OK, let me clear things up a bit

URO_Sailor Jun 04, 2004 07:15 AM

In my last post I asked a question regarding the possiblities and signs of my Male Yellow Saharan(Thor) and my female Mali(Blue) breeding and what I should be looking for. That was all I wanted to know. Regardless of what anyone says to me on this forum I will NOT separate them because they have been buds since the day I introduced them to each other. Even when my wife or I takes one of them out of the cage and leaves the other one in, their behavior changes until they are back together. They have become very accustomed to being together and I won't change that. So is anyone going to answer my question? What should I look for? How could I tell if it happens?
As far as research goes I am always seeking out new information on my Uros and this is one of the places I do it. I am always trying new things with them to see if they like it or not. So please don't assume that I am an idiot who does not care for thier well being and that I am just playing God with the breeds. Thanks for the advice but please don't judge my intentions.

,try to keep them or something, i don't see any problem with that, they must look nice a cross between a mali and a saharan , i do think that keeping them pure is a must but this isn't wrong either, if they mate and eggs hatch i would like one

Some people will criticize you to the end of the earth for keeping different species together incase you ever end up with hybrids.

Hybrids are apparently threats to the environment...I disagree...I think that if one of our hybrids ever got out of the house it would be dead by nightfall...Canada will do that to reptiles.

Personally I don't breed hybrids but I see there being nothing wrong with it. Since there is so little known about uros, make up your own decision by doing research and reading.

Good luck.

You cannot always tell if a uro is gravid by looking, especially early on. Look for bulges or lumps that weren't there before. Try daily weighings and see if that shows any consistent changes as well.

good job for you on being a concerned lizard parent and wanting to know how to deal with the situation, in case it ever arises. you are concerned for the well being of your animals and that is what matters most!

Would they be like Labradoodles? Saharamalis?

Have fun and let me know how it goes.

First let me say iv never breed uromastyx yet, however i breed many of the rarest lizards species, and on occasion crossed a few. thers no dough in my mind that saharans, mali's, and morocans are so closely related that interbreeding them should not be a problem.
usually a cycling female is easy to spot as her abdominal mass is prety obvious, mating behaviour is also quit noticeable with all kinds of head bobings and body dance, once gravid many females become aggressive towards cage mates, even long term bodies (its a hormone thing), often separation is unavoidable until egg deposition. pre-nesting females usually will dig many test sites, regardles of others personal experiences your observations will provid you with the best guidance for your particular situation.
best of luck.
