繁多，适应环境的范围也很广，因此了解每个物种在紫外线、维生素D和钙的需求方面的必要性和适应性是很重要的。本研究概述了豹壁虎的生活方式，以及紫外线辐射、维生素D和钙对该物种的重要性。

The lifestyle of the leopard gecko and the importance of ultraviolet radiation, vitamin D and calcium

The gecko leopard (Eublepharis macularius) was first described in 1854 by British herpetologist Edward Blyth. It is one of the most popular pet lizard species, due to its docile temperament, ease of maintenance and reproduction in captivity, its high longevity and small size, and its beauty and diversity of colours and patterns. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is an important behavioural regulator. Vitamin D also regulates many fundamental physiological functions in vertebrates, mainly calcium homeostasis. Because of the great diversity of reptile species and the wide range of environmental adaptations, it is important to know the necessities and adaptations of each species regarding UV, vitamin D and calcium requirements. This study provides an overview of the leopard gecko’s lifestyle, and the importance of ultraviolet radiation, vitamin D and calcium for this species.
