Does anybody knows a link where i can find an Uro's Growth Chart?My babies are around 12 inches and i wonder how old are they.Thanks!

i do not know where you can find a growth chart however, 12 inches is most likely sub adult, almost a full grown adult, maybe around 1 1/2 to 3 years old? not positive but a guess. it also depends on the breed, malis i would say sub adult, CLOSE to full adult size and for a saharan i would say adult. or close to it. those are the two breeds i believe you have...
Good luck someone else might be better qualified to answer the mali size...

Do you think Brioche is a Saharan because she is dark orange/almost red?According to the petshop salesman she became that color in only one day!!!!!!!!?????Is that possible?

It might be saharan, i saw a uro in a local pet store the other day, in a 5 gallon tank...ERRRR that makes me mad, but it was definatly a male saharan, i would have taken it home but i won't put two males together. It was in good health however they were selling it as a mali...but whatever...
To your question, i can believe that it "turned" that color in one day. When uros are not warmed up enough or do not have proper lighting they become very dull i have found. When Rico is really warmed up or outside in the sun he is a beautiful orange color. When he is a little cold (like when the power went off in my home!) he became a duller color. I yours is a female it might have been a brown color when it was cold. My female a yellow saharan is brown until she warms up a bit hten you can see hints of yellow on her.
Thats what i think *might* be.
