Todd Tales

[Marten]

Starting a photo thread in honor of our beloved Uromastyx geyri, Todd. Hard to get good pics of this regal little guy but I'm gonna keep trying Tank gorgeously hardscaped by my partner in honor of Todd's Algerian heritage.

They are great lizards! Only reason I didn’t get one yet is due to their 100F needed for metabolism.

Yeah, keeping up with the heat gradient is tricky at first, but definitely key. I love how much enrichment he gets from just climbing the walls in this setup- he's a super agile little guy.

Hahahaha, this one's the best..."can I help you, sir?" LoL
I had a Mali, loved her, great little animals. Todd looks like a very happy camper, there...thanks for sharing!

Thanks! He's got so much attitude, it's delightful. He's the king of side-eye and hostile stares to let us know he's hungry. I'm hoping for a Mali when we look for our next one- we kinda stumbled across Todd in a small local pet store and couldn't resist him. But next time I'm going to find a breeder and raise one (or as many as I can afford).

In our old place, she could see our dining room table from her tank, & got used to the occasional table scraps from the salad (or in some cases, the centerpieces
bouquet, LoL). Well after a move, we'd let the animals that could be let out to roam for a spell do so in a certain order, & her time coincided with our dinner. She'd come RUNNING in, & as soon as she left the carpet & hit the hardwood, she'd slide in for effect, demanding *DEMANDING* our attention, & she'd no doubt commandeer a bite from each of us, LoL. She was a sweetheart, though...
Todd looks like a diamond in the rough, I'm sure he'll be a gentleman one day....LoL

Aww, that's ADORABLE. They're such little show-offs, I love it. Thanks for sharing about your girl. I'm looking forward to quite a few entertaining decades with Todd and whoever might come after him.

He sleeps like this a lot.
