Just wanted to introduce you to our newest family member. He is a gift to my Girlfriend for Christmas. He is a Mali Uromastyx, male I think, and seems to be in great condition and has a cute personality. He is a bit skittish and I would not trust my fingers in front of his face, but other then that sound. Just wanted to introduce him before I left my broadband connection for the holiday weekend, I hope you enjoy.

Hes a cutie!! Uros have the cutest faces, congrats to the girlfriend on the new addition...have a name yet

youre probablly right about it being male, though there are some immitations. Uros are usually not ones to bite but still be careful. They have a pretty good teeth

It is a cutie. What is his name? Dose your girlfriend like it?

You don't have to worry about probably. A Mali is one of the easiest lizard to sex.

"By maturity, many male Mali Uromastyx reach lengths up to 16 inches. Females usually grow to about a foot in length. Male Mali Uromastyx have black heads and tails. Their front feet are gold in color, and usually they show gold markings over their backs. Females are brownish in color, and have flecks of black accenting their bodies. Their bodies tend to be more slender than those of males."

Oh, and another thing. Be ready for a long time commitment. Mali's have an average lifespan of 50 years.
