NEEDS REPLYS!!!! 2 QUESTIONS!!!!

[BabyAngel0123]

Ok, so I think our Female Dragon is Pregnant, Which is fine, its a good thing for use because we want to breed again. im not 100% sure shes pregnant, but shes digging like CRAZY and she is getting a bit fat. im also not 100% sure that the eggs are fertal (if she is even pregnant). My question is, if she is pregnant, can i mate her with my male so the eggs can get fertal? Like if she has eggs in her RIGHT NOW, and lets say there NOT fertal, can i mate her befor she lays, and will the eggs be fertal?
and my 2nd question is kinda silly, but, can dragons Obulate?
thanks[:

If she has already formed eggs then breeding her to your male wont accomplish anything. She has to be fertile prior to producing the actual eggs. Now a week or two after she drops the infertile clutch (and has put weight back on) you can breed her and she should start forming a new clutch of fertile eggs.

and im sorry but i have no idea what the word obulate means

Did you mean ovulate?

 

[spyder79]

duh ill bet thats what the words supposed to be. I shoulda looked at the keyboard (since v and b are beside each other)
Im not sure if females can ovulate in the sense that mammals do. But they can run a full cycle on infertile eggs.

:lol: I don't think I could deal with a beardie with PMS. Imagine :shock:

 

[spyder79]

While i have never noted a female dragon get moody at any particular time of the month (lmao at beardie pms comment) but they do periodically cycle egg follicles and can produce infertile clutches which by definition is ovulation of sorts.

 

[zizzee]

Yeah, I'll agree with you on the cycle thing.....

I just can't get the image of a beardie with PMS out my head "WANT CRICKETS!! *puff puff*" :lol: I'm going off topic a tad.

I've been told (by an experienced breeder) that breeding a female while she's gravid with infertiles can cause a lot of damage and even be fatal.

like i said breeding the female that is already gravid with infertiles will not accomplish anything lol. but thanks for saying it a different way.

Not just that it won't accomplish anything, that it can actually be dangerous. Bit of a difference.
