Hi,
I received a 2.5 year old "adult" Uromastyx about 5 months ago. He was about 6" S to V when I got him. I was told he was in the appropriate conditions before i got him UV light, heat about right. I received him from a sad little boy that wasn't interested in him anymore. He was eating ok, but I was told to "handfeed" him and that he wouldn't eat any other way. I tried to break him of this habit, as all they could get him to eat was mealyworms and a little bit of greens. He was skiney. Over the months he has begun eating all by himself (I'm so proud) and eating like a PIG!! He seems to be getting a little bit bigger, but its hard to tell.
However....he's still small. And he still looks like a juvinile. I had not though about posting something here about his stunted growth, but now I'm wondering---How big is a 3 year old Mali supposed to be? Here is a pic of him--
