question about a uro-looking animal

jeune18 Oct 08, 2005 11:13 PM

maybe you guys can help me, i went to a show a couple months ago and saw this crazy lizard. he looked like a uro but instead of just having the row of spikes on his tail, he had rows of spikes on his whole body and to me he looked uro-like in the shape of his body. does anyone know what this animal is called?

sungazer. very rare. most bloodlines are off San Diego zoo I believe

well it could easily be since i live in san diego. for some reason i thought the spikes were shorter and i thought it looked more like a uro but memories can become distorted. thanks for the info.

Woah... Those are some really neat, and IMPRESSIVE, looking lizards. Something tells me THEY aren't herbivore/omnivores... lol. Some of my friends have trouble with Mosca, I wonder what they would do if I asked them to feed one of those! lol.
