Hi all,

I am new to the forum, and about to be new to Uro's too! I have been sending emails back and forth with Doug Dix, and am either going to be getting a baby ornate, or a baby moroccan within the next week

I also have a green iguana, and argentine b&w tegu, a sulcata tortoise, and a brazilian rainbow boa!!

Am so excited about getting a new baby, will post pics as soon as I get him, he will be named "Frodo" (I think I am leaning more toward the moroccan)

Glad to be here, any advice, or tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Glad your here with us, always room for a ton more uro buddies and URO's TOO !

Can't wait to see which you will choose
Either will be gorgeous and Doug has some nice kids! Frodo would be cute for sure, where have I heard that name before, ahahhahahaaah

Anyway as far as advice whatever just stick around you will learn plenty from many wonderful and experienced keepers. Just holler and they will come running

Let us know when Frodo arrives (SMILE) Again welcome and Enjoy the forum

Hi all,

After having a conversation with Doug yesterday, I have decided to go with the egyptians! I am used to lizards that grow to be 4ft or more in length, so he suggested the bigger, bulkier egyptians. He sent me 4 pics this morning, 2 juvies, and 2 adolesents, am going to go with one of the juvies!! His name will still be frodo!! hee hee.

Will send pics as soon as I get him!

welcome to the forum! that's a nice looking tegu you have there. good choice on the egyptians, i have 1.2 egyptians and 1.0 tegus. egyptians are cool uros, they tame easily (in my experience) and have curious personalities.

share some pics when you get your uro!

Welcome. I've been away for a while on another forum (no, not reptile related) trying to help finding a missing fellow motorcyclist.

Anyway, working my way "up" the forum and wanted to welcome you.
