Wow, I just realized I answered in the wrong thread...lets try this again.
For bulbs I recommend using T-Rex Active UV Heat mercury vapor bulbs. Last I checked they put out the most UVA/UVB and last the longest. I use 100 watt bulbs and have no problem getting the proper temps.
For basking I put down a piece of slate, adjust height of the bulb and use a infrared temp gun to get the desired temperature.
For food, if you have a yard I would suggest growing some Hollyhock. Uro's LOVE the flowers they produce. Mix some Hollyhock blooms in with the normal diet. My uro can't get enough of them...
I found Deer Fern Farms to have some very good info. http://www.deerfernfarms.com/Uromastyx_Care.htm
