Calcifer the Uro - Happy colors!

[Beardednoob]

Crazy thing, Gaulam went into a slight (3 week) sleeping almost everyday all day, hardly eating but, has now come out of that and shed again. What an odd lizard. LOL :wink:

I really can't wait to show off his new enclosure. Pictures should be up friday night!

Pretty Uros! My boyfriend has two, but they are black and yellow...not too sure what the specific type is haha I would love to own one or two but I heard they live 40 + years! :shock:

Typically if the Uro was bought from a pet shop, black and yellow would indicate being Saharan. The Uros which live longer, not sure about 40+ years but, that would most likely be a Egyptian Uro. :wink:
My Uro (Gaulam) is a Saharan Yellow

Thanks a load Tracie for unlocking this thread for the second time! I owe ya one.

Well everyone. I'm back with more pictures, which will be up eventually today lol.

I took pictures awhile back that I haven't posted yet when I redid calcifers cage that I need to show you guys first to see what you all think about it.
I also noticed calcifers tail has started to shed today. Its very cool looking because I've never seen his tail in shed before.

Pictures will be up before bedtime

Looking forward to the pics also! :wink: Just wondering Brandon, how many reptiles do you have and also, what kinds do you have?

Someone said earlier about them looking like a turtle without a shell, I was thinking the exact same thing =O

I don't think my Uro looks like a "shelless" turtle? Well maybe just a bit. :wink:

 

[Claudiusx]

well, maybe if Calicfer was a big fat boy he might look like a turtle with no shell

Don't worry guys, just a few errands to run ( new laptop doesn't have an sd reader... llol)
And the pics will be up ASAP.

Hey, I was just looking at your thread and thought your uro is really cool! I've looked into them before like at deerfernfarms but I was just wondering your personal opinion. Which do you like better, beardie, or uro? Also which is harder to care for, I know Uros are herbivores which is pretty cool. How easy would it be if beardies only needed plants ? I'm not really planning on getting one, I was just further interested in Uros by your thread.

My reply:
Hey there Samus! Thanks for the interest in the thread!

I can't say which i like better because I love Calcifer and I also love beardies.
The easier pet, imo, is a uro. As long as you can get the basking temperature up pretty high, they are pretty easy to care for. They are much harder to get them comfortable in your hand, Unlike a beardie. If you want a pet you can cuddle with, beardies are definitely easier. My uro has never attacked me, he has never even opened his mouth at me, but he is not the cuddling type. and from talking to other owners, uros aren't really the cuddling type and it takes much more time to get them to that point.

Hmm my Uro will open his mouth at me anytime he feels like it.. LOL I am still waiting on the pictures too, can't go to bed till Brandon gets the pics up. :wink: Oh and Gaulam has bit me once, it didn't hurt but it did put a small shallow scratch in my finger nail. :shock:
