Please be sure you've studied up and have the proper environment before you get a uro. They're a bit specialized in their needs.

Ive talked with yeti enough to know he will take great care of his uro and wont get one if he cant meet the requirements 
But I agree with you wreckwriter, anyone getting any new animal really should ensure all the animal's environmental needs are met Uros seem like they would be more difficult than your garden variety snake or lizard. |

They're not difficult, just different. With most herps we struggle to get the humidity up, with uros we struggle to keep it down, etc.

This is a stupid question, but since they require such low humidity, are shedding problems common?

Not really. They constantly shed for the most part, dropping patches of skin here and there.
