Moroccan Spiny-Tailed Lizard
(Uromastyx acanthinura)
Morocco & Tunisia, North Africa – "Whiplash," this very rare, neon-green heat-lover carries his desert lifestyle to the extreme. He likes to be kept 120°F or hotter and he drinks absolutely NO water! Despite his name, he's gentle and easy to hold. Good for school-age reptile-lovers, ages 6 years and up.
This species is on the CITES Appendix II List (meaning that the species may become threatened with extinction unless international trade is tightly controlled).
