My Uromastyx

[tricksterpup]

Ok folks, I got this guy a few years ago, he was badly dehydrated and thin. We did not think he was going to make it. We fostered him and then got him from our herp society.
I keep him on a bed of Rabbit Pellets.

He is going into shed. We pulled off that piece of skin off his nose.

Some natural light shots in the house.

Back shot.

I want one of these so bad. They're so creepy and ugly that they're really cute. Yours has a really cute face.

Really nice Uro! I've always wanted one of these guys. What species is he? Egyptian, Mali, Sudan?

I feed him his standard greens and millet. He is also kept on a bed of Rabbit pellets. He also eats this as well.

He is a Mali. I wish we had an Egyptian, they get big as Cats.

Egyptians are nice but Mali's have gorgeous breeding colors.

Have you ever seen some of the Uros that Deer Fern Farms breeds?

Oh yeah, i go there often but there are just to many to get. lol
Since i mainly focus on snakes, I just do not have the time for more lizards. lol

I would love to get a Chuckwalla from them though. Those are really cool.

I love your Uro, he looks nice and fat. I remember seeing about 20 of these as babies at a LFS, it felt weird grabbing theseguys because they would always want to scamper up your arm.

I am thinking about getting a Uro...

I've done some research.

Are they friendly to handle? I am used to handling my adult beardie, who is very sweet.
