Well I've been thinking about getting a Uro for over a year now. I finally found some captive bred babies, but at $225 they were out of my price range. I did find recently some Egyptians I could afford (one . . .two . . .or three).

I've done my research, but any advice or sources you could refer me to would be appreciated.

Three questions I have at the moment are . . .

1. What substrate do you use? What substrate has the lowest impactation risk or is that really even a concern with these guys. I've switched to paper towels with my other lizards, but I keep nothing that likes it hotter then 90F really.

2. What's the typical lifespan for these guys or expected at least.

3. I read on another post here that there are two species of Egyptian. Any diagnostic characters to tell them apart?
