    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Uromastyx Eggs.. infertile *pretty sure*

I got impatient waiting for a Uro person to see this thread.. So I e-mailed the man himself, Douglas Dix.
here was his reply:
" They should have a medium sized round red dot on one side if fertile. Still, if they don't stink - incubate them. "
Does anyone ELSE see that reddish dot on the top????

I did ... hence my first post. And now my question answered. Excellent, Brandi!
 
Very cool Brandi! corn eggs usually take some time before they show veins as well. But the best way to tell, that I've found is overall egg color when candled, slugs usually have a yellow glow while fertile egss have a much pinker almost reddish glow...
Pics of Momma?
 
ok

Here are the parents.

Isis and Goliath

um.. I am kinda starting to freak out..

they are starting to dent.. I am currently looking for info online, but it is few and far between, so I MAY Have to email Douglas Dix again.

I know usually denting is cuz of a lack of humidity.. so I added some water into the dub (between the eggs, not on them) but I also know they mold easily.

so I will search a bit more, then email him if I find nothing..

and of course will post what I learn, in here
 
I have read that using athletes foot powder on the mold if the eggs are good will kill mold....?:shrug01:

oh yeah, I contacted him about 7 years ago when I rescued my first uro, and again a few days ago to ask about the fertility of these.

He is a great guy, very helpful and patient!

Every Day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new day of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wonder
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with YOU!!!!

Ohhh, I love you more today than yesterday....

Now just you try and get that song out of your head girl. Hahahaha. I've been humming it around the house for hours this morning.
 
Congrats! Finding eggs is exciting no matter what the animal is. My Mali laid 9 huevos a couple of days ago. This is a first time for me (I'm more of a tarantula guy) so, I've been researching online quite a bit. One well known breeder suggests keeping the eggs at 93 degrees, plus or minus 2 degrees variance. Does anyone knows where the humidity should be kept for these little pearls? Currently, I'm keeping them at 90-95%. Hope this is sufficient!
Thx!:confused::confused::confused:
