You should be giving her calcium with the crickets/greens because she lost a lot of that calcium when she layed the eggs. Once again, you need to seperate your 2 dragons because the male will continue mating with the female and that is going to seriously hurt your female! You should feed her some silkworms, waxworms, and crickets to fatten her up. You need to get an incubator as soon as possible! The eggs should NOT be kept in the cage, they should be properly heated and should NOT be turned! That will drown the baby, it theres a baby inside. Lets hope that they were not siblings because the babies will be messed up! That is not good! I dont know if they are siblings because just because they were in the same cage, they could be from totally different parents. Ok, you NEED to seperate them as soon as possible! Obviously they are male and female and should not be kept together other than short periods for breeding. She looked better after she ate and is basking in her light.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. She looks thin, I fed her after the eggs were laid and she ate about 20 large crickets. They are all very soft to the touch.ĭo I need to separate them so that she does not get pregnant again? I do not want her to suffer. The 2 biggest eggs are the ones that do not seem to be yellow when held to the light. I keep them in the living room so we can monitor them closely, but my first concern is too have healthy dragons.Ĭan you give me some tips and what should I do with the eggs? Some are small and some are bigger.

I would love to raise hatchlings but I know she is too young and I do not want to separate the 2 dragons because they seem to love each other. I know now the local pet store does not know what they are talking about because my dragons were obviously mating and I think out of the 14 eggs, 2 of them are not yellow and look like there could be pink lines in the eggs. My husband removed the eggs and we were going to attempt to make an incubator for the eggs and the local pet store told us to put the eggs back in the cage and turn them often. I have watched them carefully and really felt like they were mating and sure enough, the little one laid 14 eggs, right in the cage. The pet shop said they were to young to be mating and if I thought they were showing too much aggression to separate them. I asked the pet shop if they thought that they were breeding or just showing who was the boss of the cage. I was still not sure if I had a male or female. Last month the bigger one started showing the head bobbing and his neck got big and black. I am assuming my dragons were born in early January and they are approximately 7 months, maybe 8 months, less than a year. I have went online and again, there is alot of different opinons. I have read books and every book offers different information. One was bigger than the other, and they were probably from the same family because they were from a pet shop and they were in the same cage. They were hatchlings and were quite small. I actually purchased them in the begininng of February of 2005. I am a relatively new owner of 2 bearded dragons. Let me know if you would like me to add any other terms although this does not apply to beardies, i believe it is an interesting term and one that may be useful to knowĭORSALLY DEPRESSED: Flattened from the top PARTHENOGENETIC: able to reproduce without the fertilisation by a male, particularly some geckos that produce female clones. VENTRAL: The lower surfaces, or the scales on the bellyĬOPULATION: the reptile equvilant of mating the same gene for the same trait from both the mother and father Where the animal has the same genes for a trait. Slug: Some times people will use this term for infertile eggs It is seen as a marker of where the body ends and the tail begins. Vent: The cloaca of an animal this is the opening. Gravid: This is when females are carrying Fertile eggs Go to Were they have what I think to be the best looking hypos out there Look at this picture (the one on the top is the hypo)īrumation: It is like a semi hibernation where the dragons slow down and dont eat as much.Ĭlutch: A group of eggs that is laid at the same time by the same female. This term means lacking the black pigment in there skin. The second term is HYPOMELANISTIC (often called Hypo for short) this term is used allot with bearded dragons. The one with the gray color is a Het for red and when bred it carries the red gene and is capable of producing red offspring.

Say two red bearded dragons have a clutch of all red offspring but one of them is the normal gray color. I will start with the word HETEROZYGOUS(often Het for short) I am posting this up because when I first got started with bearded dragons I did not know what what allot of the terms ment.
