Two Uromastyx attained Feb. 23, 2002: Alice and (Mr.) Moto. It was said at the time they were attained that Alice may already be pregnant. This must not have been so though she seemed sorta chunky. Breeding behavior between Alice and Moto was witnessed the last week of March and first week of April, 2002. By mid-May Alice was obviously carrying eggs. On May 19, 2002, Moto was removed to a second enclosure. A bin of vermiculite was put into the pen where Alice remained. She investigated the space and did some rearranging of the vermiculite over the next four days. Thirteen eggs were laid in the corners and buried on May 23, 2002, removed to a smaller container and placed in an incubator approx. 5 hrs. later. The incubator maintains a steady temperature of about 90° and a high humidity level.
