Hi!
I'm expecting my female Uromastyx acanthinura to lay her eggs next week. I would like to know what temperature i should hatch them in and how long it usully takes till they have hatched?

Kind regards

Kenny from Sweden

Incubate them at 88-90 F.Usually takes 90 days.--Good Luck.

Thanx!
Do you know anything about what humidity i should have in the incubator?

Kind regards

The acanthinurus you have should be same as my maliensis but I'm not positive.Humidity should be in the 80 - 90 percent.

Hi Kenny,

I do breed U. acanthinura nigriventris.
To my experiences temps between 29 and 34 °C are fine.
The eggs do not stand any direct contact with water or moist substrate.
They MUST lie in completely dry substrate.
A Water bowl or a bowl with moist substrete in the incubator should however keep relative air humitity up in the region of 70% and more.

Hope that helps

Ingo,

I am curious, have you experienced greater success toward the higher or lower end of this temperature range?

Hi, I do not see big differences so far.
Uros hatched out at higher temps seem to have a better appetite and start earlier feeding, but those from the lower end are slightly bigger.
No significant differences though.
