Uromastyx require an enclosure including a heat source and special lighting, and a vegetarian diet. A good book to get is Uromastyx Complete Herp Care by John F. Taylor.

A large enclosure, with good ventilation, and good heating are essential. They are desert dwellers, so sand (for adults) is a good substrate, and they are primarily herbivorous.
