LizzyBob- aegyptius? boy or girl?

Bits9532 Mar 22, 2005 04:31 PM

This is LizzyBob, named that way beacause we do not know if she/he is female or male. Hoping someone can tell us. We think she is an Egyptian Uro, but not sure. Any information you have would be appreciated. She is nine inches long now, got her almost three years ago in August 2002. She was about 4-5 inches long. Does anyone know the sex and species of our Uro.?

Hi,

It looks more like a Mali, but I don't have Malis or Egyptians, so it is a guess. As far as the sex is concerned, it would be easier if we had a picture from the bottom side if you know what I mean...Beautiful uro by the way.

I have 2 malis (one male, one female), no egyptians. From what I've seen, Egyptians don't get really dark like that with that much yellow.

Here's a pic of my male mali from the top for comparison.

1.1 Mali Uromastyx (Ra and Isis)
1.1 Satanic Leaftail Geckos (Diablo and Samael)

Definitely Mali. Here's another picture for comparison.
