Hello,

It's good to know that the "third time's a charm". I was

able to view both photos.



I believe this is a Uromastyx aegyptia microlepis (common

name "Egyptian". The two subspecies being the U a a and

the U a m. The microlepis occur in Arabia and the U a a

across the border in Egypt but both are dubbed "Egyptians".

They are pretty similar with the Arabian uro being generally

darker and just a tad smaller than it's Egyptian counter part.

Both subspecies could easily reach close to 24" as adults.



It looks a bit underweight and possibly a little dehydrated

to boot. If it were mine I would be more inclined to offer it

less seeds and more greens and veggies along with a few

flower petals like rose, hibiscus and dandelion to name a

few. At least till it fills in some of that loose skin.



There's much more moisture content in the greens etc than

in those dry looking seeds clusters I'm sure.



John
