I am currently a third year veterinary student with experience working with wildlife in South Africa and exotics at various zoos, as well as small animals, horses, and large animals. Right now I am thinking of working in zoo and wildlife medicine when I graduate. I have been working with horses for about 15 years now, and I currently own 4 bearded dragons, 2 uromastyx, a green iguana, a basilisk, and a leopard tortoise.

 is the heat. They need it really hot, like 130 degrees F hot. Now that he's gotten used to us, he is more active around the tank and doesn't hide until he wants to sleep. He does like to dig, so if you want to keep them on something simple like paper towels, be prepared for a lot of shredding. I've found that once he got a little bit bigger he does well on coconut fiber. Since he's not eating off of the ground I am not worried about impaction, and even if he did eat some of it, it's digestible. And he loves to dig in it. Egyptians get very large as they get older though, so be prepared to get a large tank. And since they are so hardy they are not as delicate as some of the other breeds of uromastyx, so be prepared for them to live 15 years or so, if they're taken care of properly.){kind=link}
