Hello, I have a male and female bearded dragon, bolth about 2-3 years of age, the female is lazy the male is not, and I have them in the same cage it's about 50" long 20" high and 20" wide, is that good for breeding beardies? Also would a mix of moist sand, dirt and perlite a good choice for egg laying material, and one more lol, they just aren't breeding no matting behavior, i've been trying to get them to breed for about 3-4 months now, and nothing, the male use to head bob and then go and bite her neck, and just get off, like 10 times, and nothing ever happened, and now he doesn't do any mattin signals, it sucks, I want babies and not for the money or nothing, I try, but I might have to bring the heat up. Also would seperating the dragons for about a week or two, do anything? But I might be borrowing my friends male, I don't really want to do this because he wants half of the babies, I was going to use his male and put him in a cage next to my breeding cage, to get him fired up, then switch the 2 males ever other week or so to make sure of high fertility. I need your ideas so if you could please get back to me thank you.
It sounds like you didn't do your homework about breeding dragons before you got them. You said in the beginning that you "want babies and not for the money or nothing." Then you said "I might be borrowing my friends male, I don't really want to do this because he wants half of the babies" sounds like you don't really know what you are talking about. If you are not prepared to pay for thousands of crickets per week, I wouldn't suggest breeding you dragons. Last season, I had 7 babies that ate 1,000 crix a week. Do more research.
