Hi

I have a male and female uromastyx, I think they are ornates.
I have another male, not sure of what type he is.
Can I house them together?

You can, it is best if you keep the different species apart if breeding. Also you will need to watch closely for aggression and fighting. Ornates are notorious for being difficult to pair and house together. They can be cranky. Welcome to the forum!

I Actually have no idea what my other Uro is.

As for breeding there’s only like 3 people in my country that have successfully bred them

Looks like a Moraccan to me. Nice looking animal.

No you can't for several reasons!

Males will fight together if you put males together 1 will die eventually, or they will fight to death or the stress will kill the .

Please don't put different species of Uromastyx together they will try and breed and you will get hybrids wich in my opinion is really bad for the hobby.

Why do you want to put anything with a good compatible pair of ornates? Just be glad you can house the ornates together, there are lots of people on the forum that house their uromastyx seperate because they will fight, you gat a nice pair of ornates that can be housed together and you want to put another species with it............Why??????

So don't do it!
