Depends on what size you are wanting the animal to reach when adult?
Nile Monitors get really big and can have quite the temper if they are not handled on a regular basis. Uromastyx are much smaller and they are eaasier to handle because of their size, figure about the size of a bearded dragon. But they also have a nasty bite.
I think you should decide what you want instead of having us vote. Some of us can give a nile monitor their own backyard to live. Others can only house a uromastyx comfortably in a big tank. The question you should be asking is to yourself.
Do you have the room to house a nile monitor that will be 5 1/2 feet? Or will you be better of housing a uromastyx that will reach 14 inches in length?
