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.
Hi guy's
Just picked up a 6-7 month old baby ornate uromastyx yesterday
she is wild as can be but I guess its normal for a new environment
I was hoping that some day soon I would be able to hold her etc.
I'm looking for (some day), a tame friendly Lizard
Have I made a mistake
Or should I be patient and work extra hard to get used to me
If a mistake, should I consider a Bearded Dragon as a more friendly hand-able Lizard ?
Or another type if you could suggest
Appreciate your help in advance
Congratulations Roman. At 6-7 months I would not overreact to "wild" behavior - they can calm down considerably with age and with occasional handling. Bearded dragons are generally among the most easy to handle species, but my understanding is that uromastyx are on the calmer side as well (I've never kept one but I've spent some time with them). Even with bearded dragons, you can end up with a wild or aggressive one. Patience is key and you will have to work at it no matter what type of lizard you choose. If you make sure you are providing a great environment that meets all the needs, and give the animal time to adjust to its new surroundings, then you will be in good shape. Also consider that your animal will be more energetic during the daytime and you can attempt the handling practice toward evening when they are more subdued and less likely to act out.
I had that issue with my female. Try hand feeding their favorite foods. For instance my male goes nuts for bee pollen and my female really likes soft herbivore bites. It's all about building trust.
