Saharan Uromastyx Picture

pgross8245 Mar 17, 2004 10:47 AM

Hi all,
Just having fun with the camera today. This is Fanta, an orange phase Saharan female. As far as I know she is around 2 1/2 years old. She weighs 226 grams and is 11 1/4 inches stl. She is a very sweet girl who obviously likes to eat. I have had her for about 1 1/2 years. Enjoy!

Dang! She's a fatty!! I was all impressed with my male - he's up to 210g now and he's longer than Fanta, too!

Is it true that the Bentis are more difficult than other species to work with? They're certainly beautiful.

Fanta says thanks for calling her a fatty! Now she is depressed. LOL The Bentis are flighty, they are like chipmunks, very curious but they like to approach on their own terms. I have three, the other ones are smaller and have not shown the coloration of this boy. They are also very hard to find, as I have been looking for a female for a year now with no luck at all.

Let Fanta know that when I called her a fatty, I meant it in the nicest possible way!! She's big and beautiful!
