How can I get them to breed?

[sddragons]

My reds bred so early in the season. I thought I was going to have a good spring but I can't get any of my other females to breed. I have 3 other females that are old enough and big enough to breed and I have put them in with a couple of my different males but nothing. The males are all over them but they just won't let them in.....
Any suggestions? Music, lighting, etc.?

try barry white and a bottle of wine. that always help me with the ladies :mrgreen: give them some time and they should get at it on there own. some females just breed later in the year than others. do u have your beardies together all the time or do you keep them seperated?

Females store sperm so the fact that they only bred once doesn't mean that you will have any less number of babies or that laying eggs will be any easier on her. She could still lay close to 100 eggs just from that one breeding episode.

Yes I am aware of that and she did lay 2 clutches in a row from her mating and that was back in January and February so I hope she is done for the year. I need to let her recuperate because she laid infertile clutches in Oct., Nov., and Dec. also, so I think she might be wore out. I am not going to breed her any more this year but I have 3 others that are ready but just not giving in to the boys.
