So, How many of you own Uromastyx?

Well my boyfriend has 5 Mali Uromastyx's. So you can say our reptile room gets pretty hot with all those high temps for them. lol

Here is the adult male:

The adult male and female:

The other three are a little camera shy. One is a male juvie and the other two are still babies. Anytime you go into the reptile room they run under their rocks. Of course my boyfriend doesn't handle them so they have never really gotten used to us. But the two adults just love us. They know we come to bring them food. lol

Personally I don't find them attractive at all.

I hear ya on the heat !!! My dining room has 4 Enclosures with Uro's and Beardies in them along with 2 snake tanks with lights. It's like a sauna in there.

Just a note ... Uro's shouldn't be fed Corn or Carrots... too much sugar and can cause digestive problems. Also, no canned or frozen veggies. They should be fed Endive, Escarole, Dandelion Leaves, bok Choi, Mustard Greens, Turnip greens and pesticide free edible flowers. Just FYI

Thanks, but he knows now. That was taken shortly after getting those two. I guess I should have put a side note under the picture. Funny thing is every time we go grocery shopping we get some greens, and the cashiers never know what the heck the stuff is. We'll be like it's escarole or endive or whatever and they'll give us a funny look. Then we get an even funnier look when we tell them it's for our reptiles. :D

But thanks for mentioning it as someone else might not have known. :gj:

Ha Ha !!! I have to tell my cashier what it is too, they usually ask me what I am going to make and I say "Lizard salad" :rofl: .. but in these hard times economically, $2.99 a bunch for endive and escarole, is outrageous, so I let them ring them up as 'greens' for .99 a bunch ! LOL I know, it's bad :colbert:
