My new Uromastyx..a Mali?

[blonde.for.life]

Picked 'him' up last weekend. Hes a bit shy still but is coming out more and more. Had alot more color today and was exploring the other side of his cage finally..Can anyone for sure say if its a Mali? He was marked morrocan but from what ive read thats doubtful..

Not sure on the ID but I have an ornate uromastyx and he's arguably the most personable reptile I've ever known, good luck with yours!

Uromastyx ftw I have a u. Philbyi and he is the best pet ever, I can't see the pics on my IPod but I'm sure someone else could help

Thanks guys. Ive been told now that it is in fact a moroccan. At the pet store where i got it i held it quite a few times before i bought it and it was totally calm and crawled all over me checking things out and now all it does is hide and run away if we go near it..not exactly what i was hoping for

they probably didn't have the proper heating, it may just be stressed, don't touch it for a week, maybe two and then just slowly let it get used to you and eventually handling will be ok
