Brilliant! How are they settling in Fraser?

Very well thanks, think Bearded Dragon tame!!

Although saying this, they were outside over the weekend so we will see how much longer this lasts.

They are pretty much bomb proof.

I was wondering how you was getting on with these, nice to see an update.

Now there is a trully wonderful picture of a incredible animal that deserves to be shown in all it's glory more often, out of interest did s/he catch that earthworm themselves or did you offer it to them, either way thank you for sharing, I can never get enough of these guys!

I would provide more frequent updates if I thought people were interested. Now that I know you are, I will do so more often.

In this instance, I offered them this worm. I am a firm believer though in variety being the spice of life and offer them a wide variety of food such as - crickets ( both black and brown ), locusts, roaches, mealworms, waxworms, earthworms and pinky mice.

While they were outside last summer I observed them take spiders, flies, various winged beasties and a butterfly. They are free to eat whatever they catch.

How could anyone not love these awesome mythical looking beautys.
Definately need regular pics of these guys.
How did your outdoor enclosure finish up Fraser?. I remember the first pics when you started but dont recall seeing the finished product.
Cheers

Thanks for your comments Jay.

I did finish the enclosure - Complete - Outdoor Sungazer Enclosure.

And gave a further update - The Great Outdoors

They were out again this past weekend and seemed to 'enjoy' it!!

Any questions, please feel free to ask.

Ok now I feel like a right nana, I even posted on it

Glad to see them doing so well. Very unique looking lizards.
Having been tailwhipped by a large egyptian uromastyx I know what spiky tails can do. I wouldnt want a hit off these guys.
Hope they are loving this hot spell.
Keep the pics coming

It is difficult getting them out during the week due to work but they spend most weekends outside.

I will take some pictures tomorrow, weather allowing, of them enjoying the sunshine. Ultimately, I hope to house them outside year round - that is several years off though as our current house has shared access to the garden so is not good from a security point of view.
