I got a male on trade for a uromastyx at my local shop. This boy is always friendly and imo liked me. :-D
I was told that he came in with a batch of reds but only some of them were red. I was told that he is anery. This is coming from a pet store and I know better than to rely on only one person's word. He is nonetheless a sweet handsome boy!
I was told that he is about a year old, at 18" does that seem appropriate?
He was fed mainly crickets but took the ground turkey well. He also had some superworms and pinkies today.
I am using the reptical calcium w/o d3 by zoomed as suggested on the caresheet.
His temps are 105 on the basking area and 80 on the cool side. Humidity is 70%.
He has a hide, one large branch to use as a ladder to a low basking area that also serves as a hide and the largest water bowl that I could find.
He is on coco husk substrate in a 75g aquarium until I get my enclosure built. I'm having it built into my closet which is 6x3. I will also have an outdoor enclosure built for the summer. I am in VA so it gets too cold to keep him outdoors year round.
I let him swim in the bathtub today and he liked it a lot!
I don't feed in the enclosure as I read thoroughly the care sheets, taming the beast etc.. Those are great btw!!!
I do have some cell phone pictures of him, not the best quality but I will get more!
This is him on my shirt in his enclosure.
This is him sleeping on my arm. I wasn't very comfortable but he was so I waited for him to get up before moving him.
Any advice or criticism is appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!
