I know you feel you have lost 2 now, and this species, seems to get sick frequently. Yes there are some wc's that do not do well, I agree. But you will find that with many species of lizards.

But if you like saharans, I would not completely rule them out. Just really take the time to find a healthy one, from a reliable breeder.

I wish you well no mater what kind you decide on, eygptian or otherwise.

I just wanted to say this because I bought Crispy, my male saharan 5 years ago as a healthy looking WC , And other than having to calm him by handling, he thrived, thank goodness.

So don't be too quick to rule out a species you like just be CAREFUL in Choosing!

I know. I think it could just be my luck with saharans though.

I heard good things about Doug Dix so that's why I got them through him but maybe it's because he lives so far from me that's why they keep stressing out, even after they have arrived here.

where you get them, things can happen. Some are healthier and hardier than others.

Misty, I know you will find a DOOSEY of a healthy one next time Don't give up

I won't completely give up on saharans. I think I'll just wait until Iris gets full grown to get another one(that is also full grown).

But in the mean time I believe I will look into getting an Egyptian Uromastyx (the larger of the two the Aeclypsis I think is the name of it).

Thanks, I'll never give up on them. But I will wait a while before I get another one. I think that maybe they are just too fragile as yearlings.

Thanks for the name!

I like the eqyptians because they are larger. So then if I got one I'd buy a small dog bed and let it sleep in there when it's out.
