So I noticed today Angus as some black spots on the underside of his neck/throat... any ideas what it could be? Is it a bad thing? Or is it normal and I just never noticed it. It just looks splotchy. His temps are good, he is eating well, still super friendly, and has lots of energy. Here's a pic. Sorry its not a great one but its the only one he's not trying to eat my iphone in lol.
Hm... looks like he's also shedding? Maybe he's "growing into his colors" as I like to call it as they get older and their coloring becomes more pronounced. How old is he again? From a couple pics on a quick google search it looks like some Egyptian Uros have a dark color under their chin and down their neck...
Yeah I saw the same thing on google. And yes he was shedding at the time. He is just over a year. Just wondering, how big/heavy should an egyptian be at this age?
It looks like there are 3 sub species that all fall under the category of "Egyptian" Uromastyx. Once subspecies gets to be about 2 feet long at adulthood but the other two seem to be able to get up to 3 feet long when they are full adults. I've also read that Ornates and Egyptians take the longest to mature. Ornates around 3-4 years and Egyptians anywhere between 4 to 6 years....
Is it sad that I have to check on here to see when I originally posted about getting my little guy to check how old he was? Lol.
