I have a Mali Uromastyx, it is a desert lizard found in Africa and parts of the middle east. Hes getting bigger now so I am moving him into a 55 gallon tank. I need new trees and rocks for him because hes also outgrowing the ones in his tank. I went to PetCo yesterday but they had like 6 things to choose from, and they were all too small. Where can I find a good variety to choose from. A store with alot to choose from, or an internet site I can order from, either will work. Thank you all. :)

Proper husbandry of the Mali Uromastyx and most other breeds of Uro calls for no cage decorations, the simpler the better and this is for the safety of your Uro. Please see the below info I have pasted off of a care sheet of an excellent Uro site. I will paste the link below so that you can read the whole thing, which I strongly suggest, it has some great info!
U.Maliensis:
ENCLOSURES: These are very active, heat loving lizards that thrive in a hot, dry desert environment. A vivarium set up that closely resembles their natural environment should be provided. Less is more, is a good idea as These lizards are diggers and anything too elaborate will make for a messy habitat. Avoid any organic edibles, such as live plants, which are usually destroyed or eaten. Plastic cage decorations that resemble live plants should be also avoided, as these herbivorous lizards have been known to ingest plastic plants mistaken for food.

Go to DrsFostersSmith.com, it's a site run by two Reptile Vets, great selection, reasonable prices.
