are there any types of uros that can be kept together in the same enclosure?

my mali and somali never had any problems, but one was about a year younger. So there was always obviously a dominant one. That's just my personal experince; don't hold me to it.

just try to make sure they are about the same size, like you wouldn't want an indian in with an egyptian.
some people frown upon it because of the possibility of producing mutts, when so many uros are still imported. other than than, as with any cage mates, just be sure they are being nice to each other

i wanted to get a red saharan adutl to go in with my adult mali, and i wanted to put a baby ornate in with my baby red saharans

I don't mix species, so I can't really speak to that, but I'd warn you that some ornates are MEAN little buggers - especially females. Just an FYI.

1.1 Saharan Uros (Joe and Arthur)
2.1.1 Mali Uros (Spike, Tank, Lilly, and Turtle)
1.1 Ornate Uros (Scuttlebutt and Shazzbot)
2.1 Green Anoles (Bowser, Sprocket, Leeloo)
1.1 Felis domesticus (Roscolux and Jenny)

I have to say I am somewhat of a hypocrit. I usually advise strongly not to have even two Uros together in the same enclosure. This has been my experience with egyptians-They are best if caged alone.
They can be incredibly aggressive and hostile animals toward each other.
That said, I do have a Ornate and and Indian that have been co-habitating in the same enclosure for over two years.
I would not say they are "Close", but seemingly get along and bask together. I would also add that the Ornate seems to be the dominate uro.
