    Incubator cooler style...

    If you can afford the hova Bator by all means do so. It is better to be prepared than not. I am a pretty good at doing these type of things so it was no problem for me. I can actually rigg it up and have it handy in a matter of minutes. You will almost spend the same amount of money doing so...

    Incubator cooler style...

    My first incubator was a cooler. Dont have any pictures as this was before I knew about this site and the internet. If you decide to build your own I would suggest using a fully submersible heater like the one in the link I am posting for you. Reason being is that it has adjustable degree...

    Virgin Male

    I was wondering if anyone had any tips about first time introductions. My first breeding was done by accident due to common mis knowledge of the local pet store. They pretty much did everything themselves. I am now attempting to do things the right way and just need some input on putting them...

    Head is bobbin but no biting?

    I have the same problem with a male i picked up. First he was with all the normal male antics, Bobbing,arm stamping, black bearding. Now he wants to do nothing but normal dragon stuff. " He is appropriate breeding age and size, and so is the female. I tried other females and even reintroducing...

    Making the switch from Roaches to anything else??

    No one that I have talked to will ship here. I was told the climate was to similar to that of which they come from and that they could be an invasive species. But maybe I need to do some more digging around.

    Making the switch from Roaches to anything else??

    I recently aquired some sub adults from other breeders and they were fed predominately roaches as a staple, Well as fl law has it the aquisition of live roaches is illegal here.Which leaves me stuck with crickets, supers, and goliath worms as treats. Has anyone ever had any experience with this...

    breed hypotranslucent x hypotranslucent leatherback

    My reason for being so critical is I have a friend who admiresmy animals. "breeding is easy anyone can do it." he says. I rant and rave stating my arguments and so on. Already having a male dragon, he purchases what is "supposed to be" a female dragon. Fast forward to present time. He calls me...

    quick question

    When I first started I went against everyones advice on keeping males and females together. My male who was smaller than my female quickly surpassed my female and outgrew her by several inches. She stopped eating when he was around and just quit being herself. Finally I decided to separate them...

    When do most beardies mate?

    I would advise reading deeper into this breeding column, and doing a little more research. It's easy to put animals together and let themdo their thing, but you got to be able to take care of the little one that hatch. Electric bill, feeders, and separate housing for the littles one also. I am...
