Okay,,,,I'm not going to be harsh or disrespectful, but I am sooo seriously tired of seeing this type of question. Lots of people come on who don't even know the basics of beardie husbandry and ask about breeding. FIrst learn to take care of your beardies, then, worry about breeding. There's too many people (even well meaning ones) who don't know what they're doing and the beardies are suffereing. Just a thought...

I have to agree. With such a limited gene pool that we have right now, I really believe it's best left to the professionals who have the time, money, and years of experience raising dragons to do it properly.

And it should be noted that there is pretty much ZERO money in breeding dragons. You spend a whole lot more on raising the babies than you will make selling them. So unless you are just doing it for the love of and betterment of the species, it's not worth it.

If you still plan on going forward with this, you need to get two large, healthy dragons over 2 years of age, and trace their bloodlines back at least 5 generations to make sure they aren't closely related. Almost all dragons in captivity right now are related to some degree, so you have to trace the bloodlines. Also, you should house them individually most of the time, and only introduce them for mating. Otherwise you risk a lot of unneccesary and unhealthy stress on your female.

Good luck in whatever you choose.
