Greg The Uromastyx hardwicki
I know i posted pics of him but know heres some back ground info on my favorite. I bought Greg at the Londonderry PJ's Pet Centre location 2 years ago. His trip home was in one of there crummy boxes on the bus, which he figured out how to open himself and nearly excaped on the bus. Once home i settled him into the terrarium i used to have with the swinging doors in the front. I even has able to get the hide out they had for him in the store. Since then i've only had to bring him to the vets once last winter when he had stopped eating for about 3 weeks and found out he was burmating. The hibernating but awake thing>.> For me it was weird. He eats green, red, and romanine lettuce, some times mixed with bok choy, and most of the time sprinkled with finch seed. Ive tried to get him to eat crickets, but the only time ive actualy seen him eat on was when he had to spend a day or two in a box cause the front paine of glass on the new terraium got smashed by a peice of Terris canopy when i was changing terris water. Other then that one time, he seems to ignore them. He hates parsely, carrot tops and kale. I think its because of the leaves ruffelliness, either way in a salad he with eat everything but those greens. He now lives in a 20 g long terrarium that i bought so hed have more room to roam, which has gone wasted cause all does is camp on or under the two peices of driftwood. I think because of the driftwoods thickness he doesnt venture to his origanal hideout on the other side of the cage. He can just cool himself off under the driftwood. Other than that, he handles very well. He'll even ride around on your shoulder or in your clothes unless theres a fast movement that spokes him and the next thing you know hes deeking off across the floor, or grass, and once, arcoss a road. I wouldn't suggest hand feeding him though, my old roommate tried once and lost a peice of skin, didnt bleed or anything, just lost a layer of skin>.>
