you are keeping the cage to cold. They need a top of 110 to 120. Get an under the tank heart and put it under half of the tank and then get a heat lamp and put it over top of the cage. I have been raing and breeding uromastyx for 2 years. If you have any other questions feel free to eamil me at brandibear1983@yahoo.com

Sounds like he is just in bermation. Now, IF I spelled that right..lol... that is a type of hibernation. Lizards generally do it in colder climates. Look it up.... See if that fits him. But don't worry too much. Put him in a tub of luke warm water (NOT over his head) to make sure he is not constipated.... (IF he goes in the tub... which is likely if he is constipated.. then you will have to disinfect it) Try changing what greens you are feeding him. Look up on line to see what they eat and try a variety! Good luck!

Babies are hard to get to eat - ask the pet store what they've been feeding it. Check the temp & moisture levels, too

You should have a wildlife refuge or aspca near you , you can take it to them and they have animal experts and veterinarians who will know if somethings wrong.
