A hatchling maybe kept in a 20 gallon long (30 x 12 x 12 ½) until they reach juvenile stage. They should then be moved up to a 40-gallon (36 x 18 x 17) or a 50-gallon (38 x 13 x 21). Adults should not be kept in any smaller.

Mind you this is talking about a single lizard.

You can keep alone or in breeding pairs. Females can be kept together but never two males. Care should be taken when housing in pairs and if aggression is observed you should separate the animals.

I'm not that up on Uros, but if they are babies I am not sure that they are sexable. Possibly by an experienced breeder.
Certainly not by some kid at petsmart.

From the caresheet.......

Sexing - Uromastyx Caresheet

You can sometimes tell by coloration. Look at pictures on the web and try to find one that matches. Male malis are usually dark black with yellow spots. Females are more subdued and sand colored. However, there are "male mimic females" and "female mimic males" which happen every so often. Basically, you can't tell for sure until they try to breed.
Males also tend to have larger femoral pores on the underside of the hind legs and hemipene buldges, sometimes having a broader head, but not always 100% true.
Females, femoral pores are much smaller.

You think they would fight even if they grew up together ?? They both look dark black to me

**Merlin** · #19 01-15-2008, 12:43 PM

Yes. In fact the older they get the worse the fighting will become.
