In the uro world, Malis are a great place to start. Make sure to do huge amounts of reading and research before you start, though, because set up and ongoing care gets expensive - far more than you might expect. Get a captive bred animal or at the very least, a long term captive from a reliable source like Urotopia.



They're primarily (or completely) vegetarian, they need large cages (4' x 2' is a good minimum), and higher heat than a beardie. They tend to be less tolerant of handling than beardeds but are very active and curious when healthy, so are very entertaining. Even unfriendly uros don't tend to bite - you have to watch out more for the tail. They CAN bite and will if you really give them reason, but they generally aren't aggressive.



Here are some links to get you started. They aren't the only places to look, but it's a good beginning.
