I would definitely move the uromastyx so its out of sight. Its possible your dragon is seeing it as a rival male.

I would offer other insects instead of waxworms since they are so fattening. Try silkworms, butterworms, hornworms (not wild caught as wild ones are toxic, but the farm/captive bred ones are fine) or even roaches. Switching insects every couple weeks will help prevent your dragon getting bored. Also, nothing wrong with offering plain old crickets too.

It isn't too unusual for adults to hold their poop in though a month is a long time. What sort of substrate do you have? When he does go, is it hard or soft? (the poop of course) or does he show any signs of straining as though trying to poop but cannot?

More details about your setup will be useful as well, such as cage size, actual temps, substrate, age of dragon etc.
