Im also thinking about breeding as well, it seems around this time a few people are. It'll most likely be more than a year from what ive researched. Males can mate at around 18 months i believe with females better off at 24 months, however that is just what ive found. Maybe a more experienced person on that could offer more advise for the right age.
Thats gonna be a lot of 20 gallons for tons of babies so possibly get a rack and some bins, I dont exactly know what a good sized bin would be, but i believe most people use 100 L totes to raise them in, or 106 QT tub. It would most likely be cheaper to go with the bins/totes rather than the tanks, also more light weight.

If you do really plan to breed i'd setup a few colonies of crickets and dubias beforehand so you have enough food ahead of time, after all if my math is right one single 1-4 month old bearded eats around 1,260 bugs a month. So if one female beardie can lay up to 6 clutches of eggs from one single breeding, 15-30 or so eggs each clutch thats gonna be a lot of bugs needed.
I'd also make sure that you can keep leftover babies in case they dont all get sold.
For incubators I'm currently using this one,

However again a more experienced person could help out with that as i dont know how good it would be for eggs yet.
These are our beardies, her male is slightly younger, but they are both very healthy and chubby :lol: . The one on top is Skywalker and the one at the bottom is Maz Kanata (first name is BB-8 but when we realized she's a girl, we moved to her middle and last name, and we just call her Maz.) We would buy a incubator, any recommendations for incubators? and then buy maybe a 20 gallon terrarium or at the next dollar per gal sale at petco we could buy one. Should we breed them? I have done lots of research already and have been saving my money for everything, should I breed/mate them?
