Hello
I have an adult pair of Aussie Dragons and need info on the breeding process. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
Robert

The most important factor with breeding Aussies is winter coolin period. Once they have been properly cycled,(temps can go down to mid/upper 30's, but at least below 65) just let them do their thing.

Thanks for the reply. However, how long do I need to cycle them for? In order to get the temps that low, how do you get the temps that low. I live in sunny southern California.

Email Bert Langerwerf at Agama International. I don't know what his email is exactly, but if you go to www.agamainternational.com, his email address will be there.

Two-three months is long enough. I live in PA so in past years I've put them in 50gal plastic containers (with soil of coarse) and left the on the floor of the back room in my house. This room is always cooler because it is an addition, and has many windows/sliding doors. I honestly don't know what to do if you live in a warmer area. Man, that's tough problem

I think it was Bartlett who suggested the use of a refrigerator with a thermometer in it. A fridge with the hottest setting might work, but to me it seems a bit humane. You could try a very high wattage A/C Unit in a closet or small space of some sort. Small area cooled by a air conditioner. That's another suggestion. I think you can get a decent unit brand new for about $100 US. Ebay or classified in your local newspaper might have something.

Hey Paul
Thanks for the reply. When you leave them in the container, are they covered or is the container w/o the lid. Also, do you feed them at all, provide water, light? Just wondering...
