Hey, just wondering if anyone here has a Moroccan Uro... I haven't really seen any readily available, but we got a hatchling in at the pet shop I work at, and he's so cute!! I'd buy him in a heartbeat if I had the room/$$$, but my boss jokingly forbid me to get him since he wants to actually turn a profit, lol... Anyway, I just haven't seen that much of this species and would love to hear from anyone who has one, maybe even see some pictures I need to take my camera in to work and get some pics before we sell him...

So would i! I haven't ever seen one in person, and have wanted to for a while. Please do get some pictures.

I have a pair since 5 years-enjoy the pics

And one of their offspring

They are stunning, the yellow is so vivid. Congrats on the baby, how many did you have? Thank you for sharing.

I had a stunning yellow/green female Moroccan for about a year.
She was very shy and did bite me twice....
Thankfully she was only 10" not like my male Egyptian who clamped down on my index finger and made it numb for two days....
I sold her about a year ago to a guy up north.
She barely made it through the shipment because she arrived cold - both heat packs seemed to have failed.
The guys was really upset(so was I)-I offered him his money back, but we lost touch--so I do not know of her status now.
She seemed to grow much slower than my egyptians, Ornates , or even my Hardwicki.

She was very pretty, just not real friendly.
I have read others that are fairly friendly so it is a case by case scenario...
