Too small for a royal, 3 x 2 x 2 is more suited for one

not all geckos would be comfortable in there

Uros like lots of spac to dig and scrap so 60cm is to small really most require 4ft but I would recommand more as they like a big temp grad which difficult with a small viv. It may be ok for a baby to begin with but will only be a short time till it needs an up grade

Smallest species of uromastyx is the ocellata which reaches 28cm, they still need at least 4ft viv as mentioned they love running around and digging very active lizards

If its 60cm tall you should look at crested geckos, if lengthwise dont bother lol
