I have an orange uromastyx. When I purchased her, she was purchased w/ a yellow male. She looked a little skinny when I first got her, but the other one was fat and very healthy looking. Both of them were in a tank w/ plenty of heat for basking, a heating pad underneath, a huge variety of good greens and gutloaded crickets 2 or 3 times a week, also w/ a uvb light. The yellow male thrived and never showed any problems. The orange one did o.k. for a while then took a huge turn for the worse.She quit eating and would barely open her eyes. Almost looked dead most of the time. At that point I got her wormed and started forse feeding her. The vet said it looked like she was losing muscle mass. After a couple weeks she started to look alive again. A couple months later, she eats on her own and always has a fat belly but underneath her tail will not put the weight back on. I have to soak her a couple times a week and she will drink that water for a good 30 seconds each time, which I know is not normal. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch, Cara
