New Uromastyx!

[BruinsFab]

That's awesome! I am always looking on Kijiji for uro's looking for a home in my area. Maybe one day!

Gordo is totally at home in his enclosure now. He no longer glass dances to escape!! He still runs around like a nut.. but less climbing the sides now.

He looks great! Glad to hear he's comfortable in his home!!

Can anyone tell if Gordo is a boy or girl? I have been told to look at head shape.. but I have no idea what im looking for.

Great looking uro and set up.

As far as sexing goes, you can sex them the same way you can bearded dragons. Bending the tail up and looking for either two lumps, or one lump. The latter being indicative of a female.

I read about the head shape thing at first, and for years thought Calcifer was a guy based on it. Until one day I decided I'd lift.... her... tail. :mrgreen:

No wonder it took me so many years to get her tame! :lol:

New Gordo Pics!

Gordo got to hang out outside!

How did he like his time outside?? Wow that is a huge pen. What are the dimensions?

 

[Spikeshuman]

It is 4 feet square. It looks extra big because hes extra small! He was very scared outside.. so we did it a few times but I have not done it since. I wanted to wait until he was back to his normal self.. and he seems to be doing really well in the last week.. sadly we have not had enough sun to take him back out. It has been in the 80s and cloudy.
