Uromastyx are in Agamidae, not Varanidae as is the case with monitors, and these two families are not very closely related. There is, therefore, little reason to believe that something that is the case with monitors (not to say that that is the case with monitors) is also the case with Uromastyx, unless it also appears in other groups that diverged more recently. This does not, however, mean that a group of Uromastyx raised together will not result in a somewhat balanced sex ratio. I personally do not know how sex is determined in Uromastyx, and since they are not closely related to monitors, you may be more able to find an answer to that question by asking in the Uromastyx forum.
