Morrocan Spiney Tailed Lizard, (Uromastyx acanthinurus nigriventris) Adult Female

Giant S/W Saharan Uromastyx, (Uromastyx dispar flavifasciata). Adult Male

Young Uromastyx acanthinurus nigroventris These Morrocan Uromastyx are very variable and can be yellow, greenish yellow, red, or a combination of all.

U.geyri come from the Central Sahara region of Algeria,Mali and Niger where they hide in rocky crevices. These lizards do not live on the large sand dunes we often imagine the Sahara to be like but in rocky, often mountainous regions.

U. geyri youngsters held back for future breeding projects. Note the summer flowers and herbage which form a beneficial part of the diet at this time of year.
