Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

uromastyx setup
im thinking about getting 2 baby nigerian uromastyxs but im not sure how big of a tank i should keep them in. i was told a 40 breeder would be big enough for the two of them when full grown but others have told me thats too small.. id like to hear some some uro owners so i can take proper care of the cute little guys.
thanks

My first uros were "Nigerians," which is a misleading name. This species isn't even native to Nigeria. The more correct name is Saharan uromastyx. (sorry...pet peeve of mine when people call them that!)
Starting out, a 40-gal breeder is great. Given that this species stays smaller then most Uros (13" or less), I would say a 40-gal is the bare minimum size, although larger (75 gal?) would be better.
Like most Uros, keep them hot and keep them dry!
As far as diet, I fed mine a mixture of:
- pre-mixed "Spring Mix" salad (be sure to remove spinach leaves)
- kale
- commercial tortoise diet
- finch/canary seed
- ground-up 15-bean soup mix left in a dish 24/7
