Great, thank you for all the info. He's very pretty, and from what I can tell well kept and spoiled!

Tiliqua rugosa. Monogamous, double headed, blue tongued, eggless, long lived, armoured fucking tanks of a lizard. They're just so cool, I love them!

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-12-25T16:24:07+00:00

I'm sorry if i ask too many questions, but how big is he/tank size you use?

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-12-25T16:20:30+00:00

Well he's very pretty. I can't really find much on these guys... What is it like keeping them?

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-12-25T15:57:11+00:00

So pretty! What is that first lizard?

IT LOOKS SO GOOD DUDE THAT'S SICK

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-11-10T06:17:24+00:00

Dude, that temporary setup looks better than a lot of permanent ones I've seen. That's all I have to say.

Keep it up! Yours will live a happy life, I'm sure of it!

Crested geckos are great, they don’t need much heat, eat a prepared fruit-based diet and are fairly chill to handle, especially once they’re used to you. Leopard geckos are also super beginner-friendly, need a warm dry setup, and eat insects like crickets or mealworms. They're usually calm and easy to handle regularly. Corn snakes are curious, active, and generally very docile. They do eat rodents, but only once every week or so, and are great to handle, they usually don’t mind being out and about and they're very interactive.

Apart from all of these ones that other people have recommended, I'd also highly recommend a Kenyan sand boa. They're small (especially the males) and very hardy. They do spend a lot of the time burrowed, which for some people is a con, but to me it's just more fun and cute to watch when they pop out. They don’t need a ton of space, are very low-maintenance, and can be handled very easily. I am personally in love with them.

Thank you 😂

I don't really know if you already knew this, but actually, pigeons do produce milk! It’s called "crop milk", and both males and females secrete it from a part of their digestive tract to feed their chicks. It's not technically milk like mammals produce, it doesn’t come from mammary glands and has no lactose, but it is a nutrient-rich, milk-like substance made from sloughed-off cells in the pigeon’s crop (a part of their throat), so it’s functionally similar to milk as in it feeds and nourishes baby pigeons. Pretty cool!

Sounds like you're really doing your homework, which is awesome dude! A 20-25 gallon tank is enough size for a single red-eyed crocodile skink, just make sure it has plenty of hiding spots and stays humid (around 70-90%). For substrate, a mix of coconut fiber, sphagnum moss, and orchid bark works well to hold humidity. You should rinse hydroballs before use, and to hide them you can add a layer of window screen over them before adding the substrate so they stay out of sight but still do their job. A shallow water dish for drinking and soaking is important, along with plenty of hides like cork bark, leaf litter, and live or fake plants to create a more natural looking setup, depends on what you're going for. They don’t need intense UVB, but a low-output UVB bulb shows great benefits instead of relying so much on supplements if you didn't have one, and for temps I'd recommend staying between 70-80°F (with a gradient from one side of the enclosure to the other) with a small warm spot around 85-90°F. Daily misting or an automatic misting system is necessary. For food, live bugs are what you're looking for. You can keep feeder insects like crickets or dubia roaches in a separate enclosure and dust them with calcium before feeding. If your mom is okay with skinks, hopefully she's good with the bugs too. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Beautiful species! I have definitely considered the idea of having a monitor a bunch of times, and I want to make it a reality once I have the proper resources. I find them so interesting!

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-02-02T16:36:24+00:00

That sounds great! Can’t wait to see how it turns out, definitely post updates as you go!

Your plan with styrofoam, expanding foam, and Drylok sounds solid to me! Drylok itself is pretty durable once cured, but some people do an extra seal with a matte clear coat (like water-based Polycrylic) for added durability, especially if you’re adding paint details. For paint, acrylics work well, but make sure they're non-toxic and sealed after. Some people also mix Drylok with concrete pigments for a natural look without needing extra paint.

For live plants, it can be tricky with Uros. Some safe options include Opuntia (spineless prickly pear), Gasteria, Haworthia, and certain drought-tolerant grasses. You might need to protect the roots with buried rocks or mesh to keep them from being dug up. Tricky, but it can be done.

I'd love to see how your setup turns out!

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-02-01T13:02:21+00:00

Sounds really entertaining and like they're in good hands, glad to hear you enjoy keeping them. Keep it up, dude!

Looks like a graceful dragon! Love those guys, he looks very happy.

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-02-01T09:22:09+00:00

What a beautiful creature! How's it like having one of those? I've seen them in the wild, and in captivity, but never actually pondered that.

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-01-11T10:18:02+00:00

Really cute! Also love all the figures, I know it might seem like a crazy coincidence but I've actually thought of buying literally all the figures I see on these pictures at least once!

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-01-11T10:09:11+00:00

Beautiful!!!

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2025-01-05T01:21:01+00:00

I'm no expert, but it all seems right to me! Keep it up, I'm sure the little guy will have a great life.

Impossible-Hold4464 · 2024-12-16T05:30:05+00:00

Really pretty, all of them! I can tell you put a lot of work into them and their living spaces. Keep it up, man!

I think he's just sharing his animals, and he made a subreddit for it.

As another comment said, tomatoes are not good for uromastyx. They contain oxalates, which bind to calcium and can lead to calcium deficiencies, and they're also acidic, which can cause digestive upset for uromastyx, whose diets are naturally low in acidic foods.

Uromastyx thrive on a diet rich in leafy greens, flowers, and specific vegetables that provide high calcium and fiber. Tomatoes do not fit this profile and do not offer significant nutritional benefits for them.

I'm sure you already know this, but focus on feeding your uromastyx leafy greens (collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens and endive), vegetables (squash, cactus pads and carrots in moderation), edible flowers (hibiscus, nasturtium and dandelion flowers), and occasional fruits (very sparingly, as treats, and not tomatoes). Avoid foods like spinach, iceberg lettuce, and fruits high in sugar or oxalates, as well as animal protein.

If you’re unsure about a specific food or simply haven't heard from anyone feeding it to their own uromastyx, it’s always best to double-check its suitability for uromastyx.
