Perfect, then I'll try it with the current bedding I have and see if I can switch to vermiculite tomorrow! I absolutely do want to raise them! Honestly if I had the time, money and space, I'd probably keep them all myself. I am just a little worried that it will be impossible to sell them and I...

That is also a sand/clay mix (Lucky Reptile Desert Bedding). Is there anything to make it less stiff (like mixing in more sand or soil)? I'd rather not mention my country, but it is middle/eastern europe. I think there are mainly 3 breeders that sell rankin's dragons, although two of them are...

Could I also use sand-clay mix instead of vermiculite? I know it is not perfect but the vermiculite arrives next week together with the incubator. I already checked the few pet stores I have near me, they do not offer these things. I will call another pet store a bit further away tomorrow to see...

I don't know what else to do. I didn't expect her to get gravid so soon, so I didn't have an incubator yet. I ordered one as soon as I realized she has eggs but it will arrive next week. And I don't think they would survive in the enclosure as the weather here is crazy right now (almost 40°C...

coco laid 11 eggs today!!🥰 as far as I can tell, most if not all are fertile, which makes it way harder for me to discard them. I feel like a monster destroying what she worked so hard for. I bathed her, as she was completely covered in substrate and gave her some insects which she hungrily...

Thank you! I will do that and wait :) I didn't lift the box (although I would have liked to check in on her sometimes) as I didn't want to scare her and stress her unnecessarily.

I added more substrate and made sure that the substrate below is also moist. She sometimes digs in the box but also at other places in the tank. It kinda seems as if she is not happy about the spots where she can dig. Might there something be wrong with the substrate/humidity/temperature/etc...

Coco ate the insects yesterday, although not with the usual enthusiasm. Yesterday morning she still dut everywhere in the tank and seemed quite restless. But since yesterday afternoon she stopped digging and only rests. I am still unsure if she should lay the eggs soon, as according to the vet...

I already offered her water yesterday and she drank a little (which she usually never does, only my other two dragons). She also didn‘t eat any vegetables yesterday, as far as I can tell. Today they get insects, I will still offer them to her and see if she wants to eat them. I also have a...

Hi, I thought of you the whole time and wanted to update way sooner but I was away for a long weekend with really terrible internet connection. My roommate took care of my dragons and especially kept an eye out for Coco (and regularly updated me) and I tried to check in with the cameras as often...

Interesting, I did not know that! I know how infertile vs fertile eggs can look like but had no idea that the infertile ones are generally smaller! In that case my male dragon might have finally gotten the hang out of mating!

Currently only one male and one female dragon live in this enclosure! I had to separate the other female dragon because of some underlying health problems. I know that bearded dragons cannot be houses together but as far as I know rankins can live together in small groups. I am in close contact...

Yeah she really looks like she‘s heavily pregnant! It is so cute when she is pancakeing as the pancake is even bigger than before! Thank you so much, I am currently looking for a cardboard box and will do this right now! Just one more question to be sure I understood you correctly, would you...

I‘ll look for a cardboard box tomorrow! How careful do I need to be with the placement of it? I assume it should be on the warmer side or would this be a fire hazard with the heat lamp (I wouldn‘t place it directly under the lamp)? Sorry, usually I would just try it out and keep an eye on it the...

Yes I thought so too. But compared to x rays of gravid bearded/rankins dragons on google, the round shapes here don‘t look as prominent as on the google pictures, so I am not sure if it really is eggs or maybe just the beginning of the pregnancy? But the vet also didn‘t seem to comfortable...

Hi there! I actually have a rankins dragon and not a bearded dragon but I would be thankful for any help I can get! My dragon (recently turned 1) started exhibiting some signs of pregnancy. She always was a bit larger than my other two rankins dragons, despite the same age, activity and food...

I took the hides out for a few weeks so she gets more light but as soon as I put them in she hid again and nothing changed. I don‘t know if I should continue this or if I am making things more stressful for her. I was actually worried about the opposite. She can see me moving but maybe that...

Yes this might be. But she is smaller than my other dragons, despite being the same age. So I am worried about putting them together. Additionally, I don‘t want to stress her out more in case this is not the problem. Same for the hides, I did this a few weeks so she gets more light but as soon...
