Now this assumes you are going to buy a sulcata that is proportional to the tank and the Uromastyx. In other words, your getting a small sulcata. This also assumes that you are going to keep them together. (which seems to me implied)
Act I
Scene 1
(after warming up the hungry Uromastyx begins to forage) Hmmmmm (she/he says) This looks like a tasty Lentil wedged in this rock. No problem. (whack)(morsel extracted) Mmmmmmm, tastes just like chicken.
Act II
scene 1
(on close examination on the progress of the new tank mates) AAAAAAAGHHHH!!!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY SULCATAS HEAD!?!?!?!?

(you get the picture)

Unfortunately, this is a real scenario except that it happened with a Bearded and a leopard Tortoise and the head wasn't removed but you can see how this can happen with a Uromastyx.
