I was just wondering how long of a time frame it is from the time of copulation till the female Mali Uromastyx in question should lay her eggs. I was also wondering if there are any tips on preventing a female Mali from getting egg-bound. Additionally, are there any tips on facilitating the egg laying process so it goes smoother for the females?

Thanks!

Well if Malis are the same with this as my Saharan was it should be a month or so......you'll notice her getting really fat lol....then when it looks like she's having trouble even walking or anything cuz her belly is dragging....you'll end up with eggs lol
Just make sure you already have a nest box in the cage with her so she can be used to it.
If you want any info on the nest box or how to deal with the eggs or anything read the caresheet at deerfernfarms
anyways hope i was at least a small bit of help....the clutch i have incubating right now is my first time breeding so i might not have as much knowledge as some of the others around here.
