Is there any way to stimulate breeding?

Have adult dragons, males at least 12 months old, females at least 15 months old (with 18 months or more better. She should also be under 5 years of age as well).

Ensure both are healthy, parasite free and eating well. Both should be housed individually in cages with correct temps, UVB light etc.

If all the above conditions are correct, they should breed without any further incentive.

Some may need a cooling period to help stimulate breeding, having them brumate (hybernate) for 2-4 months then bring the temps back up to normal, can also stimulate them to breed as well. THis isn't always necessary but if no breeding occurs otherwise, you can try this.

Thanks, I am a new owner of a male and female dragon...I bought them from a friend and I dont think she didnt do alot of research on them. The male is clearly dominant and in good shape, color, etc. But the female is now in a different tank because she is not as "filled out" as the male, I plan to keep her that way for a wile. I think that she is intimidated by the male and has'nt acquired the right amount of nutrients. So i want to keep her separated and make sure she is getting everything she needs.
