I don't think I've ever shared any pictures of my two uros, so here you go!
First one is named Knox, not really sure why and I'm not even sure it suits him too much but that's what I chose haha. He was being kept in a sort of reptile hoarders home. We drove almost two hours to get to her house. She had a split maybe 120 gallon tank. Split in 1/4 and 3/4ths. On the smaller side were two beardies, on the other was 20 leopard geckos. She had Knox in a small tank with improper heating and woodchips (like all her reptiles)..she was breeding leopard geckos as well, and she had who knows how many other reptiles in there..it was horrible. I was able to come out with Knox, and convinced her to let me leave with four leopard geckos as well. One that she was keeping for future breeding projects but I asked for her multiple times and she let me have her..her tail was as skinny as a pencil.
Anyway, Knox from what I know is a male. I believe he's a saharan? Correct me if I'm wrong. He's not too tame but once he's picked up, he allows it. He didn't eat for maybe two weeks after being here and barely moved. I got him into a nice proper tank with good heating, and now he eats like a pig! He's slowly coming around to me and will stay around the door for food around feeding time, but sometimes will take off running if I move too fast for his liking.

And second one is Shrooms, I believe he is a male as well. I think he's a mali uro. Someone surrendered him to me along with his tank and stuff. He seemed to be well cared for, he was in a large wooden box, only thing is there was loads of dried food and feces in it, it was obviously being neglected for a little while .He definitely isn't too skinny, though. He was pretty big when he first came here but he's been moving around more and with a good diet, lost a bit of weight. He wasn't too active when he first got here, he was pretty much just a rock but now he's active and always runs around, and he scratches at his dish whenever he's hungry. He also gives me looks when I walk by his tank and sort of nods his head like he's saying "yo" haha.
