Phil Lietz is the owner of Arids Only, a Uromastyx breeding facility in the US. In this episode, Phil discusses why he has decided to reduce the number of uromastyx species he is working with, the concept of "endurance" and what it means as a herpetoculturalist, and how to interpret selling photos from breeders. The second half of this episode revolves around the "naturalistic fallacy", We discuss why replicating nature for your captive reptile is not always the correct thing to do and in some cases why it can be a mistake.

The Moroccan Uromastyx (Uromastyx nigriventris) is an Agamid Lizard found in Africa and has gained popularity over the years for it's ease of care and simple diet. It is no wonder the Uromastyx have gained so much attention. But the question is: Is the Moroccan Uromastyx the best pet lizard for you?

Phillip of Arids Only is back! This time, we talk about his work with Xenagama. They're a neat small desert species that hails from the same harsh African environs as some of Phillip's Uromastyx. He's been very successful with a variety of desert species and he's always so willing to share information with all of us.
Another awesome conversation. Phil has kept and bred a multitude of Uromastyx species as well as several other desert dwellers. There's even a few Anolis in there if you scroll far enough! A knowledgeable and insightful keeper with some beautiful animals. So glad I got to pick his brain. And next time, Xenagama!
Phillip Lietz owns Arids Only, a Uromastyx breeding facility in the US. Uromastyx are simultaneously one of the most beautiful and underrated genera in herpetoculture and in this episode, Phil explains why that is. Throughout the conversation we discuss, the different Uro species, why they are a challenge to breed, issues with the wild-caught market, how to have success as a reptile breeder, and much more! This episode is packed with valuable information! SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/98-phil-lietz/
This was a cool episode. Michael keeps an incredible assortment of Uromastyx and he's more than happy to share information with folks. Uromastyx are a unique group of lizards that aren't frequently kept and are even less frequently bred. They come in an amazing variety of colors while also being from some of the harshest desert environments on earth. Sounds perfect!

Troy Jones has been working with Uromastyx for some time and has been successful in the herpetoculture industry.

In our very first interview we got the opportunity to speak to one of my idols Dr. Douglas Dix of Deerfern Farms. Dr. Dix is one of the premier herpetologists working with the Uromastyx species and has long been a favorite breeder of mine. We caught up with him at the NARBC in Pomona.
We caught up with Dr. Douglas Dix of Deer Fern Farms at one of the shows and he was gracious enough to share a little bit with us about how he got into reptiles, specifically Uromastyx. Uromastyx are probably one of the most unknown of the Agamidae family and while popular aren’t understood fully presenting a … Continue reading Uromastyx with Dr. Douglas Dix Deer Fern Farms → The post Uromastyx with Dr. Douglas Dix Deer Fern Farms appeared first on Reptile Living Room.
