Hi! I am new to breeding dragons, in fact any animal, and I would like to know some things:
Do i have to wait like nine months from now for a "Mating season?" someone I know has a beardie and claims this but... idk.
Do i need a loose substrate for my girl to lay eggs in? If so, what would you recommend? I know that it has to be something she can burrow into, right?
What is prime breeding age? Right now I have a 2 y/o female and i heard that's about right? But what about males?
Should one be smaller/larger? or does that even matter?
What type of incubator would you recommend? Not looking for a custom one, I want to make sure it works and I don't forget to do something - instructions usually come with these things, right?
Where can I even buy an incubator?
Is it best to keep the two beardies separate and then putting them together to mate? Or leave them together? I know a breeder who just keeps them together, but they have free roam outside of the terrarium.
What should I put the babies in? for my dragons, I use washable terrarium liners. Would keeping the whole litter/cluster/idk in a terrarium altogether with this liner be okay?
Do babies use the same lighting as adults? I just mean the newborns.
Are some incubators made specifically for dragons? If so, do i change the temps myself?
Thanks, and hopefully I get some help!
