I have two female moroccans, a large one and a small one. The larger one is very tame, and has the same temperment as the average cb mali. She acts just like a mali, never bites, never tail-wips, and never shows any agression towards cagemates or me. The smaller female tail-wips, even though she is only 100 grams she actually attacks my 250 gram mali male. She is very agressive toward cage mates and me. She is so agressive I think i am going to isolate her for life. Even though she is 1/2 the size of all the adults she is too agressive to be with them. So some moroccans are nice and are as tame as every single uro out there, but others are very agressive. It just depends on the personality of the moroccan you get. I would get a moroccan, but make sure you get a tame one. I dont know what to do with my little girl. She is beautiful, but is so darn agressive. I say get a moroccan, but make sure it is a tame one, not an agressive one.

Hello,

Moroccan Uromastyx can become the tamest of Uromastyx. I keep 6:3 Moroccans and only two of them are not tame. All the others are ridiculously tame. They are also one of the most hardy species of Uromastyx.
