Re: Any Breeding Experience?
From the caresheet...
Breeding Behavior/Brumation - Uromastyx Caresheet Uros will enter a period of reduced activity during the winter months. This is called brumation and is similar to, but not as complete as hibernation. They may come out only for a few minutes a day and eat very little food due to the reduced activity level. This is completely normal and happens whether you want it to or not. In fact, brumation is required for breeding purposes in many/most reptiles to simulate conditions in the wild and result in viable sperm and eggs. You may maintain the exact same conditions in the cage as during the summer, but the lizards know. Brumation may last a month or two or three. Once the male and female have brumated and well fed after brumation, they can be introduced. The male would bob his head dramatically and circle the females. They would press their snout into the females side and push and sometimes bite. The females would roll on their backs and the males lay on top so that their bellies were touching. Copulation was not observed during these displays of behavior. The male would pursue the female around the cage biting her neck. When he secured a good hold on the back of her neck she stopped running and he moved his tail under hers and inserted his hemipene. After the breeding process has taken place, gestation takes from four to six weeks. A nesting box should be provided and the male removed from the females enclosure. You can use a mixture of 50/50 sand and vermiculite or potting soil. Once the eggs are laid they should be placed into the incubator with temps at 92-93 degrees (F). Estimate time of hatching is 80-90 days. Eggs should be ½ buried and spray around the egg every couple of days, never on the egg itself.

Re: Any Breeding Experience?
there is some truth to all that about brumation. but this only occurs in the wild. it can occur in the home if you change there light times and temps. most people at home have there lights on 12/12 I believe to get them to brumate you have to cut the lights down dramaticlly and the temps. in the wild there is seasons and believe it or not there is a winter in the desert and the temps drop down quite a bit and also the amount of sun. IM not 100 percent sure that you have to put a uro into brumation in order to get them to mate but I am shure that in order to get them into bumation that they just dont do it on there own (in the home that is). You should type in your searchbar uromastyx forums and there is a couple more forums out there. there is one that has about 4 breeders that know alot. if your lookin to breed I would suggest talking to one of them on the other forum. but at I warned you via email be prepared for some rude comments expecially when they see pics of your uros together and in that small of a tank. Basically they have no tact and dont know how to tell someone in a nice way they need something bigger or better.Good luck though. sorry I your not the one with the 2 uros that is samantha. but I would still talk to the others about breeding
