i find this better than the expertvillage video. I'm not saying that expertvillage is a bad group to get info from, just saying the video they made for uromastyx isn't as informative as this video

@nickelback2727 Well you're never going to be able to perfectly replicate the environment of any particular species. That being said the rule of thumb is width equal to the length of the animal and length twice that. So with your tank you could fit a 2 foot lizard.

@Tensai1982 Sorry, but I beg to differ. We'll have to agree to disagree. They come from the desert and they don't have a 50 gal. tank in the desert. I ended up buying him a 48" L x 24" W x 24" T tank and he is very happy. If you read about these lizards, they are terrestrial, they do not climb up like a chameleon, they NEED LxW (area) to their tank.

@nickelback2727 wasting your money, you are completely wrong

Im going to a reptile show sometime soon and want to try and get a uromastyx. I have a custom built 48" L 48" H 24" enclosure that im going to cut the top off of o make it a 48" L 24" H 24" W. Will this be large enough for a single uromastyx possibly 2 maybe but probably not.

@Yakuzagang5 u dun goofs notice how he says "asnd there whole life." I point out "There vegetarains," the "wont," also what I was just saying Which putting "They're" on both wouldn't work thats like trying to say "They are vegetarians," which works, but then going... "They can be on sand they are whole life." I'm sorry bro, you failed more. ;-;-b

[Yakuzagang5]

@pikapacker Wow super fail. You try to make fun of the guy, but you fail miserably. The first is supposed to be they're* not their.

FAIL

Putting all the decorations aside, could we possibley use modeling clay to make the hide-boxes, Heating rocks, or other items? I can't find anything about it, just clay-sand for the uro's to dig in.
