Uromastyx stuff....

[Mike]

well i recently fell in love with this species. i was walking around the reptile store like it was a zoo (or maybe like i was a kid in a candy store) and i saw this pair of mali uros. i never realized how cool they really were until i saw them in person. ANYWAYS....
i would like to buy a pair or a trio...where is a good place to get them? i would like to get adults, or at least juveniles. i would just buy them from the reptile store but they were exactly the best looking. (they were healthy, just kind of dull)
has anyone ever done business with Diamond Reptile Breeders? they have of adults there. they could be gone already and im pretty sure they are imported but that can all be taken care of.
so what i need is a good place to buy some uromastyx. anybody have any ideas? ive got a gigantic cage just waiting for a group!

HI Mike,
Uro's are a wonderful species to keep.
You would be best off (in my opinion) purchasing a CB animal
Here is a wonderful breeder that I always reccomend:

You may want to consider (if you have never had a uro before) only purchasing one. If you buy three, remember they may not live together copaseticly (they are not social animals by nature), and you may end up with fights and having to purchse three seperate enclosures, uv lights, heat lights etc. Remember how much heat they need, whatever room you house three different uro tanks in will be rediculously hot..lol

Hope this helps

Remember. You can also always adopt a uro. Let me know if you wish to go this route. I can help find you one that needs a good home
Thanks
