I managed to find the other six. Wow, she buried them good! It looks like she might have laid them in the afternoon as she was burying the rest when I got home at 4:00 pm. She wolfed down a few greens before heading to bed.
Some of the eggs feel harder than the others. Do harder eggs mean viability? If so, I'll have to shake Ra's hand.
Regardless, I'm off to the store tomorrow to buy Isis some waxworms and peas to fatten her up again. What a trooper she is! First, cramped quarters in a pet store, egg-bound, a 45-minute operation to remove them, healing time, a new young mate, constant mating attempts by her new mate, and now, a clutch of 8 eggs! I'm so proud of her.

oh that is so awesome. i am happy for you. if they feel like little water balloons then they probably aren't good. if you can see a nice pink spot on the eggs, then they are good. i always put eggs in the incubator and if they are bad, let them deflate in there. i could not live with the what ifs

Great information. Unless the egg is a hard, shriveled up ball, incubate everything. The eggs are usually soft when first laid and then firm up. If they go bad once in the incubator, then you can dump them. If they dent a little just add a small amount of water that is about the same temp as you are incubating and they will pop back out. Best of luck to you!

Wow, she really looks different than the other pictures! I hope that they are viable, and if so, I hope that the incubation process goes well for you and you end up with little baby mali uromastyx.

If there was one species of lizard I was going to choose to breed, it would be mali uromastyx, because the market for those is flooded with imports in relatively bad condition.

Good luck.
