A uromastyx is a lizard with a spiky tail, a flattened body, and a robust build. They have scales in various shades of brown, yellow, orange, or red, and some species may have patterns or markings. Their heads are slightly triangular and they have round, protruding eyes.
The smallest Uromastyx is probably the Saharan uromastyx, at a little more than a foot in length. The largest is definitely the Egyptian Uro, which can reach three feet. The most common Uro in the pet trade is either the Ornate Uro (about the same size as the Saharan) or the Mali Uro (about 15-16" in length).
