I got a pair of Mali uros 7 years ago and they are fantastic. They do require a good bit of space and a lot of heat, but I have good results using a ceramic heater in conjunction with a basking lamp to get my temperatures up. I only have the female now and even in her teens she is full of...

Update: I did end up using shipyourreptiles. Everyone arrived safe and sound yesterday morning. I had them shipped to a FedEx hub and my boyfriend picked them up during his lunch break. They are now all settled in to their new enclosures and are doing great.

Brighton, MA I am going to be moving at the end of July and I will be getting rid of my two 40gal breeder tanks. One has a sliding screen top with good bit of wear and the other has a lift off screen top. I also have a large hood, with space 3 bulbs, a small hood, three dome lamps, and...

This is my biggest worry about shipping. I'd either have to send them to my boyfriend ahead of time because he's going to fly up to help me move. However, it seems like that's going to be the best option as I plan on getting new setups for them and selling off what I have anyway because I'm...

In July I will be moving from MA to TX. I have two leopard geckos and one mali uromastyx that will be moving with me. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should ship them or bring them in the car. My reservations about the car is that it's going to be at least 3 days. However, I'll have...

My mom wants me to "entertain the thought of getting rid of one set of lizards". She doesn't like having "all the tanks". There's 2 fish tanks, which I may combine plus one comes to school with me, my gecko tank, and my uro tank. That's it. And the herps usually leave for a whole semester at...

I've got a ten gallon tank that I recently refurnished. Natural colored stones, one large piece of driftwood, and large orange rock. Currently it's housing a male betta, 2 pygmy corydoras, a honey gourami, and a dwarf gourami. The betta displayed some territorial behavior at first, flaring...

If you have a picky cat multiple litter boxes is a great idea. We have two for my Ragdoll and they get cleaned at least twice a day.

I'd really love to eventually get a kenyan. Small, not too fast, and pretty low maintenance.

I've got mali uros and adore them. They have the funniest personalities and I love the size. Big enough to not be fragile but small enough to not be a huge space issue.

Wow, that's a lot of babies.

Lots of companies make a thermometer/hyrdometer so you can measure temps and humidity. http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/thermometers-thermostats-and-timers/-/zilla-digital-thermometer--hygrometer-with-probe/

I've got a ceramic heater and a few bulbs, can't remember how many off the top of my head. It takes a good bit of power to get that basking spot temp.

One egg was obviously bad, so now I'm down to four. Three of these had a bit of mold, I wiped it off but I'm not sure they'll make it. I wasn't really expecting them to, but at least I tried. If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it.

They're awesome lizards. I love mine. They've got the best personalities by far.
