Introducing...The Lizard

Some people have cats, others maybe a dog. I have a Uromastyx, an adult yellow nigerian or saharan Uromastyx to be more specific. The scientific name is Uromastyx geyri. To be original we affectionately call him "the lizard." He has been part of our family for 3 years and made the trip out to Boston riding under the front seat of the moving truck. He loves a fresh mix of greens and basks in 130 degree heat. Like a dog we often give the lizard table scraps. Unlike a dog however, we give him the last bits of salads. Yummy!
