What Kind Of Uro?

[Rusty]

I just got a uromastyx as a gift but I have no idea what species of Uro it is... Can you help me out? Here are the pics.

Wow...you need to crop or resize that last picture.


I don't know one Uro from another, but I CAN tell you this: He's a cute little booger!!

Looks like a red niger uro to me! Very nice! Do be sure to get a fecal done, most uros in the pet trade, unless purchased from one of the few breeders, are imports.

Better?

Yeah, that works, too. He really is cute. Does he have a name yet?

I think I'm going to name it Panjabi, but it's killing me not knowing what kind of species it is.

Well, Jeanne offered what appears to be a very educated suggestion. A quick google of "red niger" brought up some pics that look exactly like your little guy, so I'd say Jeanne is right on the money with that one.
