I've got Uros in my collection, and they are NOT a beginnner lizard. Most found in pet stores are Mali Uromastyx-- U. dispar maliensis--and are wild-caught adults in poor health. Overstressed and often parasite-laden, you've a greater chance of them dying than anything.
They need UVA and UVB exposure, just like iguanas, and a basking area of 120 degrees fahrenheit. They eat veggies as well. Most won't drink from a water bowl, so spraying the tank a couple times a week to let them drink from the sides of the cage or the cage furniture is a must.
Think of them as mini-iguanas from a much hotter, drier climate. If someone couldn't handle an iguana, they don't need a Uro.
