Oldest Uromastyx

mistaman May 15, 2006 04:36 AM

Hello Everyone, I am trying to find out what the oldest Uro anyone has or has had (particularly Egyptians). I notice that a couple of post down (Constipated Egytpian) that the one there is 13 years old. I have read that Uro's (particularly Egyptians) can live for 30 years? Anyone have one older that 13 years?

The adult w/c mali I got in the mid 90's was in my care for almost a decade. Since then I have acquired 2 juvie ornates. So I don't have much longevity experience personally.
On another forum there is a uro keeper in the EU who has one uro that has been in captivity for 30 years.
