Sure! I can tell you what worked for MY uros. I say this because some other people breeding uromastyx may not agree with my process. The uros you start with must be 100% healthy, chubby and eating well before attempting the brumation process. I start this process the last week in October the beginning of November. I turn the lights one to two hours earlier in the evening. continue to gradually decrease the hours of light and heat through out the month. I will also feed them less. By the end of nov/beginning of Dec. I turn off all heat sources and leave them in darkness. their last meal should have been 2 weeks prior.(Their stomache must be completely empty before turning off all heat sources). After about a week I remove them from their enclosure and put them in to seperate dark coloured rubbermaid containers. I leave them for about 80-90 days at temps of 65F. You must check on them a couple per week so if there is any sign of problems or declining health you can reverse the process immediatley. At the end of feb you can begin to reverse the process. put them back in their enclosure. at first I only turn on the undertank heater. then I gradually add light and then the heat lamp for a few hours. after 1-2 weeks they will usually begin basking and eating small amounts. The temp during the 2 weeks will go from 65F -85- 90F. by the end of March The temps will be back to normal with a basking spot of 120F. By this time the male should be actively pursuing the female trying to copulate. When she is ready she will let him. Mine usually bred everyday for about 10 days. 4 weeks later She had eggs. The first year she produced 16 eggs one of which wasn't fertile. The second year she produced 19 eggs, only 13 were fertile. their offspring have always been healthy little buggers with big appetites!
Good luck!
