Generally, males are sexually mature by the time they are 12 inches in length and females can be bred when they are 10 inches long. Other opinions is that a mature male of breeding age to be 2-5 years old

It has been reported that breeding the Mail Uromastyx in captivity is relatively difficult. Hobbyists have reported that brumation, a sort of reptile hibernation, is needed in order to increase the chance of successful breeding. After brumation breeding will usually occur in the spring (between March and May). The female will begin depositing her eggs approximately one month after breeding. Incubation will last 85 to 95 days.
