    Nice, didn't know Uro's ate veggies, but beardies do, so I could see it now :) You're also lucky you have it warm now! The past few days here have been suddenly cold, where before it was nice spring/summer temps! The weather is sucking lately lol, well make sure to try to get pics of your Uro's eating! I don't remember ever seeing pics or your Uro's? Though, I may just might not be remembering.

    The best knifes i'v ever had Santoku from "The Pampered Chef". I'm not sure if you know of this kitchen gadget business. My wife bought them about 5yrs ago, and they still seem new.

    They probably are pretty expensive if they were from pampered chef! Love those parties! Lol. They are a consumer based direct seller - AKA they only sell at home parties, not in stores.

    Naykid - they look so happy laying in their food bowl, lol. Mine makes SUCH A MESS OMG! I thought it was just mine, glad it's not, lol. Nice pics!

    I think the large one was only around $25, and our small was about $12. My wife hosted a party so she could get them at a discount price, but i think they are around $45,& $20 Thats all we use, just the two. When you think about it, you don't use all the knifes in a whole set, at least we don't. You can buy them seperatly. Again they are around 5yrs old, and they are like new. We use them EVERY DAY. Just find someone that sell them host a party and get a discount, or if your party sells enough you could get them for free:)

    DDF is da BoMB! I don't know very many Uro breeders, however, Doug Dix-owner of DDF-is very knowledgeable. I am sure king snake is great breeder to deal with too. My experience has been only with Doug. For example, one of my Uro's came down with pnuemonia after only 1 month of ownership and it died. He sent me a replacement free of charge! Really?!?! Who does that? Any issue or question I've had, he has been very quick to respond-either by email or phone-which I prefer the latter anyway. I highly recommend DDF to anybody looking for dry product or livestock:)

    Love em'! :p I didn't know they only ate vegs, cool! Maybe I'll get one someday, though they do need pretty high temps I hear, but that shouldn't be to hard to maintain in those nice temps in Utah! In Ohio, the weather's just been crazy! It should be spring! At least the winter wasn't very snowy, but I guess this is payback :confused: What size tank do you have them in?

    The substrate is millet. It's a kind of seed actually and they love it (at least mine does, lol). I have mine on tile because he's younger and an ornate uro but millet is a good substrate to keep them on after they are considered hatchlings.
