There seems to be a confusion between the Mali and Golden Uros. It is the Mali Uro - Uromastyx dispar maliensis that is no longer legally exported from Mali, their natural range. Golden Uros - Uromastyx dispar dispar, which resemble Malis are not illegal (as far as I know) to export from Chad. It seems that the Golden Uro is being used as a replacement for Malis. Although there are differences between the two subspecies, they in fact look very similar.
