    Some help with filling that cage

    Alright guys well I got my bps back. But I doubt Im gonna think about breeding them this year Ill let my dad get used to them again. But I want to finish building that cage and finally have accepted beardies are kinda cool and would make a good pet for me, maybe even convince the smaller ones reptiles arent evil. So I can build a 5*3 long and deep and however high is neccesary but does it need to be this big? And Im thinking about getting a pair so Should I build it tall and put a melamine board in the middle or just build a bigger cage and house them together? Thanks alot. Also any idea on what different types of beardie morphs make Im new in this.

    And what is your guys favorite all time bearded dragon morph?

    Can't offer advice on the build, but I house my adults separately bc I'd you hose together you are going to have an incubator full of eggs the first clutch. Not to mention all the clutches after. Females are sperm retainers so they only need to be with a male 1x and you could potentially get 6 clutches of 30. That's alot of little guys. A separator for most of the year would work and them removing it to breed. Just make sure you have space for little ones. My favorite morph is the reds and then the red sunset female I have is one of the most spectacular beardies I've ever seen. I got her as a present from a friend on my bday a couple years back. My all all time super fav is the silkies. That's what were working towards. Just hatched my first leatherback female. She's a keeper. 

    Could you post a pic of your red sunset? And I thought that was crazy when I read that on a breeding advice sheet but also cool, with bps your lucky to get 10 eggs. But the eggs are really small but I would have to think about care crickets greens for all those. Still a possibilty I might try it. And would you reccomend any breeders? Thanks alot

    This is coral(red sunset 100% het translucent) she was given to me as a bday present last year. Oh man was I happy to get her. She fell into my friends hands from a woman that said she was too aggressive and wouldn't stop trying to bite her. She was in perfect health and I've never had an issue with her at all with being aggressive. I suspect alot of the issues were from inadequate housing and feeding.
    Never the less I was happy to get her on my team. And this year she's been breeding with a blonde leatherback 100% het trans. So I'm hoping for trans leatherback babies. She's by far one of my all time favs!

    Of course they do!!! Everything comes in morphs!! Lol if you really want to see some cool beardies google search "silkie bearded dragon" thats the end run goal. There's some really great breeders out there that have far more amazing morphs. Although I am quite partial to coral and I can't wait to see what comes of her first clutch at the end of the month  she was bred to a 100% het translucent blonde leather back male. That should yield red and blonde leathers, red and blonde normal backs, red trans leathers (if I'm really lucky) and a few more combos. I can't wait for those eggs to pop.
