I'm doing some research on a pet uromastyx, because I like their cute little faces a lot, and I noticed that while they're mostly herbivorous they do snack on bugs and small mammals in the wild. Would a pet uro benefit from occasional insect treats?

I wouldn't recommend it! Uros in the wild mostly eat insects out of convenience and coincidence, and they can introduce too much fat and protein into their diet even when only fed occasionally. With captive uros who are used to having readily-available food, they may even start to prefer insect treats over healthier foods, which isn't convenient for anyone!

Instead, most uros absolutely love lentils as treats. Bee pollen is also a great treat in moderation!

Sammy the uromastyx picture time!

So today when I went to give him good meal, he actually didn’t dive under the big rock in his enclosure! He was nervous, went to a corner, but I’m happy he stayed in the open.

I took a picture of him out basking before I opened because I thought he would hide.

But surprisingly enough, I got two pictures after closing it back up because he stayed out!

Those colors are slowly coming in!

If you are curious about the meal he got this time: escarole lettuce, a dandelion bloom, a little sample of green leaf lettuce, a couple pieces of squash, and an always available bowl of bird seed that is 90% millet and sprinkled with super veggie supplement. With his escarole staple he regularly gets samplings of other types of lettuce and a couple varieties of squash, dandelion blooms or bits of wild plantain, sometimes sprouted lentils, and some veggie treats I got at the pet store. Gotta spoil my boy!

are there any lizards/etc that vibe sunset aesthetics? (yellows, oranges, pinks, etc)

Oh, you definitely should have a look at the gymnures and other lizards in the family Agamidae!

Yo i am soon to obtain my first lizard ((a uromastyx)) problem is because of my parents i have to get it from a petco, they won’t budge on this, so, what should i look out for so i know if one’s healthy or not?

So, lizards from a chain pet store often won't be in the best health, and giving money to these chains for one is a whole ethical can of worms on its own. If you can convince your folks to shop at a local reptile expo instead, that's a much better option and you'll leave with a much healthier lizard. That said, I know your options are limited, and if you're going to be buying a lizard from a pet store chain anyway, I do want to help you get the healthiest one you can.

Here's what you'll look for when picking out a healthy uromastyx!

The uro should be active and alert, with clear, non-watery eyes. They should be curious about what's going on around them.

Check the lizard's body condition. Look for any obvious wounds, limping, etc. They should be able to move easily. Red, patchy skin is a sign they've been kept in too-high humidity.

Look for signs of metabolic bone disease. Malformed bones, strange lumps, and a trembly/shaky gait are all signs of MBD. Ask to hold the lizard before buying, and gently press their jaw between your forefinger and thumb - their jaw should feel nice and hard, a soft jaw is one of the easiest early signs of MBD to pick up on.

Look for swelling around the mouth - uros kept improperly develop mouth rot pretty easily.

Make sure you have your enclosure set up before you buy! Uros need a very hot basking spot, so make sure your enclosure is staying hot enough and your heat sources are regulated with a thermostat.

Behold a grumpy lizard

Why is he grumpy? Because I lifted his rock to check on him because he was apparently brumating a month earlier than last time.
