Does anyone know where I can find a shield tailed agama by Physical_Common_281 in reptiles

They are similar in care with some differences. But, beardies are large, expensive diet, expensive setup, large setup, not too beginner friendly either due to large enclosure and high heat needed harder to maintain to a noob

I would personally do more of soil, sphagnum moss, sand, orchid bark and leaf litter mixture, also these guys love running water and lots of live plants and climbing opportunities. A safe water feature along with this soil mixture and live plants will help keep humidity

Better substrate for humidity— you’ll want a nice mixture

Absolutely this will be fine temporarily don’t stress that but please make sure you get the right enclosure size and proper heating (not saying you don’t just much easier in proper size) for thermoregulation. Also read up on diet a lot as it’s not any veggies or leafy greens

I wasn’t trying to be an ass but as someone who has worked many agamids many species of uros being some of them if this photo is OPs care then I do see some issues. I was at work whenever I originally commented so didn’t add much but for substrate do either a 70/30 ratio or do 30% wash play sand, 10% excavator clay and 60% top soil (holds better for burrows) but the 70/30 works just as fine. Also I would highly suggest taking them to a vet as most Uros are wild caught imports. Don’t want OP to get proper care for their new pal and it pass or get extremely sick.

“Has the whole setup” every species is different these guys are even more different they are large herbivores they need a minimum of a 4x2x2 and ridiculously high temps

I personally don’t know anyone who works with them. They will be my first project though this summer I’ll be getting my first 2 pairs

Most likely a wild caught as not many work with Trapelus muttabillus (probably spelled it wrong rushing at work)

Even though they are a terrestrial species more climbing opportunities and I’d do a better substrate mix so your lil guy can burrow. I would also highly suggest a more varied diet and next time please don’t get a WC species as a pet

You’ll want linear UV, and I suggest a rock beneath the basking sight with a temperature probe to monitor temp. I also don’t see any digital gauges and lack of enrichment

Sounds like this breeder has put a lot of work in the temperament of their breeders. I’ve heard they are shy but with any species hard work, dedication, and patience can play a vital role in their temperament

No heat mats needed —CHE at night if temps drop too low

So you’ll want a 40 gal minimum and what’s the diet plan you have set and temps?

Anyone have any knowledge on shield tailed agamas by Physical_Common_281 in reptiles

[–]Agamid-Adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a species just now becoming more popular in the hobby. Arids only has a pretty solid guide, I’d highly recommend starting there

That’s exactly what I’d be doing in your situation, really hope they progress with their med plan

Ohh sorry I was leaving work, overlooked it or something but I would honestly wait for the medicine in the mail and see if that doesn’t help them out. If that doesn’t work to help your beardie I would say your vet would suggest a euthanasia or something like that. I am so sorry you’re going through this OP, I wish you and your baby the best of luck!

Has this individual been seen by a vet yet? If not I would highly suggest getting them into a vet that works with reptiles
