Desert Iguana

[RAD House]

I have always tossed around the idea of getting a lizard but never found one that totally fit my requirements. First is I do not want to keep live crickets, roaches, or other smelly insects in my house. Next I would like a species that can be kept in an enclosure no bigger than 4'x2'. Thirdly it must be relatively easily handled. Also I do not want a species that's humidity requirements are high as I live in a dry climate. I had all but given up until I found the desert iguana. Has anyone had experience with these guys? On paper they seem to fit my wants but as we know sometimes online information can be wrong.

If you can find a captive bred baby, go for it. I think you would enjoy a Uromastyx! They require vegetable meals and need a basking spot of 125F to 130F. They are stunning lizards as well! I would get one if I was given the chance.Deer Fern Farms Uromastyx Species Page
