Still in the research phase of getting a uro but are there any books that people here would recommend? Some sort of uro 'bible' if you will. Thanks, L.

www.anapsid.org/uromastyx.html

You can also check out Uro-Tech, Mark Walsh has a small care sheet.

Magazine Articles:

Reptiles Magazine-July 2003 About 15 Pages
Captive Care of Uromastyx Lizards by Audrey Vanderlinden

Vivarium Magazine-Volume 7, No. 3 November/December 1995
How to Establish Ornate Uromastyx by Philippe de Vosjoli

Reptiles Magazine-July 1995
Ornate Spiny-Tailed Lizards by Randall L. Gray

I also have written a small basic care sheet which I can send you by e-mail if you are interested. I am no expert, it is just some very basic info.

You have to do a lot of reading and research and then go from there. Everyone has slightly different opinions you will find. Good luck!

Thank you for the list, I've got the de Vosjoli on Bearded dragons and noticed that he has one on uro's also. I also came across the ones by Gray and Wall but didn't know if they were any good or not. Thanks for all the info and I'll take any info out there that I can find so by all means send me the care sheet that you have. Thanks again.L.
