    Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and I thought my first post would be a few photos of the Banded Uromastyx I managed to incubate to full term this season. 13 out of the 13 eggs hatched!

    Hi Uromystic,
    Welcome to the forums.
    I have heard from various people how hard it is to incubate uro's.
    Congratulations on the 100% hatch, you must be well pleased.
    Just curious, how long did they take ?
    They look very nice, thanks for sharing.

    Thanks everyone.
    Yes, incubating Uromastyx eggs is not an easy thing. The biggest problem is the humidity level. Too little and the eggs quickly begin to collapse. However if you increase it too much, mold begins to form on them. You must also be careful no water from condensation falls on the eggs. It's tricky.
