It's been a while, but I'm back!

[Ameivaboy]

Doubt anyone remembers me from a few years ago... I had pickeringii and concinnus and had lots of babies at the time.... anywho life kinda hit and I got out of the hobby for a while.. I've been back in it for a few months and have been working with lacertas but recently came across a great price on a litter of melanistic easterns and bought them, sold a bunch and am going to keep the rest.
So without further a do ...

Hello from Iowa(radixville).

[ConcinusMan]

Welcome back! Very pretty snakes, especially the ribbon.


I especially like his tongue accessory. You know, the one that looks like a human hand.:p

[drache]

Kevin, yay - you're back
congrats on the melanistic easterns
how are your lizards?
and now that you're back, do you have experience with uro eggs?

[ssssnakeluvr]

welcome back! I need some more melanistic esterns.... my huge female hasn't bred so I have no holdbacks or babies. they are my favorite!

[Ameivaboy]

ahhh some familiar names.

Rhea- I have no experience at all with uro eggs and very little experience with uromastyx in general

ssssnakelover- Don right? I will be keeping several of these until I can
sex a pair out with confidence (my big hands and tiny fragile
snakes makes me not even want to try to pop them at this
size) One I get a pair out of these I will probably sell off the
others at which time I can offer them to you.

darn it
it seems they have very different egg needs from other lizards
I've already had to toss two clutches
what lizards are you currently keeping other than the lacertas and ameivas (I'm assuming you still keep those)?

No, no more ameivas :(
Only working with the lacertids now. They are very fun to work!
Just for kicks here's some pictures :)

Very nice looking setup. How do you handle the rain situation?
I would love to have outside enclosures for some of my radixes but with the Summer heat(100+), heavy rains,
ultra high humidity and predators(opossum,raccoon,feral cats) make it impossible to do anything within reason.

[Ameivaboy]

I have tarps to throw over the enclosures when there's the possibility of rain.
I'm working on plans right now to design basically a box that the cages will sit on ( well fastened too) that will be insulated with styrofoam and then filled with 10 inches (25 cm) of dirt for the upcoming winter so they can have deep burrows to protect them. This plan should also help protect them from any rain as well should I not be home to cover them.
All of these concerns are still several months away.

I used to have one that looked like this one, but mine was mostly blue:

Very Nice, I have 4 of them. They are hatchlings so I'm impatiently waiting for their green to develop, but even as hatchlings they have nice blue spots
