i got this uro from a friend, im not sure what species it is??

can some one here please tell me......

I'm pretty new to Uros, but it looks like it might be a Mali. You can look here to see some pictures/information about different species until someone with more experience can possibly tell you.

geyri.probably female.could be wrong but i think that's it.

The tail color in the middle pict makes me think not mali but possibly female ornatus. Just a guess.

I agree with the geyri assessment. It doesn't look well, though. Is it active? Has it been in for a vet check yet? A fecal exam?

actually i just got it yesterday, i thought the same thing, going to get a vet appt tomorrow morning.

they had 2 one died they dont know why.

they no longer wanted this one.... and dropped to me.

i should mention it is more active today, after sitting under a heat light....

and it did eat for me....

i dont know what they were feeding it.

or something X geyri. with red. nigriventis X geyri

I think it looks like a young female(yellow)saharan uro.(u.geyri)

Its a Saharan (U geryi). The top two photos are of a yellow Saharan but the bottom photo looks red pigmented in my browser (bad photo??). If you flip in over, the belly should be cream to very pale yellow with or without faint greyish tiger striping if it's a female. If bright shiny yellow or bright yellow with jet black tiger striping, it's a male.
