Our first Uromastyx! This little female led us on a merry chase. We caught her using the Thai technique - a simple string snare. It actually took two tries to catch her - the first time she pulled the string, but didn't get caught. Unfortunately, we left a bit too much slack in the line and she ended up about a meter into the burrow. That took a lot of digging, but we eventually got her out. The next couple were a bit easier, though it did take a lot of walking around in the middle of the day in 36C+ heat.
