find information on nigerian euromastyx?

Question

I'm new owner

Answer 1

Get a book. Books have to be fact checked while anyone can write anything on the internet. Besides, there is way to much information to type here.
PS. You need to get some really good info on these animals. They have to have conditions (and food) just so or they develop health problems.

Answer 2

www.deerfernfarms.com has a VERY extensive care sheet, as well as (if I remember correctly) detailed instructions on brumation... The main thing to keep in mind is that they need a basking spot of at least 120 degrees, and a cool side around the mid 80's, and they MUST have a large enough enclosure (40 gallon breeder minimum as adults) to thrive. Like almost all lizards they also require UVB rays to properly metabolize calcium, which can be achieved by getting a fluorescent UV bulb placed no more than 18 inches from the basking animal. Diet should consist of staple greens such as collard and Mustard greens, as well as carrots, squash, etc... (NO Iceberg lettuce, or broccoli) This is just scratching the surface, I highly suggest checking out the website.

Answer 3

I have 3 Uromastyx, one male Maliensis, one female Malienses and one Nigerian. I’ve had the two Malis housed together for about a year or over now. At first the female was very aggresive versus the male and would bite him. Then I brought in a beautiful Nigerian Uro into the same cage and the female Mali finally backed away and got along well. I thought at first that they would breed right away but I’ve heard of this "Brumation Period" that they must go through. Can you please explain this to me clearly? And can i breed them with a Nigerian in the same cage?I have 2 Uromastyx Maliensis’ and one Nigerian Uromastyx.
The male Mali and Nigerian seem to be growing healthily but my female Mali doesnt seem to be growing. The coloring hasnt changed much sinse i got her (almost a year i think). But the male Mali’s colors have definately changed when hewas that age.

Answer 4

Research...books and internet sources.
Books and internet sources can be written by anyone that takes the time.
A few rules of thumb:
Look at who published the book or website or pays for it to keep running.
Also, when it comes to websites look for " .edu " extensions first as these are educational and school-based websites and are almost always checked and double checked.
" .org " and " .gov " stand for "organization" and " government" respectively. Depending on whether the organization or government has a reason to change or lie about the facts abot such an animal these would also be good places to research.
Lastly, talk to whomever you got the latest animal from.
