I know your supposed to wait till bearded dragons are 18 months old to breed but I have a 4 year old female bearded dragon that I wanna breed with a 8 month old bearded dragon male. When they see each other threw the glass he bobs his head like crazy and puffs his beard and turns it black and she just bows. I'm sure she wants to mate so can I do an early breeding or no?

8 months is young for a male.
He might get the job done, but IF he can the clutch can be small and He can injure himself to the point He will never breed again.
I wont even consider a male less than a year old.
Now on to your other problem. 4 is kind of middle aged for a female. Again it can be done, but if her heath is off even a bit, you may kill her.
Her body may not rebound well from the beating it takes from egg production and laying.
Now if your hell bent on breeding. The way I would approach it would be to get a female about a year old and feed and baby her for about 6 to 8 months.
When she is ready your male will be moreeeeeeeeee than ready.

The thing is the female is a sandfire and the male is blood red so I want to breed them I know a breeder that bred his dragon at any age she was fine and that's the mother of my sanfire as long as she's healthy I will still be breeding her and u said the clutch would be small like size of eggs wise or niumber of eggs?

Sandfire Dragon ranch isnt even close to being out of business.
They still produce some of the nicest dragons I have ever seen.
He was just at the national breeders expo in daytona back in august.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
