Interesting discovery....the mali uromatyx's natural enemy is....

Nemo. I have a big stuffed animal clown fish in my room, and it was on the floor when I had Sam out. I noticed she was a little concerned with the stuffed animal, so I gently nudged it towards her and she got in the classic uro defensive position (the 'S'). Up until now I've never seen her do that, so I was quick to put the stuffed fish away and she calmed down right away. I apologized to her too

-----Yes, finally got almost enough money to get started on new, big cages!!! I'm building stacking cages, three of them. Yes, I only have two reptiles (my uro and my beardie)... for now. Actually, I guess I'll wait to fill that last cage, because with college coming up, my future is looking a little uncertain, but I'll make sure I can still care for my creatures, even if it means driving for hours...at least my parents said they would feed them and everything if I do go away...still going to try my best to not have too.

I gave my neice that very same Nemo last X-mas. It is a little creepy looking if you're a Uro.

It's creepy looking anyway, you don't just have to be a uro to say its creepy. It's funny that it's scared of a stuffed animal, not so much funny as cute. But it could be that its like 20 times its size.

Anyways thats good to know, now I won't get one.

Sound kind of like my cat Rosco who was seriously traumatized by an umbrella I used to have. It looked like Pikachu's face with ears that stood up. He was so terrified of it, he would have starved to death sooner than walk around it to get to the food bowl. I had to get rid of it finally. Poor guy.
