Paid $125 + shipping. I don’t think I’ll be paying that much again for a lizard. That’s not bad considering coming from a reputable breeder. Quote: Rose of Jericho
Count your lucky stars. Even the cheapest uromastyx costs more than double that amount where I come from... The lowest I’ve seen Saharans go for were $50 a piece at a reptile show this past weekend (it was all too obvious why they were that cheap). I’ve also seen some in just as bad shape for $120. |

I’m happy with both lizards. The female is still recovering from all the harassment she had to endure from the male. I gave her the 60 gal tank and put the male in the 40 gal tank. I’ll put one of them in the new Showcase cage I just bought or in a Vision 332 if I get a good deal for it. On the subject of money, I have spent $615 for the lizards and equipment since I got such a good deal on the male :) Just curious, what was the amount you spent - let’s get as many answers as possible - for your Uros setup during the first year?

The cheap comes out expensive in the end. |

Quote: a Rep Pro bulb
I would stray away from those rep pro mvb china bulbs. they are not safe. I would look into larger enclosures asap as well. |

I have a 4’ Showcase cage which I will set up soon. I might try to buy a Vision 332 for the male. Believe it or not, I can achieve a good temp grade in the 3’ 40 gallon tank, but it’s only a temporary cage till I get the Showcase set up. Paul |

Quote: You’re right, from what I have heard , the Rep Pro is junk. I’m using it because it puts out lots of heat. When warmer weather arrive, I’ll junk it. I have never heard anyone say it can hurt a lizard.
rep pro bulbs don’t last. the mega rays get pretty hot too... I would junk the rep pro bulbs now. I am on the uvb meter owners group and I can tell you most all chinese uvb bulbs are garbage and can have extremely high UVI readings,extremely low total uvb,extremely high total uvb,some with uvc. I would stray away |

Quote: there also is no coatings on the faces of the rep pros which can have strong spikes of uvb. instead of making it frosted
Strictly speaking, there don’t have to be. The likes of a Mega Ray will have frosting on the face sometimes; this is because each bulb is individually tested for its UVB output and modified accordingly. Some will ship with a completely transparent front face where UVB output is within acceptable tolerances. |

I am doing a few trade shows this time of year as well which has me gone for about 4 days at a time (Thurs-Monday I’m not available during those times). Also breeding season is just starting so most my time is out working with the critters and away from the computer and phone. No one else is here to do the work but me so I can get pulled pretty thin. If you call and miss me, please first leave your complete phone number slowly and clearly, then a short message. You’d be amazed how many people don’t leave their name or their area code. If you call and the phone just keeps ringing, it means the line is tied up by someone else so please try back later (there is no busy signal w/ our phone company’s call waiting service). Thanks, Doug |
