You guys have managed to grow uros to adult size about 4 times as fast as they usually would, yet it takes about 3 times longer for them to hatch out than they would if incubated. Funny how that works out.
Great job Robyn! By the way, I've got soil in the enclosures of almost all of my reptiles now (the bearded dragon, the mali uro...whom I'm sure you remember, and the baby russian tortoise which I just recieved today). The only one I don't have on soil right now is my leopard gecko, because he really gets into it when feeding time rolls around, and I'm hesitant to put him on soil just yet. Even so, when I do, the soil will mostly be covered with rocks anyways (since leos come from a rocky area). But all of the reptiles have been doing great. The fat, burned, rescued uro that I was sure wouldn't live a year is going on her second year in my care this december, and she's thriving. My bearded dragon has never really thrived. I think dryness and high temperatures as well as a bad diet and lots of parasites have done some damage on him I didn't realize when I got him how much I was doing wrong 
Just wanted to update you on everything. I remember last time I saw you around the forums, we used to just argue all the time, mostly because I was unwilling to accept the fact that your theories were right.
