I believe Kevin Dunne of www.dragonsdenherp.com has all three of what you just mentioned right now. Give him a call or shoot him an email and ask about what he has in stock. Let him know you plan on breeding so he can offer dragons that aren't related.

FYI, since you want a breeding pair, be aware that it isn't a very good idea to keep them in the same enclosure 24/7. That's a common mistake made by keepers, and it can do more harm than good. It's best to keep them seperated and introduce them during breeding season only.

No problem at all. Thanks to YOU for being the kind of person who researches before jumping into things.

I guess I'm just so used to people coming to this forum who have already bought their lizards but know so little about basic husbandry. I need to work on keeping the lecture hat put away until absolutely necessary.

someone at the reptilerooms.com forum was asking about you because you are in their area and they are looking for a good breeder. I gave you a glowing review.

I try to make the rounds to other forums and help out when I can. KS by far has the most traffic. I guess I will have to pop in over at RR more often.

I spoke with Cheri recently and she has been gathering such wonderful info lately, I hope she can find some "spare time" to post it.

Yeah, this place definately has a lot more traffic. I guess that's why it's also a bit frustrating for me, I can't keep up. I can also understand why Cheri ins't here much anymore, it's hard to keep your personal feelings bottled up, and things can get ugly here so quickly. Patience is one of your great qualities here, it's not so easy for me sometimes.

Still, this place has so much to offer for someone like me who is still learning.

Personally, helping others helps keep me grounded. Sometimes I lose sight of things, not seeing the forest for the trees.
It’s always good to get back to basics to gain perspective. I think it helps me to learn and be more open to new ideas.

Hope that makes sense..

Not really. So I guess I have to ask here...

Do you sell babies or just adults?

I have a clutch of baby Florida Oranges that will be 6 weeks old on monday so they are available for sale as well as a few yearlings from last season.
If you have any questions about a purchase, feel free to contact me off list.

Hey, just wanted to clarify something. Your origional post said

and then useing the 55 to house the babies in when i get some.

I just wanted to point out that if you mean you want to breed your dragons and use the 55 gallon to house their babies then you are greatly underestimating the space and requirements of hatchling bearded dragons. A 55 gallon is way to big to keep hatchlings under about 3 months old in. You don't want to keep a lot of hatchlings together in one tank. You will need LOTS of tubs, about FIVE tubs per clutch (average clutch of 20 hatchlings). You will need to have a whole empty room in your house to breed dragons.

You see, from one breeding your female could lay up to 200 eggs (I got 175 from my girl this season) Once you let her breed you have no more control over how many eggs she lays or how often. My female laid her eggs every other week like clockwork! That is WAY closer together then I would have liked, but its not about what works best for me. I have had clutches hatching every two weeks. My first babies just got through that second shed (I don't believe that it is ethical to sell them before the second shed) and I have 75 baby dragons (50 are still to young to sell). Anyway, the point of all that is a 55 gallon tank will do you no good for raising hatchlings! You might be able to use it for your holdbacks... I have 15 tubs housing my babies right now, and then I have 5 tubs with various sized crickets, I have my silkwoms on a rack that holds deep cookie sheets, and then I have the roach coloney. Then there are my adults on the other wall...I can hardly fit in one room, I actually keep the feeders in the computer room usually! I like lots of floor space to take the pictures with and weight everyone.

But the suggestion of keeping your hatchlings in a 55 gal tank was such an understatement that I just had to comment. Good Luck!

And sorry Bennet if this pic is reminscent of your line...but I was feedig crickets and she was right there!!!

i had no idea that they could lay up to 200 eggs per season.. good thing i am researcging before i buy them and try to breed them...lol

what do you do with the babies? i know you sell them but who do you sell them to? because i have heard that it is hard to find a place that will ship reptiles..

I sell each one individually over the internet. It takes a ton of time to answer e-mails and talk to people. I would never sell to a pet store, if I had to do that I wouldn't breed them. How many times have you seen dead hatchlings in the pet stores? I would never trust them with my babies. But I place ads and have a website. You can click on my banner at the bottom of the post to see it.
