目前我們正在積極培育的王者蜥有以下數種:湯瑪士王者蜥 〈Uromastyx Thomasi〉、皇室王者蜥〈Uromastyx Princeps〉、彩虹賓士王者蜥〈Uromastyx Yemenesis 〝Benti〞〉、藍華麗王者蜥〈Uromastyx Philbyi〉、華麗王者蜥〈Uromastyx Ornata〉、橫帶王者蜥〈Uromastyx Flavifasciata〉、埃及王者蜥〈Uromastyx Aegyptius〉、尼日王者蜥〈Uromastyx Geyri〉以及摩洛哥王者蜥〈Uromastyx Acanthinurus〉。
Uromastyx - have a quite tender and smart character as a pet instead of the traditional thinking "reptiles". Most of them give you the reaction while feeding and playing with but amazingly they rare bite or let's say never try to bite even in a threaten situation. This will be the lizard that I'll suggest to everyone who like to get understand reptiles further more. With a good care, they could live for a long time and provide you the different interaction compare to other lizards making you feel the connection in between.

在我們飼育的爬蟲類之中,王者蜥是我自己最喜愛的蜥蜴其中一種,從認為蜥蜴是一種冷血且兇猛的動物,一直到接觸越來越多;發現到,原來王者蜥是這麼一種看起來色彩多變,有份量之外,出乎意料的牠們還是一種非常平易近人及飼育的蜥蜴;除了平時的飲食主要為素食之外,也跟飼養者有良好的互動,飼育久了之後培養出的感情也是難以言喻。而另一個非常重要的一點便是牠們可以說是幾乎不咬人,性情很溫和是很適合全家飼育的一種寵物。長久的飼養之下色彩的變化以及成長的狀況更能夠帶給飼育的主人難以言喻的感動。是一種我覺得最適合推薦給所有人的一種蜥蜴或爬蟲類,希望您也會喜歡。

U. Acanthinurus 摩洛哥王者蜥 (北非王者蜥)


來自北非的王者蜥,體態屬於中型的王者蜥蜴,分布的範圍在西部大阿拉伯利比亞民眾國,突尼斯,阿爾及利亞北部摩洛哥和西撒哈拉北部都有記錄發現,目前被列入為CITES 2 附錄中。摩洛哥大多生活在1000公尺海拔以下的地方,部分區域也有到達2000公尺以上,故日夜間的溫差變化可以略猜一二。摩洛哥王者蜥的壽命很長野外可以達到20年,而人工養育的可以長達25年之久,是一個極好的夥伴。

坊間常見到的王者蜥分有黃綠及偏橘紅的個體。在我們飼育的個體之中也可以發現有很多種的變化,也是我們很喜歡的其中一種王者蜥。一般而言摩洛哥王者蜥需要較高的溫度,這與牠的生活環境有很大的因素,在北非的沙漠中常常都是像這樣的景色,一整片乾燥的沙漠,沙質與岩質混合的地形,氣溫可以高至38~50C,夜間的溫度卻又可以相差10~20度之譜;也可以知道牠們在日間需要的溫度是偏高的,一般而言在夏日白天環境中平均氣溫35度以上製造幾個熱源點,讓溫度可以達到45~50度之間,這可以讓他們能夠有一個良好的基礎體溫的情況下生活。

一般而言,體色有分為黃綠色、綠帶部分橘紅色、以及底色大部分為橘紅色的個體。牠們也會按溫度來變色,冷天的時候顏色較沉及深,而溫暖季節的則較淺色而其中一般的摩洛哥王者蜥是以體色黃綠色為主;帶橘紅斑紋以及全橘紅的個體,數量是很稀少,在野外也僅是少數,而橘紅色的個體相對的特別以及身價也會偏高。不過實體的模樣仍是讓人趨之若騖。如果您能在市場上看到橘紅色的健康個體,除了幸運之外建議您可以好好的考慮,因為每年的數量減少,加上未有穩定的cb繁殖率;故也能算是一種可遇不可求的品系之一了。

Luckily we have several coolr forms of Uromastyx Acanthinurus. This is one of the species of Uromastyx that we think require more higher temperature than others. They will act and show the light color in a higher environment temperature. The yellow green color form is the most popular form that we could see in the market. Around 10% you could found the Orange to Red color forms Acanthinurus. The bright orange color is really amazing, it could even grow to the color close to red. But this form is still not much in the market.

We've 20s more heads on the breeding project now. Meanwhile, also got another 10 orange form for that project. Hope to get some result in the following years.

U. Ornata 華麗王者蜥


華麗王者蜥
Uromastyx ornata 是目前已知 17 種刺尾蜥屬 Uromastyx spp.中的一個物種, 目前也是跟其他的王者蜥同樣列於 CITES 附錄 II 中。華麗王者蜥的分佈是在埃及 (西奈半島)以及以色列、沙烏地阿拉伯和葉門等等地方都有發現牠的族群蹤影。

華麗王者蜥最大的長度約為
37CM,算的上是一種大小適中的王者蜥,牠們豐富的色彩,尤其以公的華麗表現最為亮麗,色彩有藍綠配上紅黃等等的顏色,十分的美麗,而母的華麗王者蜥也不遑多讓,雖然沒有亮麗的外表,但在素色的底色上分佈著紅與黃點的分佈,也可以算的上是一種公母十分好辨認的品種一旦達到一定的成熟度之後。

目前野外的研究文件中常常可以看到華麗王者蜥是以小群體一起生活住在石塊群的方式存活著,但這在自己家中飼育來說,仍舊是以能夠提供的環境大小為十分的相關,儘量還是以同環境中避免數隻公的個體來的較好,因為仍有造成比較弱勢的個體更加的虛弱進而導致死亡的危險。


在飼育上,華麗王者蜥與其他種類的王者蜥較大的不同點為皮膚,他們的皮膚相對於其他種類的來說要來的較薄與細緻,這可以很容易由觸摸而感覺出來;不知是否是因此緣故所致,在我們飼育的經驗當中,華麗同樣是需要創造出相對的高溫熱點,但是針對熱點卻儘量避免太接近的燈光直射而導致有可能牠們在曝曬時因為無法調節而導致不必要的脫水或是熱傷,如果以相同的熱源來飼養,可以在華麗的缸中把熱的來源較為提高。另外,由於分佈近海岸的緣故,一週可以1~2次做噴物來些微的提高環境濕度,通常是以關燈後或是清晨來進行,噴霧在棲息的地方,濕度可以提高至70~80,但開燈後的濕度即下降至40~50。

繁殖上來說,一般CB的華麗在約1年半至兩年的成熟度,即可分辨出公母並繁殖。一次約8~15顆蛋;目前我們專注的華麗共有圖上的三種的表現型,並以全綠及藍帶背上紅斑的來的較為稀少。

Uromastyx Ornata is one of the lizards that we are more focusing on. This species can be found in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen. The size of them around 30~37 cm, can be a bit larger while in captive environment. We've 20s more Ornatas as the breeding group. And keep them in 3 different color line of the male. From Green, Blue to the Red in back, some female also have the red spots on the back.

If you want to keep a Uromastyx Ornata, remember to build your environment first. And then you could try separate them individually until they are acting and eating well. Then you could put in couple or trio in proper enclosure. To provide a hide place is also important for them to reduce the stress. Lots of the Uromastyx die in stress situation without the owner notice. The dehydration will also come with the stress and non proper temperature for them.

After you successful provide them the environment. They can start to breed in the spring time with 8~15 eggs depends on the maturity. The new hatched babe, you could keep them in an enclosure with right temperature but don't put the light/heal resource to close to the spot. Meanwhile, the substrate can use the kraft paper or other papers with slightly misted in a corner to keep the humidity. After half year, you could then move them to the environment just like your elder ones.

U. Philbyi 藍華麗王者蜥


一種分布在西部阿拉伯山麓以及以色列的一種王者蜥,目前也可以說是華麗王者蜥的其中一種分出來的型態,Uromastyx Ornata 以及 Uromastyx Ornata Philbyi 所以台灣根據他的顏色直接區分成藍華麗王者蜥。藍華麗王者蜥在市場上的流動率以王者蜥當中算是相對而言較低的,直至最近歐洲也才有部分的合法進口的Philbyi。

一般來說我們看到的Philbyi大致上公母十分的容易辨識,公的越成熟,則體色表現的越明顯也越濃厚。這也是飼育他們有趣的地方之一,但在公母成熟上來說取其他的品種比較就比較不同,大約需要到2年到3年的時間才能達到成熟繁殖,這比一般的要來的稍長;成熟後的藍華麗色彩明顯股孔也比較大。

繁殖的困難度稍高,一般來說約在春天時,3~4月天氣回暖時公的個體會出現求偶行為,求偶時會繞著母體轉圈並且追逐,交配時跟一般的蜥蜴相同,公的會咬住母的上頸部,交配之後再過約1.5~2個月產卵,產量隨成熟度而有不同一次約5~12顆不等,產卵部分可以提供一個躲避的產卵盒,產下後以31度的溫度,濕度75~90%,孵70~90天不等的時間孵化。

在飼育上,一樣以餵養綠色的植物為主,但牠們是採取少量多餐的方式,餵養上可以使用多樣化的食材種子等等,牠們也對圓形的豆子以及各種種子很感到興趣,因為在野外牠們的主食即為植物的莖葉以及種子為主。而飼育環境中的底材佈置等等,則可以參考下方說明的建議。

Uromastyx Philbyi, it's distribution is in the western Arabian foothills and Israel. It's silimiar to the Uromastyx Ornata. And used to be said, Uromastyx Ornata Philbyi. Philbyi number in the market is relatively low qty, until recently Europe just get the first legally imported Philbyi. Therefore, it's still not that much among the breeders. Hope to see more captive breeding young in the market.

In general, Philbyi's sex is very easily identified, the more mature the body color performance of the male will become more obvious and more strong. This is also one of the interesting point that we love them. But they takes about 2 to 3 years to reach maturity, this slightly longer than the average; mature male have more gorgeous blue color.

Breeding Philbyi is slightly difficult than others, generally in the Spring time when warmer weather in April, the male will have the courtship behavior, courtship and chased around the female and in mating male will bite on the back neck of the female, after about 2 months the female will lay 5 to 12 eggs depends on the mature level. You could provide a hiding boxes with some substrate in the environment as the female breeding place. The eggs need to put into an incubator with 31'C, humidity 75 to 90 percent. And the hatch period ranging from 70 to 90 days.

About their diet, we're feeding greens as the main diet with some seeds/flowers occasionally.They are also very interested in the green beans and a variety of seeds, because their staple food in the field is the stems and leaves and seeds of the plant-based. While the rearing environment of the substrate layout, you can refer to the recommendations described below.

Uromastyx Philbyi is still not popular among the Uromastyx breeders. Since they are not common in the market and often with bad the Male/Female ratio. Till recently (early 2012) there is first legale import to Europ by the expert in Swiss. And hope there will be more and more Captive-Breed ones in the market and let people know this beautiful animal.

U. yemenesis (Benti) 賓士王者蜥

我們稱為賓士王者蜥的Benti,在王者蜥的家族當中,算是中型的種類,尾巴細長,平均長度成體約在27~36cm。賓士王者蜥分布範圍從葉門,阿曼一直到沙烏地阿拉伯都有它的蹤跡發現,分布的範圍十分的廣大,尤其在記錄中安曼地區仍有一定的數量;他們分布在充滿碎石的半沙漠區域,這些的區域並不適合進行農耕等活動,故人類生活區域與他們的領域重疊的很少,但由於當地情勢的複雜,我們能夠見到在市場上的賓士王者蜥,從2005/2006年後就比較少見到,他們分為一般平地型也稱為橘色賓士,以及山地型分布在葉門的彩虹賓士(也有稱呼為山地賓士),其中尤其以彩虹賓士更為市場上少見,而在近年來也被區分為另一名:Yemenesis,所以雖然我們仍稱牠為賓士,但實質上彩虹賓士卻是與賓士為不同的。

賓士王者蜥的體色,大致上分橘色體色為主的平地型以及所謂的彩虹賓士(顧名思義這是我們覺得非常漂亮的一種王者蜥,身上有著藍色的斑紋,背部有著白色的明亮斑點,近腿部至後段尾部的部份又是呈現鮮亮的橘色,身體部份也有著黃色的底色,頭部有著藍與橘等不同的顏色個體,成體甚至帶著金屬光澤的藍,這麼明亮的王者蜥,稱之為〝彩虹〞也不為過。

彩虹賓士的大小較一般賓士的大小來的稍小,成體平均在30cm左右,公的個體在我們手中的大部分背部的銀灰白色彩十分的醒目,而下半身後腿至尾部則是由橘色來組成,頭部則有藍色的斑紋較明顯前肢與側腹的藍色斑紋也較多,而母體的顏色則屬於較柔和感覺類似水彩的調色;但是在我們手中的個體,仍有十分多美麗卻又無法很明確分辨公母的個體,故除了以外觀作為觀察依據之外,如有繁殖的打算,仍傾向以取得3隻為繁殖組且稍有不同顏色表現的來的機率高。

平時餵食方面,彩虹賓士在王者蜥之中算是較不怕生的一種,並不會害怕人類的靠近,而飼育一陣子之後他們甚至會盯著你看你帶給他什麼好吃的,吃的方面以一般餵食王者蜥的東西都可以。註:大部分資料顯示飼育賓士必須的〝豌豆〞,但在我們的經驗中彩虹賓士卻是對此一點興趣都沒有。也或許就是地域別的差距與生態環境的不同導致牠們對此沒有興趣。

可以確定的是,彩虹賓士yemenesis在蜥蜴中或是王者蜥中的體色表現絕對稱得上是一絕,叫他們蜥蜴中的賓士車也不為過,市場上流通的數量很少,希望未來能有穩定的CB繁殖出現,讓大家都能夠享受到跟他們相處的樂趣。

尼日王者蜥在王者蜥的家族當中,算是相對上比較小型的種類,尾巴細長,平均長度成體約在30~34cm。尼日被發現在阿爾及利亞南方、馬利的東方以及尼日的中北部充滿碎石的半沙漠區域,並且從海拔500~2000M的地方均有發現到。野外分布的範圍極廣,預估野外的數量仍有一定。

尼日王者蜥的體色,大致上分為有斑點的橘紅色或是米黃色算是一種色彩十分明亮的王者蜥,且整個身體的顏色都可以分布,包含了腹部;通常我們也以顏色來為他們區分命名叫(黃)尼日或者是(紅)尼日。公與母的尼日在中成體上可以用顏色來做大致的區分,母的個體一般較公的個體來的顏色淡且白一些,另外腹部的顏色也比公的個體要淡上許多而且也較少斑紋,大部分的母的尼日,腹部只有類似雀斑一樣的斑點以及較淡的條紋,這是個很容易區分的特徵。


U. Geyri in the Uromastyx family can be regarded as a relatively small species, the tail slender, average length of adult is about 30 ~ 34cm. U. Geyri's distribution is among the southern Algeria to the eastern Mali and the north-central Niger. They were be found in the rocky, full of gravel semi-desert region, and have been found from an altitude of 500 ~ 2000M place.

U. Geyri's body color, could be divideded into orange or yellow with spotted, and the color of the entire body can be distributed with bright light orange/ red to yellow, including the belly. Usually we call them by the different color as (yellow) Geyri or (red) Geyri. Male and Female of Geyri can roughly tell by the distinction between individual color. General male have the brighter color than female. And the belly of female don't have the pattern of stripe, instead of they have the spots with lighter color belly. This would be an easy of the mother, abdomen similar to freckles like spots or lighter stripes, which is easy to distinguish the characteristics.

U. Flavifasciata 橫帶王者蜥

Uromastyx dispar flavifasciata 橫帶王者蜥,長久以來被認為是在dispar 三型中的一種亞種型,也可稱為U. Flavifasciata。U. Dispar 分布在茅利塔尼亞,蘇丹,查德的山區特別以北蘇丹為主。而其中的Flavifasciata橫帶王者蜥,則是分布在西撒哈拉以南,阿爾及利亞西南以及茅利塔尼亞及塞內加爾等地。

目前市場上能見到的橫帶王者蜥仍然不多,而在過去常有以馬利王者蜥來混充作橫帶王者蜥的方式販售,但實質上這兩種品種的成本以及數量相差很多;基本上可以從幾種特徵上去觀察,大部分的橫帶腹部較有條紋,而馬利王者蜥則比較少見此特徵,另外帶點淡橙橘色以及牛皮紙袋感覺的顏色也僅在橫帶王者蜥上較能看見,另外被上的點條文呈現交錯帶狀的蜂巢感相對馬利的直條帶狀也有差別。另外也有部分的橫帶呈現整支精黑色的表現,以及身上白色的條紋都是可以明確來辨識橫帶以及馬利的差異。

在野外,由於分布地點的關係,也可以發現很多特徵交錯不同的個體,有些可以發現的是配上了摩洛哥王者蜥,有共同的特徵,但就目前的研究指出,這樣的混種雜交的狀況雖然可見,但是幼體的狀況不一定好,也會帶來一些基因混淆的困擾,故仍建議單獨飼養牠們。

跟其他王者蜥的最大不同點是,此王者蜥是屬於比較大型的王者蜥,可以長成至50CM,甚至60CM之譜,飼主必須飼育一陣子培養感情後,較不怕生。而餵食方面,據我們的經驗,牠們對於豆及種子類的興趣比綠色植物要來的更高,故可以在購買回家時先以豆類混雜蔬菜餵食,之後再慢慢調配直自己的養法。

繁殖上較需要有冬化的時間刺激,隔年春夏時會出現交配行為。生蛋的時節約在7~9月之間,時間並不固定,母體生蛋時會找適合的地方進行數日的挖掘,最後產下蛋;在者之前必須在餵食的方面,多多的添加營養的植物,以及補充鈣質,這樣才有利母體的懷孕。生下的蛋必須在發現後馬上移出來人工孵化。約莫在90天後,即會孵化出來。幼體可以餵食與成體一樣的植物,但是較小塊且需多補充營養品以及爬蟲類的益生菌種,來補充未能汲取成體排泄物中的菌體以利消化系統較快成型的缺點。

The Uromastyx Dispar Flavifasciata have a variety of patterns. They are one of the U. Dispar family distributed at North west Mauritania, Western Sahara and south Algeria and its different from U. Dispar Dispar which located at Chad, Suden. Right now there are always Flavifasciata and Mali selling in the market. However, it's important for you to tell the different between them. Normally you could check the pattern on the back, Flavi. usually have the spotted band crossed like ladder, but mali normally link as a stripe. Meanwhile Flavi. usually have patterns on their belly. And the adult normally have the white band on the back which Mali won't have.

We've many different pattern forms Flavifasciata are in breeding project now. Including the Black samurai (Pure black), Camel color, …etc. We'll not suggest that you mixed up to cross breed with other species Uromastyx. Which may cause some problem though you could see some special patterns in the wild or breed by human.

Last but not the least, in our experience, they love beans and seeds more than the green vegetable. You need more time to train them to adapt into the diet that you have prepare for them. But remember to provide as much different type greens as possible for them.
