Favorite uro species?

I don't have any uros yet. But, they are one of the lizards I would definately like to get into in the future. I thought it would be interesting to find out from the uro keepers out there what their favorite species are and why.

I have kept Malis and Moroccans (still have 0.1 Moroccan). The Malis were much more personable and handleable where the Moroccans just wanted to get away. As for beauty I'd love to have ornates, the ones with mostly green, not blue. They are very interesting animals to keep.

I like the Malis and the Red Saharans.
I am like Karen, my dream one day is to own an ornate.
I really like the uros because I don't have to feed them live animals and they seem like a calm reptile. Sometimes they almost look like they are smiling at you.
Our first one was a Mali, "Mr. Tater Head". We named him that because when you looked down on him, his head was almost the perfect shape of Mr. Potato Head.
I like to rub their little fat cheeks and watch them go to sleep! Their little brown eyes are so cute!
They don't seem to want to wander off as badly as our beardies! They are pretty content to just sit on us and stay warm.
I hope to own some cb saharans one day and an Indian. The Indians are supposed to have great personalities also.

I have a mali i just purchased about a month ago and she is very calm and tame i don't have much experience with other uros but for a beginner malis are a good choice and probably easiest to find.

My favorite is the Egyptian uro. I like the Mali also they are easier to find then a lot of uros.

I have a Mali, which is the furthest extent of my care with them. The ornates are just killer looking. I have watched an Egyptian once for two weeks and it was not nearly as social, all it wanted to do was run and hide. Though it could have simply been that particular Uro just did not like people.

I've had 3 Mali's and 2 Nigerian. My female Max was awesome....she would role over on her back doing the breeding "slap" on her chest. and the males would just look at her like DUH???? She would actually try to jump for wax worms (since they get only 10% protein in their diets) I could actually call her and hand feed her peas, carrots, and dandelion flowers. I gave her to Daniel and Wendy of Scales 4 years ago.....I still miss her.

Well, I'd like to say Uracentron, but I'm not sure because there isn't much info on them, so I'm not sure if they belong as a uro species or iguana species, because i've seen them listed under both. I don't have any yet, but I'm working on getting a pair of them soon. Otherwise, I'd probably say either the Malis or Egyptians.
