Great job Ed! I have had the same aggression problems with acanthinurus just a couple days out of the eggs. I believe Debb has too with the Ebonies. I had to seperate the acanths into one in a cage. They have to be seperated too becuase they will kill each other. Egyptians seem to be almost cannibalisitic. I have had the babies take other lizards apart limb by limb. I had purchased some hatchling Egyptians and hatched out some desert iguanas hatch at the same time and had limited cage space so I put them together. Bad idea! After the killed and ate the di's they started on themselves. Some people I know make alsmost like a snake rack type thing for the babies. Off course it has to be lighted unlike a snake rack.

I do tend to agree with Greg about the incubation protocal of most lizards. I really do not think parameters are that critical but when talking to most uros breeders that might not be the case with uromastyx. It seems they need pretty tight parameters.

I see you uros bred out on the floor of a room. I did not know if you knew this but that was an old trick wiith beardeds and frilleds and I am not sure why it works but if you take a seamingly uninterested pair and take them out of their cage and put them on the floor in a room it triggers something and they almost breed immediately. Good luck and again great job.
