Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Morphs and color phases
How many morphs or color phases are there for Uro's? Come to think of it, are they actual morphs, or just phases?

Actually they are different species except for the geyri. Geyri come in 3 different colors (yellow, red and orange).

Do you mean species, or subspecies? Can a Mali and a Geyri produce viable offspring?

The genus Uromastyx
The genus is uromastyx. There are approximately 16 species and some subspecies as follows:
U. acanthinura acanthinura
U. acanthinura nigriventris
U. dispar dispar (rare in US)
U. dispar maliensis
U. dispar flavifasciata (rare in US)
U. geryi
U. alfredschmidti (non in US)
U. aegyptia aegyptia
U. aegyptia microlepis
U. leptieni (non in US)
U. occidentalis (not known in captivity)
U. asmussi (non in US)
U. hardwickii
U. loricata (non in US)
U. ornata ornata
U. ornata phylibyi (not known in captivity)
U. ocellata
U. macfadyeni
U. benti (rainbow or mountain)
U. benti (lowland or orange)
U. princeps (not known in captivity)
U. thomasi (non in US)<---- would give my eye teeth to have a pair of these.
While most of these species are limited by color, some do have variations. Geryi come in 3 different colors; red, orange and yellow. Acanthinura comes in different colors as well; red, orange, yellow and green as well as a mixture.
Husbandry issues have plagued uromastyx breeders for the last 2 decades. We are just now beginning to see limited success with breeding of single species, few have tried interspecies breeding. While I am sure it can be done with the more closely related species, I myself wouldn't try.
