Uromastyx, does any one know?

Hi everyone, i was planning on getting a beardi (i really wanted one) but i cannot afford to feed it insects only vegies and fruits. So i found a lizard pet thats strictly vegetarian: the Mali Uromastyx. But the thing is im not 100% sure how to care for one. Help? What lighting does it need? How much food do u let a baby and or adult eat? What about substrates? Are they all the same like beardies? I here they beed the same tank sizes, and places to hide under. Thank you in advance!

I found this care sheet that might help & I'm going to move your request to a different area of this site.

So.. lights.. UV for sure.. and heat. They need a significantly higher basking spot than a bearded dragon. A basking spot between 125-130 would be good. My uro has a large slate tile.. the middle is around 135, and it gradually lowers out to about 110 at the edges.

Let a baby eat as much as it wants.. same as an adult.

Substrate.. solid rocky surface is good. I use slate tiles from Lowes.

They are not all the same.. there are several difference species and they vary in size. A mali uromastyx is a mid sized species.

They do not need the same tank sizes as a beardie. Only the smallest of uromastyx can stay in a 40g tank. An Egyptian would need a house that's at least 8 feet by 4 feet. A mali would probably live ok in a house thats 4 feet by 2 feet.

They need several hides.. and they like super low profile hides. They like to feel the floor on their belly and the roof on their backs.

Also.. read Urowiki.

Thank you guys, ive read both and they had alot of good useful information. Also Deer Fern Farms.
