Hi DC. Yeah I have had really good luck worming uromastyx also. Mainly eagyptius and maliensis. Very bad luck worming Sauromalus. They seem not to take it well at all and seem to completely stop eating and really go down hill after worming. That has been with panacur and metronidazole. I have used ivermectin successfully with chucks but that is a very dangerous one to use. Maybe dipsos are different but I would be careful. Give them more time for sure. Dipsos are tough to sex when not in the breeding season so you should be able to quite easily at this time of year. Femoral pores are not that reliable since I have seen quite large ones in females. What I look for is the shape of the base of the tail and hemipenal bulges which are quite evident on the males in the breeding season. The base of the tale on the male will be more oblong than round north to south on the males with very evident hemipenal bulges. Try to post photos of the vent/tail base area and we can maybe be of some help.
