What are these??
Hey I don't know much about lizards, so this might be in the wrong section. But i saw these at a pet store today and they caught my eye. They weren't labeled, and when I asked the guy what they were he said he'd go find out...But he was obviously the "reptile" guy - Shouldn't he know? Shouldn't they be labeled? Anyway I walked out when he went to find out. The pictures aren't the greatest, through dirty glass on a cellphone.

Re: What are these??
Thanks everyone, The first one did look pretty lethargic. But I do like the color, as for the second one...If I was going to tell a 10 year old what it was I wouldn't say Uromastyx...So, lol....In layman's terms?? And whats up with the tail, is that esthetic, or used for defense, or what? I have quite a few snakes on my wish list, and lizards are creeping up on me...Oh no..

Re: What are these??
I like to think of it as "Euro-mas-tix". The reference to Europe always helped me. And I believe that tail can be used to whip.
