I was right, the uromastyx I was looking at wasn't a mali, but a Saharan (explains the orange color). Haven't actually brought it home yet, but I paid for it and took some pictures....

I think it looks like it's in good shape, but since this will be my first uro, I'd appreciate having anything pointed out that I may have missed.
This one's supposed to be around a year old - I know color is usually the best way to sex most uromastyx species, but I'll stick a photo of the vent on here as well - maybe someone out there can give me a guess as to if it's a boy or girl (the petstore that this one originally came from has a larger one with less color right now, i don't know if that might indicate a sex difference, or just individual color variation)
