I have a uromastyx lizard, There really fun to watch and they make good pets. They take a little time to tame but there not aggressive in anyway (there just a bit skittish and a little shy). They don't bite and they can become quite tame after regular handling.
There very easy to keep! They generally eat salad - being 95% herbivorous and 5% insectivorous, fresh salad is needed everyday - And twice weekly vitamin suppliment should be added to food for growth and vitamins.
Ideal salad :
- Florette Crispy Salad
OR
- Italian Salad
Other food which can also be used is:
- Lentils (twice weekly)
Below are all foods which you can use along side Florette /Italian salad -Amount depending on how many uromastyx you have:
- Lambs lettuce
- Brittish wattercress
- Wild rocket
- Clover
- Broccoli
- Peas
- Sweetcorn
- Finely grated Carrot
A small handfull of Florette/Italian Salad with a little bit of the obove if you want to add a variety for your uromastyx diet.
Heating:
These guys like it hot!
- Ambient temperature of at least 90 F .
- With a basking temperature between 110 - 120 F.
- Night time - 70 - 75 F
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THIS SPECIES, AS IT IS NEEDED TO HELP METABOLISE CALCIUM FROM ITS DIET. WITHOUT THIS THE LIZARD WILL DEVELOPE METABOLIC BONE DISEASE AND THIS WILL RESULT IN DEATH.
- A UV tube at least half the length of the vivarium is required to allow multiple basking areas. Repti-glo 10% tubes are required. The lizard needs to be able to get within 6 - 8 inches to gain full effects.
