Things You'll Need:
- Two Bearded Dragons
- Two cages about 40 gallons
- deep sand and hiding box
- Any form of incubator
-
Step 1
bearded dragon cageThe first step in breeding two bearded dragons is to have a suitable cage for each lizard. A suitable cage consists of a warm environment, a basking area, a water dish, and an adequate substrate (preferably deep sand).
-
Step 2
Now you will need to introduce your breeding pair. While doing so, ensure that the male does not get too aggressive. You should introduce them as soon as the male begins to bob his head up and down. They will eventually begin to mate.
-
Step 3
Once your lizards have mated, place the female back into her cage alone. She will carry the eggs for about a month before she begins to dig (make sure the sand is about 8-10 inches deep). Once she lays the egg, dig up the eggs CAREFULLY and place them in your incubator at about 82 degrees.

Step 4
Hatching bearded dragonAfter approximately 65-75 days your eggs should be ready to hatch, so watch them carefully. After they hatch, place them in two groups, (arge and small) so that they do not attack eachother.
-
Step 5
Now that you have several young hatchlings, prepare a lot of food such as newborn crickets. When your hatchlings grow to six inches long, you will be able to sell them.
