Meet Sabre and Ikari!

Sabre (right) and Ikari (left) are red Saharan Uromastyx. They arrived early this morning and are settling into their new enclosure. When I checked them over, I was not pleased. 😞

Ikari is dehydrated and slightly underweight, but he is not lethargic; he is at least active and alert. However Sabre is far more underweight, dehydrated, lethargic; her eyes are sunken, and she has stuck-shed. 

These animals are going to be watched very closely by yours truly to monitor weight, hydration, and their feces to check if parasites are causing the malnutrition. I love them already, and I can’t stand to see my animals be unhealthy under my care. If things don’t improve quickly, it’s off to the vet we go. ����

Wish them the absolute best, because these little cuties just found their forever home and should start improving soon!

 Hit like to help them start to feel better 😊🦎❤️

Do you base any particular animals off of Alphys and Undyne’s design? Cause your Alphys really reminds of pangolin

Alphys is based on a mix of the pangolin and Saharan Uromastyx !

Undyne's mouth is based on the dunkleosteus, with her face and body markings based on the Whale Shark and Anableps

Uromastyx

Uromastyx is a genus of African and Asian agamid lizards, the member species of which are commonly called spiny-tailed lizards, uromastyces, mastigures, or dabb lizards. Lizards in the genus Uromastyx are primarily herbivorous, but occasionally eat insects and other small animals, especially young lizards. They spend most of their waking hours basking in the sun, hiding in underground chambers at daytime or when danger appears. They tend to establish themselves in hilly, rocky areas with good shelter and accessible vegetation. The generic name (Uromastyx) is derived from the Ancient Greek words ourá meaning "tail" and -mastix meaning "whip" or "scourge", after the thick-spiked tail characteristic of all Uromastyx species.

Uromastyx inhabit a range stretching through most of North and Northeast Africa, the Middle East, ranging as far east as Iran. Their size ranges from 10 inches (U. macfadyeni) to 36 inches or more (U. aegyptia).  Like many reptiles, these lizards' colors change according to the temperature; during cool weather they appear dull and dark but the colors become lighter in warm weather, especially when basking; the darker pigmentation allows their skin to absorb sunlight more effectively. Their spiked tail is muscular and heavy, and can be swung at an attacker with great velocity, usually accompanied by hissing and an open-mouthed display of (small) teeth. Uromastyxs generally sleep in their burrows with their tails closest to the opening, in order to thwart intruders .

Historically, captive Uromastyx had a poor survival rate, due to a lack of understanding of their dietary and environmental needs. In recent years, knowledge has significantly increased, and appropriate diet and care has led to survival rates and longevity approaching and perhaps surpassing those in the wild. The Mali Uromastyx (Uromastyx (dispar) maliensis) is considered an ideal species of Uromastyx to choose as a pet because they readily adapt to a captive environment. Another species that adapts to captivity well, and comes in "red" and "yellow", is Uromastyx geyri, commonly called the Saharan Uromastyx.

Uromastyx are removed from the wild in an unregulated manner for the pet and medicinal trade in Morocco, despite their protected status in the country. Conditions of the animals while being sold is often extremely poor and overcrowding is common.  Uromastyx maliensis, known as "ḍabb" by peninsular Arabs, is consumed as food by the Bedouin populations of the Arabian peninsula, mainly those residing in the interior regions of Saudi Arabia. This lizard is considered a "bedouin delicacy". It is recorded that when an Uromastyx was brought to Muhammad by Bedouins, Muhammad did not eat the lizard but other Muslims were not prohibited by him from consuming it, so Muhammad's companion Khalid bin Walid consumed the lizard.
