Uromastyx.org

A few weeks ago I purchased two baby egyptian uromastyx. I currently have them in a 20 long with a basking temp of 110f, hot side of around 95f and cool side of 85f. They spend most of their time in the cool side hide. Is this something to be concerned about. I have been turning off all lights at night allowing the temperature to drop to 65f. I plan on increasing the size of the enclosure soon.

Thanks

You absolutely need to get them in a larger enclosure--the sooner the better. On to more immediate issues, how are you measuring your temps? Also, nighttime temps should never drop below 65f and ideally should hover in the low to mid 70's. You can accomplish this by either raising the room's ambient temp or by adding a 60 or 100 watt ceramic heat emmitter. How active are they during the day? Have you adjusted their diet?

Pretty much refer to the information and questions posed in your last thread on this topic.

what size enclosure would you recommend. The Uromastyx are about 4 inches

If you recall from the last thread your uros can reach up to 3ft in length once they become adults--you have two very large lizards on your hands. Most people recommend no smaller than a 40 gallon breeder for hatchlings and individuals up to around 7". That said, the larger the enclosure from the get go the better. Your lizards will require an enclosure no smaller than 6x3x2 (WxDxH) EACH and ideally they should have something larger (8x4x2). This species of uromastyx requires a lot of space. As I said in the last thread you may likely need to separate them in the near future--even immature uromastyx can become territorial, preventing cage-mates from eating and or basking or, in more severe cases, can kill each other. This is not uncommon. I'm not saying you should separate them immediately (although many would) but I am saying you should have a backup in case you need to in a pinch.

Can you provide me with more information? I'd like to help you and your uros out but based on the information you provided thus far I can't...
