These reptiles are currently only available in our Stockport, Fort Kinnaird and New Malden stores. Please contact these stores directly to check for availability before travelling.Uromastyx are relatively easy lizards to keep, and can make great pets for older children and adults. They are medium-sized lizards, but usually quite easy to handle and have lots of character. Smaller Uromastyx can be delicate so younger children must be supervised when handling them. These lizards are diurnal, which means they are active during the day, and can live for around 15+ years. They do not need a great deal of space and their needs can be easily met in any modern home. There are a number of different species of Uromastyx and their maximum size of around 85 cm can be achieved within about 12-18 months for some forms of Uromastyx, the more commonly kept Uromastyx species will reach a maximum length of 30 cm.
A healthy Uromastyx will be bright eyed, active and searching for food during the day and have strong legs.
All vets have a basic understanding of reptiles but those with a specialist interest are worth seeking out. Insurance against unexpected veterinary costs is available in just the same way as it is for cats and dogs.
If your pet shows any signs of being unwell contact your vet as soon as possible.
