The only reason that i breed is because i like the doing it. Raising bearded dragons is a fun hobby and have been doing it for many years. I just recently got into the reds and the leatherbacks. I always loved the high reds and would love to make high red babies.
As for the leatherbacks, i have just a little project that i want to do and that is to make silk backs. As soon as i saw them i said that i want one, and there isn't very many out there and they are also expensive.
Bearded dragons are just cool pets and i want to make some cool stuff while i have them.
And yes i know that they are expensive, i have raised at least 10 cluches of eggs. But i have yet to raise some higher end beardies so i am very excited.
O and i never said that i was a breeder in any of the replys that i wrote, i just refered you to the breeders on the internet. Most of them are very nice, i have dealed with some of them and they are very friendly.
