Anyway when I got them they came in a 55 gallon tank with really stinky substrate and were covered in poo and stuck shed. So I cleaned out the tank, put down these puppy pad like liners and put zero in there. I got another tank and did the same and put pluto in it. Now they have proper heating and lighting. But the thing is they poo a lot and its reallly reallly stinky. I was wondering if there was anything I could use to as a substrate to neutralize the smell? (btw theyre very small so thats why theyre not in bigger tanks yet)

I'm not very familiar with this species, but how long has she not been eating? Have you tried offering her different foods to entice her?
Since she's female, sometimes things like hormone/temperature/season change can affect a lizard's behavior and may cause them to fast.
Most reptiles can go a while without eating, but you may want to seek out a vet's advice -- I don't want to tell you she's fine in case she isn't. Or join a reptile forum that has more experienced uromastyx keepers that you can talk to.
EDIT: I see you posted this a while ago, so hopefully she's doing better now, but my advice still stands to talk to either a vet or someone with experience if she's still not eating. Hope this helps ^^

Aw man I want a northern blue tongue skink so bad!! Northerners don't need as much humidity as some of the other species (and are also typically less wild caught I think?) And I live in a dry place so that's probably what would work best for me out of the blues. But they are so many species of them and it's interesting to learn about them??? There's this guy I found on YouTube who makes great videos about them--he's actually a breeder that lives in my state. His username is ReptileMountain.TV
