    Hello, im thinkin bout getting a uromastyx ..but prolly in a couple months, but i know nothing about them so here are some questions i have..


    What size enclosure is best..perhaps what gallon tank is best

    What do they eat..and how much

    do they require a water bowl in there tank? do they need mistings?

    Are they nice and non aggressive?

    Do they need special lighting or heating or anything?

    what substrate( sp) is best


    Any tips will be great, thanks!

    enclosures bigger the better i would say a 75 gallon, they are veggitarians greens only but they will eat an occasional insect not neccessary though. you can mist them they dont really need a water dish get most of there water through greens but can have water dishes. mistings ok. they are a little shy but over time wont mind come out and hanging around. uv lights and heatlights. non-adhesive shelf liner or washed screened playsand or papertowels w/e.
