Ok these guys are pretty decent starter lizards they do leave you a *bit* of room for error. I spent $200 on just my setup alone, $110 for my WC male saharan, $40 for a sick WC that i had to spend an extra $60 bucks on for vet bill. Then i just adopted a mistreated baby mali. I would highly reccomend that you either buy a WC from a VERY reputable breeder such as Doug Dix or Lindsay Pike. Even if they are WC they will be healthy. Deerfernfarms.com and urotopia.com are the websites respectively. A baby uro is not something you want to start with. My baby although mistreated and started off extremely poorly is much harder to maintain then my adults. Go for a nice fat adult. If you can find a CB that is better they will be much more tame than the WC. It might cost you more but in the long run you will appreciate it. They do need a good diet with a variety of foods. I became interested in these guys due to the vegetarian aspect. As long as you go with a heatlhy one read up as much as you can on these guys you will be fine. As away on this fourm and i am sure you will find the answers. Uros are awesome lizards and very rewarding if taken care of correctly
Good luck
