Question

I have a 3-unit cage and each compartment is about the size of a 40 gal. I have a ball python and a rainbow boa, I would love an egyptian but i know i dont have the space, I have been lookin at ornates and saharans, would either be ok in a 40 gal? Thanks.

It is very small for a uromastyx but if you get a really small one like an ornate you might be able to barely fit it in. Usually the bare minimum is a 50 but since an ornate is the smallest you might be ok with that size. If you do get an orante i would get a hatchling or a juvy so you have a year or two to get a bigger tank if needed.
