Thats so awesome!
I wish I could go! If it was up to me I would go but I can’t drive and I live in Michigan. When I’m older I won’t stop until I find a way LOL
That is one heck of a Uro. And I love that sailfin dragon. :D

You guys are so lucky that you actually live by big shows. The two shows that are fairly close to me are quite small :(

You should see Doug’s set up at his house ... he has a entire 6 or 8 car garage full of enclosures all around the garage walls, 2 - 3 High and turtle enclosures like isles in a supermarket.

He has this one Banded Uro that he has offered to us a couple of times, but we just don’t have the room for ANOTHER enclosure yet. As of next week, we will have our two oak enclosures and we are getting 2 AP Cages enclosures, we just have to tweak them a bit for our Uro’s.

Our reptile show isn’t that big, but it is the only one in the Pacific NW that is close to us (20 minutes away). I heard they have a big one in Portland, but I’m not sure. Here is a link to the shows coming up in the next few months across the US ... maybe you can find one thats close Link

I soooo wanted one of his morrocans !! But.... here in lies the problem lol !! My girlfriend has 23 snakes but she keeps them in our spare bedroom. I on the other hand like mine out where I can see them. She has "allowed" me one enclosure in the living area and thats my ornates. So, if I want another it will have to go in the bedroom and I havnt wanted to do that just yet. I do see somethin in the future but I will build a new enclosure first !!
Boy, I would LOVE to see Dougs setup !!!

You were there too!!! Man i really let myself go today... but no uros. Doug had the best uros by far. He had saharans (yellow and red), ornates, malis, morrocans(cant wait to buy mine!!) and the algerian leopards. Doug is a cool guy, i told him about my ornates and he remembered exaclty who i was ( the kid who took his "best" ornates and still wanted a deal lol). Did you guys know Doug is selling his breeding ornates??? He said he wants to concentrate on his northern/western african species of Uromasyx. Oh well, atleast i got mine from him!! Ill post pics of what i got later tonight.

Was he selling the Algerian Leopards? We told him we wanted at least one of them.

Next time we are up at his place (it’s about 2.5 hrs away) we’ll take pictures for you guys. It’s amazing how many animals he has. And they are all fat and healthy too LOL He buys Endive by the CRATE !

Yeah, I knew he was selling his breeding pair, but he told us they would only go to an experienced Uro owner, someone who had Uro’s for at least 2-3 years and new something about breeding. I’m sure he’s asking alot for them.

I think it’s ROAD TRIP Time !! LOL

Pics of Dougs place would be fantastic !!! Dougs prices on his babies were excellant !!! For anyone who is going to spend 80 to 125 on a uro at a pet store think about this, Doug had babies for 125.00 !! And there coming from a breeder !!
Lindsey had a pair of ornates for sale. I didnt ask if they were a breeding pair but they were a pair . The male was BRIGHT green and the female was one of the most colorful female ornates I have ever seen !! If she wasnt in with the male for comparison she could easily pass for a male . Anyhow , that quality doesnt come cheap. 600 for the male and 400 for the female !!

Those are beautiful! I know this is the Uro forum, but holy COW. The Sailfin Dragon [Hydrosaurus Pustulatus] is absolutely GORGEOUS. I’m guessing that was Scott Cornell’s stand considering nobody else around seems to breed and/or sell them any longer
