I have a yellow geyri who is domestic raised. He is amazing. I worked for months to build a relationship with my Lenny James. Everytime I went to the pet store I asked the clerk if I could hold him and would spend a lot of time holding him. I do not regret my decision getting Lenny. I love him so much.
Uromastyx is by far the best reptile as a pet aside tortoises.. they eat veggies and are super friendly and can even remember their owners face and voice
I've had my boy Bubba ( Mali uro) for 23 years now and out of all my babies by far my oldest and favorite!!
This has helped me to finally decide fully to wait a few more years to get this amazing species. Great video man, the complete lack of info and debates on said info has made it ROUGH to be able learn about their needs.
This is hella underrated nice video and very informative
I really appreciate that and thank you for watching!
Love that video! Subscribed!
I just watched your video and you just helped me make up my mind about getting one
bruh you’re cool af i subbed
I’ve been having the worst time finding information on these guys. This was super helpful! Tysm! 🖤
Glad you got something out of it! Thanks for watching!
Try dav kauffman hes informative as well he goes to the reptiles native habitat to ensure we have the proper knowledge on how to care for these amazing animals
@@RedRibbonReptilesu have amazing tips too btw
@@RedRibbonReptilesmy favorite lizard to have as a pet is a bearded dragon, never had a uromastyx but pretty sure theyre as easy to keep as a beardie since they both are from the desert but for some reason these guys require hotter than beardies, since beardies like 85 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit basking where this species needs a 120 degree so damn bit of a jump on temperature for sure, at least the uromastyx can stand heat up to 120 so overheating health problems are less common in them since they can stand it hotter
@@seansgamingchannel4639 I have 4 bearded dragons 😍. I’ve a video of Oscar my OG dragon on my channel. Bearded dragons ARE my favorite kind of reptile. I love dav Kauffman I didn’t know he did an episode on Uros I’ll look it up. (: appreciate you.
Informative.
I miss you brother💪🏽💪🏽
Great video. Arids Only is owned by Phillip Lietz. He breeds ornates,, Thomas and (?) He spends time socializing them as well. His gorgeous blue ornate are fascinating. And I am totally in awe of his big Egyptian. Lots of videos on You Tube.
Great video thank you! I am considering picking up a pair of young brother and sister tomorrow.
Thanks for watching! Good luck with them!
I like your vids. You have me wanting a uromastyx.
Thanks for watching!
I am in Ontario Canada. Will need to see where to get one.
Just curiosity, but if I had a dedicated pet room with a sandbox in it and the proper heating requirements, could one just roam around like a cat?
I don’t know if it’s a great idea just because they can squeeze in tight places and if it’s under like 80 degrees Fahrenheit they slow way down and may not find the energy to get to their heat!
I really really really want one, I’m still not sure how to feed it. I have bad memory. I need a chart or list of what to feed it so I never forget.
There are som high quality, filler free tortoise diets out there that make a great staple! Things like Timothy and alfalfa hay. Even millet seed! And of course some things like mustard and dandelion greens and squash as healthy treats!
Mansa musa is a great name
Thank you! We thought so too😂
Do they bite
Buy captive bred, and ask for proof of it from breeder. Do your research and ask the reptile community to find a quality breeder .
Always the best choice
What do you use for your top substrate?
He’s on play sand! Recently I added some top soil but I’m not sure how I feel about it. I think I prefer straight sand!
6:57 my cat looks a lot like this one
Check you system
What’s up??
Is this one full grown?
He’s definitely an adult size but reptiles grow throughout their lives. His species, the Saharan Uromastyx (uromastyx geyri), won’t get a whole heck of a lot bigger than him though on average!
I can't believe you said he's mouth looks like a chupacabra🤣🤣🤣
TELL ME I’M WRONG!😂😂
ur wondering why it’s moving sm in ur hand it’s bc ur talking w ur hands while ur holding it 💀
I’m Italian I can’t help it. That’s how we talk!😂 he gets jittery even when we’re perfectly still. Lol
Moving so much I got dizzy trying to look at the lizard. 🤢
Where did you get him??? I’ve been looking for one just like him.
We actually came across him in a Facebook group!
