Witnessed my CB Rainbow Benti Uros breeding for the first time today.
The females are to strong for the male, he bites there necks and the females drag him around until he lets go. So I put them in a narrow tank with bricks so he could pin his female and guess what it worked today for the first time my #1 male rainbow benti breed my #2 female rainbow benti.

Alexandra's Male Hardwickii, Female Hardwickii, Male Mali and Female Mali.
barely 5 3/4 inches in length, weighing only 20 grams.
Alexandra's Male Hardwickii Oscar and Female Hardwickii Junior.
Males tend to be more grey, which is why I suspect Oscar to be a male.
He has a lot of growing ahead of him to catch up with Junior :)
He's about 11 inches and weighs 116 grams.
Alexandra's Male Hardwickii Oscar relaxing.
Alexandra's Female Mali Elmo.
All about Elmo... brought home May 9, 2004 together with Precious.
We were told they were 1 year old. May 2005 Update...
he is a she... the store had her and Precious backwards. :)
Alexandra's Female Mali Elmo. Weighing in at 66 grams.
Alexandra's Female Mali Elmo.
She is now 8 5/8 inches long and weighs 80 grams.
That's a big difference between her and Precious, considering they
were practically the same size and weight last year May.
Alexandra's Female Hardwickii Junior.
8 inches @ 42grams.
Alexandra's Female Hardwickii Junior.
Junior perched on one of her favorite logs to see
what's going on around her. She's 114 grams

Leilah has a thing about holding Sammael down so she can get the food first.
Sammael wanted to be named Spike, but I told him that was a little obvious.
What? Do I have some food on my face or something?
What a pretty boy!

Michael Shelton
Male Mali named Kiros
Age - About 7 years
Length about 8-10 inches
Favorite pastime chasing the cats
He has been one of the most docile and lovable lizards to ever grace our lives.
I love animal psychology, in their world if they cannot see us then we do not exist.
Kind of like the cat trying to be sneaky so it can pounce on the cricket in the grass.
When the cat is so close to a blade of grass that it can no longer see the cricket,
then surely the cricket cannot see the cat.
Two more, this time babies, these beautiful Malis are just awesome and CBBs.
Color pictures of Kiros.
Uromastyx in Daytona 2006.
Uromastyx in Daytona 2006.
Yes, that special one came home with me, a little Ornate beauty.
Great temperament and does love those hibiscus flowers.
For whatever reason, my new little Uro loves to sleep upright against the corner
of its cage. I am guessing it sleeps this way right after eating as every time I pick it
up from this position its belly is really full. It looks uncomfortable with its tail all pushed
up into the spine, but it does not seem to be a bother for it.
I told this one she would be wearing her food if she gave me any attitude,
so to get back at me she went ahead and
made a new hat.

09/11/2009 Thomasi2 from Taiwan incubation method.
I use Hova
incubator, but I don't use it's auto-heating system
I use heat tape to continue heating to maintain Temp to
about 33~35*C
About humidity , out side the eggs container the water
is filled so it's humidity is very high.
But in the container the humidity is very low , the
weight of substrate : water about 5:1
almost dry, I also put the mix in the button and a
little dry substrate on it
But in the late phase, especially when babies is coming
out, I will add humidity or put some well moistened paper towel with the eggs.

Yummy baby hatchling even

they are remarkably relaxed
Uromastyx ocellata ocellata
in hot dog rolls. Tastes like chicken. Uromastyx hardwickii
Had four of these, gave one away (social problems) and lost one (health problems).
The other two are still rolling along four years later. Uromastyx hardwickii
Peekaboo. Uromastyx geryi Weight watchers is calling.
Apprehension is the rule with this one.
Unhappy lizard goes to the vet. Although not visible in the x-ray,
the vet indicated massive of cancer after the necropsy.
Free lizard! Someone found this guy cruising around Irvine
(knowing he didn't belong outside in CA) and turned him in to my vet
as a stray. Don't know how long he was out there but he's full of personality
and definitely a wild one. Lucky a bird didn't get him, the only thing he could
possibly camouflage is my Dainese riding jacket. Uromastyx geryi
Graduation lizards! (thanks Marcela!). Incredibly calm animals with unassuming
personalities, very similar to Ornates (Ornates that aren't insane, anyway).

My two Uros. Gaza is the older and larger. He has always been my little boy, but as time has gone on we thing he is a female
and may not be a Mali that he was sold as. He may be an Egyptian. Sahara has a stocky head and is darker leading us to think
that my baby girl is possibly male and a Mali for sure. She is stocker than Gaza ever was.
Gaza on the porch sunning himself with his leash. Hum...now that I am warm I will wander

Saharan Uromastyx (U. geryi)
Names; Kenu and Keyaria
During that picture there was a
male and female in that picture, and Kenu, (the larger one) was about 8-10
inches at the time and and female (smaller one) was about 6-7 inches. They
were both very young, I don't know the exact age I think that keyaria was about
6 months old at the time and Kenu was almost a year.

The one on the left, Spiky, is a female mali-uromastyx and she is a C.B. 3 year old and I have had her since she was a hatchling. She is very shy. Sonny, is the Yellow Nigerian. He is wild caught so I do not know his age, but he is super outgoing. Figure that. :-)
I have had people tell me I should not have them together, but they have been that way for a year now with no ill effects. I understand their concern about possible fights and all and if I ever see anything that resembles a fight, I will split them up, but for now, all is well..

“Yeehaw! My fourth and final clutch of the season is done hatching. I have seven more beautiful hatchlings from my Ornate pair- TankaTo and Mipaya. Mipaya is a rather plain female with hints of blue, and TankaTo is one of my favorite males. I love his deep turquoise color mixed with a dusting of rust across his back. He has matured and colored up so much since this picture was taken last year, but I just didn't have a chance to get a better one this year. Needless to say, I am a little busy with babies! In the midst of these guys hatching, I managed to acquire a beautiful pair of philbyi from Lindsay, and a gorgeous Macfadyeni male to go with my two females. I'm hoping next year proves as successful as this one!”

John P Castellanos philbyi subadult pair.
Two quick shots;
The female is doing great after a 6-8 gram loss but is now close to her arrival weight and is presently 79 grams.
The male lost close to 25 grams and has just now leveled off so I suspect he will be gaining it back soon. He was
106 on arrival and is presently 82 grams.

Uromastyx Hardwickii skull 3D model.
Anyone interested in purchasing a Uromastyx Hardwickii skull 3D model?
A friend of mine has estimates on getting the 3D model made and price goes down the more that are made.
Here is the info;
Uromastyx Hardwickii skull 3D model;
About 3.5 inches on the long dimension. The mesh is currently unsmoothed, so the surface is stair-steps just like the data. I may smooth it by the time we have money.
QTY 1 = $135
QTY 5 = $347
QTY 10 = $572
Plus shipping per item, all at cost. If you get enough interest you can call for extra $ to cover costs or extra copies.
Anyone interested please contact;
