Banded Uromastyx (Female just layed a clutch of eggs so she is a bit skinny in the pic)


We have a melanistic male as well, but I need to get some better pics of him.

I've been keeping bandeds for a bit over a year. The secret seems to be a pure vegetation diet, lots of heat, and well not much else. That seems to be it. They aren't the fastest growers from what I've seen. If it is a WC one there may be parasites.

No it is a CBB...but he seems like the same size as when I got him. Basking is about 130 and is on all veggies with ground lentils twice a week. ?? He doesn't seem to have lost any weight but geez.

I'd up the feedings a bit. If he's and adult I'd feed him at least 3X a week. Babies daily or every other day. Little buggers will eat anything in sight.
