Male? So i have 2 males, Muffin and the red one.If it is a male i have to change his name from Brioche to Waffles, lol!Do you think they are going to fight?
Another thing i thought Saharan are more tame than Malis but the new one is MUCH more skittish than my Mali Muffin!

It looks like a yellow Saharan to me. A word of caution: That sick Uro could have numerous parasites and other pathogens that could be transmitted to your healthy one. It may be too late now but I would put him in a seperate cage. You never know why he looks the way he does and a sick lizard with a lowered immune system is a perfect host for attacking viruses, bacteria and protists.

That being said you have done a wonderful job with many of the animals you brought in and I commend you for that. I remember the picture of your small bearded dragon with severe MBD and can't believe he is doing so well. I hope everything goes just as well with your new addition.

Thanks for your message!
Yes, i think im a lucky person because most of the half dead reptiles i brought home became healthy again.My Fly River turtles, my iguana, my Bearded, my uro, my Monkey Tail...But sometimes i made mistakes too! Another day one of my babies salamanders died because of me!She got stuck inside her food bowl because she ate too much and the food bowl hole was too small for her big belly!Sniff...sniff...
