Mali Uromastyx (Cage/Set up)

This is just my first video of my little Uromastyx (Spud) so make sure to stay tuned for future videos of Spud as he grows and becomes more used to me and my friends. =]

The substrate in his cage is a mixture of 25%sand, 25% vermiculite, and 50% topsoil.

Also the food items i talked about in this video are by no means all of a proper Uromastyx diet, they are just a small part of a very wide variety of things that should be fed to one.

And lastly i bought him for $60 and i dont remember who i bought him from so please dont ask. If you have any questions that were not answered in the video or this description then please, feel free to ask!

my teacher has one but no uvb light all he has is a heat rock is this ok (im planing on buying him)

[jeffevens13]

@mysilentcannon88 no, they need a uv light and a different heat source. a heat rock only warms their belly and have been known to fail and burn the lizards. a heat lamp would be much better choice

hey cool uro. i was just wondering if you saw any yellow nigerian uros there. if so how much were they if you remember. thanks

[jeffevens13]

@Lounsbury91 well i have an ornate but he has uvb. it depends if u give calcium with d3

[Lounsbury91]

@mysilentcannon88 I've had my Uro for 10 years and NEVER had a uvb light. Always one or two heat lamps that are 120 degrees. Idk, I guess my liz has adapted...

[bobnbill111]

@mysilentcannon88 Well dont a heating rock can kill them

[TheMonkeybomb11]

how much was you mali uromastyx?

[shadowkill87]

for all people using laser heat thermomiters. it averages the heat of everything the thing is pointed at. so if you point it at glass intending to measure the temperature inside IT DOES NOT WORK. be smart. use a temp gun INSIDE the cage so you get INSIDE temp not GLASS temp. good luck to all reptile fans :) nice vid btw

[aw10065]

you have a lot of reptiles i have a snow corn snake shes great and how big do they get

[flashfang12]

is that a suitable cage for a adult

[KHOKHARI0001]

@mysilentcannon88 heat rocks are no good, sometimes the temperature thing will break on the inside making it really hot and burning your lizards belly
