I HAVE A NICE RED MALE DRAGON HE'S 2 YEARS OLD I BREED HIM LAST YEAR AND I HAVE A 2 1/2 YEAR ORANGE FEMALE THAT IM TRYING TO BREED BUT THE MALE IS NOT DOING HES JOB ANY HELP. WHAT CAN I DO SO HE CAN BREED WITH MY FEMALE?

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

From my experiences it is the female that chooses when to breed. When she is ready for breeding, she'll let him connect with her. Otherwise, the male would attempt all the time and my females will try to get away from him.

maybe if you give us a more detailed explaination of what is going on we can help better. For example, is the female trying to mate by crawling under the male? is your male's beard turning black and does he show interest in her?

sometimes it helps to breed the dragons outside of the cage in a large carpeted room. so that way they can circle each other and do the whole ritual.

another tick i know is that if you have two males, put them near each other (key word is near, don't put them together...they'll fight) and it will "turbo charge" them. then put them with a female and most likely they'll breed.

hope this helps some...
