What do ya think?

[reptilez]

I'm so used to seeing the dark ones....this one has very different colouring, which i like.. i love ther tails.

[JIMI]

crazy colours

[Leo-Land]

Yea, I think I like the Nigerians the best. They come in yellow AND red! I would have got a red one, but this one was the most active and alert. He also seemed the most healthy. I've grown to love his yellow color! And the best part is, they keep getting brighter and brighter with age! The yellow all but takes over the darker green areas!

Nice pics! Hes pretty.

[snakemann87]

Hey. I finally get to see the Uro you were telling me about so much. Hes REALLY pretty. If you don't mind what did you pay for him? I'm just wondering cause I've never seen those for sale.

[nicola_boulton]

in England u can only get yellow ones!! For about £80

[Leo-Land]

I paid $50USD for him at the Tampa Reptile show. The only problem now is, he has an eye infection! It must have been picked up at the show! I've ordered Terramycin and it should get here in a few days. That will clear the infection up in a matter of days.

Hey check out the colors on the uromastyx from Deer Fern Farms:

I have a mali uro and he is such a rascal...still tiny and currently just has the tan and browns for babies to blend into the bush with

[Leo-Land]

yea, I go to that site a lot. There is tons of great care info for the different spieces of uromastyx there. If you click on the Nigerian link, you can see how my uro will look when it becomes an adult.

[Burmies]

Nice, but I am a snake collector.

Ohh, very nick uros! A quick question, I hear that uros LOVE dandelions but I cannot seem to find any ANYWHERE around my house. Is there any place to buy these? I would like to give them as a treat.

I had never thought there was a place where dandelions (in Dutch... Paardenbloemen) did not grow.
Just saw you live in Florida. Are there no dandelions in Florida??

I don´t think you can buy them anywhere, at least, in Holland you cannot buy them.

I cannot seem to find ANY at all! I'm sure they grow here, I just cannot find any. Maybe I'll search for some tomorrow.

[snakemann87]

How is he doing? the last i remember you were treating him for an eye infection if i can remember??

[Emily-Fisher]

Oooh! So amazingly beautiful! Great color :)

[matt_winter]

Thats a cool picture how much you pay for it?

[Tara Garratt]

Beautiful uro. I can't wait to get mine. The more I read about them, the more convinced I become that every home NEEDS a Uro. Please keep those pictures coming!

What is his temperment like?

If you have garden space, you can buy pkgs. of dandelion seeds. They grow quite easily. The drawback is that they go everywhere, and you won't be popular with the neighbours. If you lived closer I would be happy to keep you supplied in dandelions, my yard is always full of them and we don't use any poisons so they are safe for creatures to eat.

His temperment is a little skiddish now that he is in his new cage.. but once he gets used to it, he will settle down. Some people's uros are as tame as beardies. What kind of Uromastyx are you getting?

I got 4 acres of woods so maybe I can get some seeds and throw them in my back woods. That wouldn't harm anything.. about how long does it take for them to grow?

Oh, here's a newer pic

She realy is pretty

[Tara Garratt]

I would really like to get Moroccans, but I am not having lots of luck finding them in Canada. The Mali also sounds great, and I have made contact with some breeders. In the end I may be happier with Malis anyway, as they are reported to be "less nippy." That said, I still have not abandoned my quest for Moroccans. You never know, maybe in time I will have both.

That last picture is beautiful. It shows the colour very well. Keep those pictures coming.

While walking to the desert area by my house (Where I go herping sometimes), I found a hole huge grove of dandelions! I picked about 7 and brang them home. My uro went INSANE for them! Right when I put them in, he went after them. It was like he knew what they were! I think I will be getting a lot of these from now on!

[Alphonzo]

I don´t think they will find them in the wild, so the chances are small that they know them. :confused:
I think they react on the yellow color.
Probably there are yellow flowers in their habitat which are eaten by them.
My acanthinura see from a distance of 3-4 meters that I have some dandelions for them in my hand. Immediately they come to the window of the terrarium. And when I open it they jump at the flowers as if they haven´t had food for a week :p

Yeah, you can say that they love them.

By the way, they love daisy´s also. But I do not know if they grow in your surroundings.
