There's a "For sale" section here if you just look a little lower on the board. Please keep in mind that the female should be at least 18 months, preferablly even older. Breeding is very hard on them and can significantly shorten their life spans. Think of a year old beardie like a 13 year old girl- Can they have a baby? Probably. Should they? No, if for no other reason than that their bodies really aren't ready, even if they're capable. Breeding really isn't something that should be undertaken lightly. Take a moment to consider- Do you have the resources to feed 25 baby dragons 100 crickets every day for at least 6 weeks? (And that's just one clutch, a female can lay up to 4 fertile clutches from one breeding.) Do you have enough set-ups (or even room for set-ups) to properly house no more than 5 babys per tank? Do you have guarenteed homes for 100 baby beardies? I'm not trying to be mean, just realistic.

Check out the classifieds on http://www.kingsnake.com and/or check with a reputable breeder. Many have hold backs and end up with too many beardies, you just have to be willing to pay the price.
