Quick sourced reference values. LOCUS Scales' full breeding/genetics toolset is built specifically for ball pythons — this page is a courtesy reference for other species.
Diet: Strictly herbivorous — dark leafy greens, rotating legumes/seeds.
Feeding frequency: Juvenile: greens daily. Adult: greens every 2 days, legumes/seeds always available.
Substrate: Sand or sand/soil mix, deep — the genus's biggest burrower needs the most digging surface.
UVB: Essential, strong desert-type UVB.
Incubation: Oviparous species. ~58-92 days depending on incubation temperature.
Clutches per mating: Generally 1 clutch per successful mating per season.
Average egg count: Up to ~20 eggs or more from a large, well-established female.
The largest uromastyx species (24-30in) and the most humidity-sensitive in the whole genus — aim for only 10-30%, notably drier than the other uromastyx on this list. Needs the largest enclosure, worth planning for before purchase given its imposing adult size.
