My
lizard Amelda is such a delightful little critter. She is a Mali
Uromastyx Lizard. She spends most of the time hiding inside her rock
cave, but occasionally emerges to day dream about the deserts of Africa
while basking underneath her heat lamp. She must maintain a body
temperature of between 95 and 105 in order to digest her food. Amelda's
favorite foods are strawberries, bananas, collard greens, and mixed
veggies. Since she is a vegetarian, her food must be sprinkled with
calcium powder in order to keep her bones strong and healthy. For
exercise, she tries to climb the glass walls of her aquarium or runs
inside her clear plastic exercise ball exploring the house.
Amelda is very tame and will let anyone hold her. She enjoys chasing
after her sister, Loupi the parrot, or just gazing outside the window
and watching the kids play. She is the perfect pet and requires very
little care. Just watching her follow me around the room with those big
brown eyes really makes my day!
