Took a break from social media this winter , but im back now to posting content this spring and this year compared to last year's unexpected health issues im hoping to post and create more content this year as much as im able to thanks for all who have stuck around and checked up on me this past season here is a group of Ctenosaura Conspicuousa fully awake now and thriving and growing this warm spring my group is I think 1.2 juvies and 2.1 sub adults the bigger guys should breed by next season and the juvies in like 2 years conspicuousa

I was lucky to aquire a group of baby yemenensis uromastyx this season from two good breeder friends setting up too 4 different bloodlines they're really light and unique in comparison to other baby uromastyx my favorite thing about these guys is the tail its almost like a prehensailed tail they have these are are severely underrated in the community and very rare in the hobby if I had to say I would say these are probably some of the rarest uromastyx species to own next to shrobaki(lowland benti) , benti ( from eastern yemen and oman) ,princeps , macfadyeni( somalia ) , and acanthura ( Tunisian/Algerian)

Was lucky to add this magnificent adult male Rainbow Uromastyx to my colony of Uromastyx Yemenensis he's a total beast hope I'm able to breed these guys in the future one day been raising up my colony from small animals to this species it has taken longer than expected ,but worth it. #

Got a killer group of adult microlepis uromastyx a few weeks ago after having to downsize earlier this year due to acute GI issues and now being a bit more stable I jumped on getting these this species has always meant alot to me they are my absolute favorite next to white flavifasciata this is my largest male he's probably pushing over 24 inches and is super golden huge thanks to my homies in LLL for letting me know about these Dinosaurs with some TLC and some food and hydration they should be looking sharp by next year

Been really busy the past month trying to stablelize my schedule between health , family and animals and find a happy medium things have improved a bit and been staying really busy these past few weeks I decided to cut back on the multiple uromastyx projects I been working on for years I'm still keeping and breeding multiple species , but with in the last 2 years have expanded into the spiny tailed iguanas the ctenosaura and cachryx genus as well been blessed to meet alot of great people along the way with lots of new additions being added along with lots of inventory that is going to be listed online soon huge thanks to my friend Kurtis for sending me some baby ctenosaura conspicuousa ( san esteban island iguanas ) babies from a big male I sent him a while ago along with some other great animals that came from him also some nice banana pectinata that originate from Felipe Giraldo lines . Luckily I was able to come across some dwarf species and get my hands on some really amazing animals as well some Yucatan iguanas and michoacan iguanas hoping to be able to produce these one day in the future.
