Talk:Uromastyx

message: Should not Uromastyx maliensis be added to the list?  I understand that for some time it was believed that they were the same as Uromastyx acanthinurus, but I thought now that was not commonly agreed to be the case.  More Information on the subject. -- elykyllek 16:18, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)
:Since no one cares, or objects I will now add Uromastyx maliensis to the list.  There is one maliensis, three geyri, and two macfadyeni in my house so hopefully if I get some time I can write a bit about them on their pages. -- elykyllek 19:11, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
Should the statement Uromastyx do not make great pets be omitted because several reptile keepers are willing to supply the correct enclosures and find them quite rewarding pets.
They are excellent pets for VERY experienced keepers. Although they will survive in mediocre care, that is less than ideal. Too many of these lizards are picked up wild-caught, skinny, and sick. All too often they do not have someone who is willing to put forth the extensive work and $$ necessary for proper husbandry of these lizards. Delightedly (talk) 06:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: U. maliensis is considered a synonym to U. dispar. Hence the original identification is correct; see:

text: If U. maliensis *is* in fact just a subspecies of another species, then can someone please change the part later in the page that *refers* to U. maliensis?.... Tamtrible (talk) 23:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

message: There are no "crystals" in UVB lights.  Both Mercury Vapor and Compact Fluorescents operate on the same principle.  A ballast energizes a gas mixture which causes it to emit photons.  The coating on the bulbs effect the UVB/UVA output.  The intensity degrades over time as the coating degrades from use.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.123.132.139 (talk) 03:09, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
