Help with a species??????

I saw a new lizard I mihgt be interest in. I am not sure of the name or spelling to reseach it though. The guy called it a "Euromax"? I am sure someone knows what this is.

Is this it Lars?

Uromastyx? Something like this: http://urotopia.com/index2.html ?

EDIT: LOL....Daniel, you found a much closer source than I did. Shame on me for not checking our own documents first! :P

Yep that is it. The pet store is wanting $60 for it. It is all black and seemed very tame. The guy pulled him out for us for a minute. I am thinking of getting him.

Uromastyx are very popular lizards. Usually very sweet. Not sure but I think they eat a lot like bearded dragons do.

I have 3 uro's...they are incredibly awsome pets. pretty much the same personality/appetite like a beardie...what kind of uro is it? unless its a certain kind i dont know of they are usually not supposed to be black. I work in a pet store and we had someone bring back a uro they bought from us and he had totally changed color to black because he was very ill.

yeah find out the latin name...

if it's a Uromastyx benti, then i'd pass... but if it's U. acanthinurus, then that's a killer deal!

I have an Algerian Uromastyx. Its very tame and eats leafy greens daily and crickets a few times a week. I paid 80, so if it looks healthy, its a great deal!!

I have a mali uro. He eats the same things my dragons eat. They can be great animals to have actually. But it is my understanding that unless you buy from a REPUTABLE breeder, you are most likely getting an import out of a pet shop. Mine was an import. He was rather light in color when I got him, but as he has gotten older, he is pretty dark, I would not say black, but he is dark. He is not the most friendly either. A friend of mine has a mali or two he got from one of the big breeders, and he got them as youngins' and his are sweet. So I would say the younger you get it the better. If you are unsure of its origin, I would PLAN on getting a fecal done, as mine came to me with problems b/c of being an import. Also, dont let size fool you, because I was told at the time I purchased mine, he was not any older than 6 months (at approx. 6 or 7 inches long), but in the 2 years or so I have had him now, he really has only grown a couple of inches even with good feeding. So he is not as big as most of the literature I have found on them. Size is just not a good indication of age I think.

Looking back at how my mali came to me, I wish I had known what I know now and gone through a reputable breeder, because in all honesty, he was a $60 animal at the store, but cost me another $150 plus in vet bills. I could have taken my money and gotten a young uro from a reputable breeder and had a better experience and an animal I did not have to try to acclimate to captivity plus treat for parasites, who is not as friendly as I would have liked. This does in no way mean I dont like my uro, in fact I love him, but it was a heck of a roller coaster starting out with him to get to the point he is today.
