Why Uromastyx are better than bearded dragons

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Today I talk about spiny tailed lizards and whether I think they're underrated, are better than other lizards and a bit about themselves. They're a species that loves heat more than most other animals and can go with almost no water. The Uromastyx in this video was shipped in by someone who could no longer keep it, so you get to see an example of a slightly more beat up, lethargic spiny tail. What do you think about them?

    I adopted one from a fellow leaving town last fall and she quickly became my favorite lizard. To the point I just adopted a male ornate as well. I love them. When they're set up properly, they're extremely active and once used to you can be pretty outgoing and curious. I can hand-feed both of mine their favorite treats and I definitely wouldn't call them 'boring'. If they're kept too cold, then yeah they'll be boring 'cuz they'll literally spend all their time under their heat trying to get warm, or hiding. They can be pretty nervous in new surroundings/new cages for the first couple weeks after a move, so yeah they will be skittish and hide away a lot and seem 'boring', but I swear, once they're settled in, they are amazing lizards.

    Problem with using seeds as substrate, is some uros will just eat them constantly and end up getting obese.... They're also very likely ingesting their fecal matter and urine while doing so, as it's harder to spot clean when they poo and then proceed to fling it all over the place as they start to run around and dig. This can contribute to parasite overloads if your Uro's got any to begin with. Soil/Sand mixture of about 50/40 is a better option.

And therefor they actually don't smell which I think it's amazing! Their stomach etc is not made for insects... It's really not recommended to feed them live food. Also they aren't supposed to have water in their enclosure because that can give them ... "Tail rot" I think it's called in English.. Else than that I love your videos! :3

    Love the video. Only thing I'd argue with is personality. It's definitely true that Uro's don't usually come right into your home ready to interact with you. They make you work for it for months. But after time, they definitely start to open up a lot more and show their uniqueness off. Mine is incredibly lovey and even a bit of a grump when he doesn't get his way (cutting back on favorite snacks for healthier choices, etc.) He will, quite literally, turn his back to me and refuse to look at me because I want him to eat his healthy veggies. Lol

    Looks like a female, they typically have a fair amount of color variation. :) That one is kind of potate. But the male I had for years and year was awesome. They pay attention to you, they do interact. I ended up cutting a window in the side of the background so my Uro could peek out at me when I was on the computer. They are goofy. I far prefer them over beardies, and I've had several beardies. Thus far it's actually been my favorite of all the lizards I've kept.

    That name is actually adorable when you think about their faces. When it comes to reptiles, I'm more into snakes, especially boas, rainbow boas and anacondas. Probably bc they're strong, beautiful and native to where I live (Brazil), but lizards are great too! My personal favorites are teigus, they're amazing

    Alex, you are a very educated/good hearted young lad from the videos I have seen so far, which believe it or not is a rarity in the current times. I wish I had gotten into herpetology at your age, as I didn't know I'd have such a burning passion for reptiles later in life and I'd know a whole heck of a lot by now. Thank you for your channel and for taking care of animals and teaching others as well. You rock! Take care of those teeth. I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed at once when I was 16 and they were all impacted (below gumline) so they cut giant craters in my mouth. I had blood streaming down my cheeks all day the first and halfway through the second day haha. My mother left me in the van (I look a lot like her) while she parked at CVS to get my medicine, an old lady from our church came up to me thinking I was her and said Hi how are you? I was still under the influence and my head wobbled as I turned towards her saying HOWS IT LOOK LIKE?! With blood streaming down my face. I was told she ran to her car, and she told my mom the story at church later. Be well :)🤘

    I did a lot of research on my Uro (named Colonel Mustard) and live in AZ. I use my rocky soil as substrate. I learned that the seed substrate can cause obesity. I’m fortunate that I can feed him things I am growing such as aloe, hibiscus, and some native bushes that are similar to its native environment. He is skittish. But I like his little ‘tude’. It suits him. 🥰

    "Chuckwalla and Uromastyx" group on Facebook is about the best group you'll find for their care. With a lot of these high desert species, you cannot get away with the same care as a bearded dragon, they are really different and many of them will not thrive or even survive without loose substrate (obviously not calci sand, but regular sand/soil mixtures). They also need much larger enclosures as the hot spot usually requires 2-4 regulated bulbs to achieve, and that makes a bigger hot side and they need more space for a temperature gradient. Chucks and Uros definitely aren't a species to get into without doing a ton of research from actual reputable keepers/breeders of them, they are expensive to set up, feed, and light.

    Hi, mali uromastyx owner here! It looks like the one you've got there could be a moroccan uromastyx, looks more male in shape. My mali, Link, is one uro that alternates between being super hyper and very chill. If you want to see your uros go crazy, give them bee pollen or dandelions. Link goes crazy when he hears the shake of the bee pollen jar. I personally LOVE the chubby cheeks of uros, and when you look close enough, it looks like the curve of their mouth is a little smile. Another thing I love about uros is how the color on their back brightens when they bask, ornates look especially gorgeous. Uros are definitely underrated and are VERY adorable and perfect to cuddle, and their vegetarian diet is pretty easy to handle. For anyone who does want to learn more about uros, two books I highly recommend are "Uromastyx Pls Other Common Agamids" by Jerry G. Wells or if you have a bigger budget for books "Uromastyx: Natural History, Captive Care, Breeding" by Thomas Wilms.

    It’s really not suggested to use seed substrate for uromastyx since their waste gets mixed in with the seeds and they’ll ingest the contaminated seeds. This uromastyx also seems to be about to shed his tail (their tails go paler when it’s about to shed). Uromastyx geyris are generally always wild caught but there are plenty of captive bred animals going around.

    One thing about uros it that if you do give them soaks, dry their tails really really thoroughly because they can get tail rot easily due to moisture. Thats why its better to not give them a water bowl so they dont accidentally get it wet and cant dry it well enough.
