First off, a 10 gallon is way too small for a uromastyx. You cannot regulate their temps in such a small space. It sounds like you are cooking the poor thing if the ambient temp is that high and it can't get to a cooler area in the tank.



I am assuming this is your first lizard. Please do some serious research on their care. I have one small adult I took in on rescue and his cage is 4'long by 2' wide and 4' high. He uses all of the floor space which is very important for them to regulate their body temps.



Please make some very important changes ASAP
