Description
The Yellow Niger Uromastyx Pair (Geyri) is a proven, reliable choice for reptile keepers seeking a hardy, diurnal lizard with exceptional coloration. Since we began stocking this pair in January 2026, it has become a steady seller for us. This pair offers an active, manageable display animal with straightforward care requirements.
Stand-Out Features
- Proven Reliability: Our staff tested this against three competitor offerings; this pair won on overall health and hardiness.
- Vibrant Yellow Coloration: The Niger locale (Uromastyx geyri) is prized for its bright, consistent yellow-to-orange hues, especially in males.
- Ideal Temperament: Known for being more docile and less skittish than other Uromastyx species, making them excellent for observation.
- Herbivorous Diet: Primarily eat a mix of leafy greens, seeds, and legumes, simplifying feeding compared to insectivorous reptiles.
- Hardy Constitution: Adapted to arid environments, they are resilient lizards with straightforward husbandry when provided proper heat and UVB.

Your Questions Answered
Are these captive bred?
Yes. This pair is captive bred, which supports better long-term health, acclimation to captivity, and is more sustainable than wild-caught specimens.
What is the minimum enclosure size?
A 40-gallon breeder tank is the recommended minimum for a pair. Larger is always better, especially to establish proper thermal gradients and provide space for multiple basking sites.
How do you sex them?
Sexing is typically done by examining femoral pore size and shape, and tail base structure. We verify sex prior to pairing. Males generally display more vibrant coloration.
