Just out of curiosity, and please don't take this the wrong way, but why are you getting an Egyptian, which can grow to almost 3 feet long, when you posted on the bearded dragon board that you just lost your job and couldn't afford $20/week for crickets for your bearded dragons? Again, don't take this the wrong way, but it seems you should concentrate on taking care of the reptiles you have now and not get any more till you get back on your feet. You need to think of the welfare of the animals already in your care.

the main difference is that with a mali you'll need a minimum cage size of 4' x 2', with an egyptian you'll probably need something at minimum 8' x 4', or even larger since they get huge. Please make sure you will be able to provide this size of enclosure, enough lighting and heat to get proper temp gradients (including a very increased monthly power bill), plus the larger amount of food that they eat, before even considering getting one.
