Uromastyx growth question

jeneef Jun 27, 2006 11:56 PM

I have 2 Mali Uros, I think....

My 2 questions are,
How long does it take for one to reach full size?
The picture attached is my presumed male Mali, can anyone confirm that he is a Mali, or is there a possibility that he is another kind of Uro? I say he is Mali, my husband thinks he is something else, any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

Both are Mali's but sexing based off those pics will be pretty tough.

Thanks, I thought they were mali's.

My question wasn't about sexing, but actually about how long it takes a Uro to reach full size? I have had my male (judging sex-by-color) since January, and he hasn't seemed to grow much. I am wondering if they are just slow growers?

All of my other lizards have been very quick growers.

Thanks,
Jenee
