Lizard day! Bad pics lol!
My friend and I with our little buddies.
Her little guy is Vladimir, a Uromastyx lizard.
I thought my dragon Lucious might be a bit aggressive towards another lizard but he wasn't. He was a very good boy and we had a great time.
I really need to get Lucious a larger harness. His chubby little self has grown out of 2 sizes so far!
The pictures are terrible because my friends little girl took them all with a cell phone but they're still cute :)

You should. They are a lot of fun. I don't take him out much so usually when I do, he stays very dark but today he was happy the whole time. He showed off his nice yellows and oranges and totally ignored the uro when ran up to check him out. I happy he had a good time :)

Sometimes I think about getting a Bearded, I think I probably will when I finish studying and I can afford all the stuff they need! I've always thought it's cool to see them look over their shoulder, they look like they mean business!!
Cool pics, what kind of lizard is the other one, I know you give the name, but is it a kind of monitor or some thing totally different, it likes like one of the dinosaurs from the land before time, lol.

"The Uromastyx is a genus of lizard whose members are better-known as Spiny-tailed lizards, uromastyxs, mastigures, or dabb lizards. Uromastyx are primarily herbivorous, but occasionally eat insects, especially when young. They spend most of their waking hours basking in the sun, hiding in underground chambers at daytime or when danger appears. They tend to establish themselves in hilly, rocky areas with good shelter and accessible vegetation."
"Uromastyx inhabit a range stretching through most of North Africa, the Middle East and across south-central Asia and into India.[3] This area spreads across 5000 miles and 30 countries. They occur at elevations from sea level to well over 3000 feet. They are regularly eaten, and sold in produce markets, by local peoples. Uromastyx tend to bask in areas with surface temperatures of over 120 °F."
So they have only slightly different requirements than beardies. They also feel much different. They are very smooth and silky everywhere except for the tail. They have a very knobby tail. My friend likes them because they have cute little parrot/turtle faces.
