Uro Weights?

MissAnne2u Sep 02, 2008 08:44 PM

I just got a NEW digital kitchen scale and weighed the Uro’s for the first time since June ... I tried to get good measurements, but they wouldn’t sit still long enough ...... Do these seem like they are good weights?

Albert and Azreal are each just over 2 yrs old and just over 8" long, Liono is about 3 1/2 yrs old and about 11" long

Albert: 62.37g
Azreal: 68.04g
Liono: 141.75g

I can post pictures if you want to see them

Thanks in Advance !!!

If you'll tare a light weight cardboard container & then add lizard you should be able to obtain accurate weights even w/o their cooperation.

I got accurate weights, just couldnt get accurate lengths on the Uro's, they just don't sit there and be straight for you LOL

try holding a piece of string the length of them, its a bit easier, then just measure the string

Worst that can happen is you might be a centimeter or so off. Doesn't matter an iota in the long run. Growth rates are not set in stone. An important part of the the learning curve with Uros (& other herps) is to not get all anal with measurements & statistics. You'll drive yourself to the funny house.
