Free Juvenile Egyptian Uro about 9 inches, need gone ASAP. 
I need my Egyptian Uro gone to make room for something else i got, i dont really want to make money from him just as long as someone will take care of it right. I live in Oklahoma City if anyone is close for a pickup of him or if someone wants it shipped overnight you can paypal me money for shipping thats all. Hes healthy, no parasites, just pretty skittish. Let me know. Thanks.

If I had the room for it I’d take it...but no vacancy here :( I would post a thread on Herp Center and Uromastyx.org, which should help get the word out there. If you would like, I could do that for you since I’m a member of both forums. In any case, I would urge you to send it to someone with knowledge of the species rather than just anyone just to offload it asap--wouldn’t want to issue it a death sentence or send it to someone who may turn around and do the same thing you’re doing now (no offense, of course).
On another note, what did you end up ’replacing’ it with?

Im replacing it with a "friendly" adult banded Uro, i really just dont have years of patience to wait and see if my Egyptians temperament will change, i really want to be able to watch one during the day instead of it hiding.

So i asked the place i ordered from what they have been feeding the Uro that i bought and they said "crickets, bird seed, and a little greens", hahha that is crazy, clearly unaware of the diet requirements. So my question is, what is the best way to transition him to what i feed which is endive/escarole? Should i wean him off crickets like throw in one or two every couple days or what?

Agreed--cold turkey. It should take up a vegetarian diet straight away.

Is your Egyptian Uro still available? I would love to have him/her! I’m looking for one.

some uro’s will take a long while to accept a keeper. My Egyptian still does not fully trust me. Mine would run and hide when I entered the room for about two years. she is 4 now and just starting to come around and not be stressed when I’m around.Its not a few days,weeks,moths it can be much longer. I believe you acted to quickly. Most rescues do a piss poor job keeping lizards. especially one that will need a very large cage. If I were in usa I would have picked the uro up. I personally could not give up any animal. I hope your new uro does well and I hope the Egyptian is in good hands.

I’m not sure what all the fuss is about...the OP no longer has the Uro and has already given it up to an animal rescue.

rescues usually try and keep contact with the person who gives the animal up in case they can find a home later. rescues usually don’t have much room especially for the care of an Aegyptia that requires large living area and more electricity than ’shelters’ want to pay not to mention the fresh varried diet that should be provided daily and special lighting.

As far as people involved in this thread are concerned the Uro is no longer in the OP’s care. You may want to leave it at that.

So what would have been the accepted way to give him up if nobody was interested in buying it? I think probably alot of people would have just let it go outside somewhere if no other options. Sure a small operation reptile rescue might not have a 125 gallon tank for the Uro but I must tell you that the person that runs the rescue had a Uromastyx for 15 years so its in good hands and not in the local river :)

There are some rescues that do a fantastic job with their lizards but there are just as many if not more bad ones. If you found one of the good ones than you did what is right if you really needed to relocate the animal. However I am personally of the belief that if you bring an animal into your life you are 100% responsible for it no matter what problems or issues it may have, by relocating a shy animal you have just prolonged any chance if acclimation that it may have. Whrn you bring that animal into your home you make that commitment to it, it’s much like iwhen you bring a baby or child into your life. You can’t replace your child if it’s personality doesn’t match your lifestyle so how would that make your animal disposable?

While that analogy is a bit extreme the basis of it is sound enough. The responsible thing to do would have been to keep it until you yourself could find a proper home for it. It’s not like the animal presented any danger to you or anyone else nor was it a matter of whether or not you lacked the ability to care for it. The reasoning behind why you gave the animal up does not call for the action you took, in my opinion. That said, what’s done is done...

I very happily make that analogy I have pets instead if children right now and when I chose to own an animal that is still technically a wild animal even if it is captive bred I knew that I would have to change my life around their life instead of trying to force them to change. Much like it happens when you have a kid.

Like i said it went to someone who had a Uro for 15 years which IS a proper home, i am sure they know how to care for it having one that long. My reasoning makes perfect sense, I wanted a Uro to observe on a daily basis not on a once-every-three-month basis, Im not going to wait 10 years just to see if it might become more friendly, life is too short for that. I highly doubt he is going through some emotional struggles as well.

No, you found someone to find a home for it...an Animal Rescue is not a home just like a humane society is not a home. While that person may have the ability to care for the animal, unless they have the intention of keeping it you’ve basically just passed the buck.

does this hurt you inside personally or something? has this kept you up at night? some of you think you are just uromastyx elitists and that is why you guys are dummy to new people on here constantly including me when i first came here months ago and thats the reason you only see posts by the same few people that just want to see their words on the screen, there is only a handful of regulars here for that reason, this forum is dead. I know how to raise a uro now so its not like i even need to come on here , theres other forums where the people arent elitists.
Maybe ill get two more and house them together just to keep you guys up at night worrying.

Don’t get confused, I’m not at all that concerned and this has nothing to do with being an "elitist"...I just pointed out your apparent irresponsibility in the matter. If you’re offended by that, then so be it, but that was not my intent. It just is what it is.
Hopefully the animal finds a good home in the end--that’s all that matters :)
