Under no circumstances should any related bearded dragons, ever have the chance to breed with each other. It causes genetic problems just the same as it does with any other species and should never be done.it is whats commonly known as inbreeding and you will produce inbred babies. AGAIN< DO NOT DO THIS

Dragons are inbred enough because of the genetic bottleneck that occured in the US as a result of Australia shutting down exports of new bloodlines. I definitely would not do it intentionally. You would run a high risk of deformities and genetically weak sickly animals.
