My new Uromastyx

[MarshallsMom]

I have a Saharan, so I'm hoping he colors up. I saw his baby picture; he's too cute.
I like the size of the Egyptians, too. I think I want a large lizard someday, so it'd be either that or a Savannah Monitor. The Egyptians are prettier in color than the SAvannahs.
Just out of curiosity, how much was the Ornate?
What other lizards do you have?

The savannah monitor has been a dream reptile of mine for a long time, not only for their size, but also their attitude (assuming it is well socialized and handled). I would imagine they are more expensive to feed since they are carnivores, and also need a larger enclosure than an Egyptian uro.
I think the ornate at the expo was around $250. Its not a terrible price in general, but it is given my current school status. They had a breeding male there as well that was not for sale, and was possibly the most beautiful reptile I've ever seen. I wish I had taken pictures.
As far as my cold-blooded family, I current house my Mali Uro, a bearded dragon, a veiled chameleon, and an African Bullfrog. I love my frog, but I will always be a lizard person. Definitely the coolest animals on earth.

Absolutely! I haven't kept lizards in years, I'm glad to be getting back into them.
