Ok I have a pair of dragons and I would like to breed them but I don't know what I'll do with all the babies. I would like to keep two or three for myself and I have a friend that wants one or two but after that I'm clueless. Please let me know what I can do. I'm not in it to make a bunch of money. So let me know. Thanks for your help

I recommend adopting! My dragons had 175 babies from spending 15 minutes together one time. I order 5000 crickets twice a week, I also have a huge roach coloney and raise silkworms. All of this is necessary to support the babies from just this one breeding while I sale them. The offspring from this one breeding occupy the entire master bedroom of my house in thier racks. I have several window unit air conditioners just to keep the room cool from all the heat lights.

Brandon, from dragons by nature, made a wonderful site about breeding. Check it out!

What I always encourage people who want to breed dragons to do is take a month to imagine what life is like with baby dragons. They must eat every day right on time. Every day from 8AM-10pm imagine that you have babies and you can not ever leave your house for more then 5 hours. Imagine that you can never take a weekend off to visit family. Imagine that you can never even spend a day at the lake. You have to be there to feed babies everyday without exception. Also keep in mind that I spend hours of time just caring for my feeder insects, and I spend several hours a day changing out the mats in my babies bins and scrubing poop off.

Not that I don't love it....but just wanted to you think about it!
