looks good.. what are the dimensions, and you dont house thoes together always, do you.. well to tell you the truth i dont know uros living conditions

Thanks,
the dims are 56'' long X 28 wide and 25 high. Well normally theres a female beardie with the male that lives in it . Im conducting an experiment Iv had the Uro for 4 months now and have had them bask in the same former beardie cage but not left unattended at first. In the new one i have and its been 3 weeks without incident. Uros and beardies are quite compatible when it comes to care, except for more vegitation for the uro as well as a more hotter basking spot. This uro has been thriving on beardie pellets quite well too. I know there must be several herpers $hitting their pants now by me admitting that i keep them together and breaking every unwritten herp law but its been working fine, theres lots of room and foods always available. The key here is that its a male and female who had a chance to grow up together, so as not to cause as much tension. I did my experiment carefully tho. I don't condone nor encourage anyone else to attempt the same.

are they from the same area.. sorry i know nothing about uros..

what about pythagines ( sp?) i think thats the word..

The odd thing about them is that they are Not, but thier conditions are relatively the same. Uros are from Africa and the middle east and love the desert/sand, they have no use for water dishes (like beardies) and are almost vegetarians (they will eat small cricks and mealworms on a whim). They tame simmilarly well and are mostly non-aggressive (exept males during mating). They love thier basking spots HOT too, so she gets a higher ledge.

Its hilarious to see the male Beardie bob his head away and flare up at the female beardie and then the uros just like "ya your the stud... but now im gonna use you as a step to get to the higher bask spot..."

As for Pathogines.. which i think you are meaning transmittable ilnessess iv read of others who have done this with success, which is where i got the idea. Its an experiment like i mentioned, im prepared to take whatever care will be needed. For now they live happily :D
