Dragon Cave-Have eggs or Dragons?

snakelady: you have some NEAT looking dragons in your scroll!!

Somehow I got 2 paper dragon eggs! Woohoo! So since they can't breed I'll freeze one of them as a hatchling.

I think after that all I need is silver & gold to have all the regular dragons. I'm not trying to get the dinos or the chicken. And I don't count Christmas dragon (for now) since I started long after they were no longer available.

Then are the "SECRET" dragons. Have any of you tried to get these?

WooHoo! More adults and finally a male... and I got the red and vine eggs! Onward toward breeding!

So many beautiful dragons! I have the blue egg I wanted so much, now I'm watching for the white egg, the red egg, and two-tone egg...and any others I don't have! :D

Hey! Thanks. You do too!

kc261 What's a secret dragon? Don't think I've seen that.

Mine just hatched today. Yippie :fest:

I've started to freeze some of the hatchings. So far I've had pretty good sucess in breeding my dragons.

I found out you can have 3 hatchlings and 4 eggs going. But if you have 4 hatchlings you can only have 1 more egg if you have bred it.

It's so neat to see all the different dragons and eggs! I bred a pair of mine for the first time today :) I forgot how this whole gigapet/neopet type thing was so fun!

From what I have been able to gather by viewing some other people's scrolls and from some rumors I've seen on the Dragon Cave forum: there are 2 dragons that aren't regular "get an egg from the cave and grow it up" types. You have to do special things to get them. Unfortunately there isn't any good information on them because TJ has a strict rule about not posting "spoilers". Also, curiously, one of those 2 types has disappeared from the scroll I saw it on. So who knows what that means...

If people want, I can post what little more that I know here. Don't want to post "spoilers" though unless it seems that people want it.

Then maybe we can all work together to try to figure it out!

I personally would like to learn as much as possible about getting as many as I can of the different types.

OOO Do you have a pic of this dragon??

Oh....I have seen something along the lines of a zombie like dragon. I have heard that it is one of those 'secret' dragons....

But, you don't have males and females of each type :weirdface
How can you breed? Also, what good is freezing? I think I missed something :)

freezing is something you can do to a hatchling so it doesn't age. See "Firstborn" in my scroll.

There's also a neglected dragon...I'm not sure how exactly you get that one.

Is that like an abandoned one?

This is so fascinating. Can't wait to learn more.

And I want the chicken egg! :P

Man this is fun! I just managed to snag a nice purple egg. :D

I'll be trying some breeding soon as well. Want to have at least one of each type!

Well to breed you don't need a male and female of each type- the only type of dragon that will only breed wth it's own species is the two-headed. And paper dragons cant breed at all, so it's all good :)

I don't know. I just saw it on somebody's scroll. Maybe if you didn't click on it for several days or something?

The description said it was also kind rebellious..so I don't know if it's one that hatched too early?

I got firstborn from breeding an orange and green (earth) dragon. I got the orange egg from breeding my purple to an orange and the dark green egg from my vine dragon and my earth dragon.

;) congrats everyone on your most recent eggs lol

Oh look! I got the white and purple eggs! So happy, been wanting them for a while now! Now just to get...well do I really need to repeat myself again? :D

Help these hurry and grow so I can get more!!

Also, just a note, but I have both a male and a female vine dragon? I thought there was only one sex per dragon, but maybe I misread!

Gosh this thread got busy again! Various comments on what has been said...

For those who have commented on having trouble getting enough males or females... I believe it is random. I've been lucky to get pretty close to a 50/50 ratio. So just keep trying!

Epona, originally most dragon species only came as one sex, but now they all come as both, except pink & purple which are still only female.

As Jessika said, most dragons will breed with most other dragons. The offspring will be one of the 2 parent species. 2 headeds only breed with other 2 headeds. Paper, dinos, and the chicken don't breed at all. Christmas can breed, but will not produce a christmas, so it will be the other parent species.

Freezing hatchlings is like Schlyne said, to prevent the aging of a hatchling. From something I read on the Dragon Cave forums, you can freeze in either hatchling stage, but it won't stay in the younger stage. It will grow its wings (or whatever that species does), then stay frozen. So what freezing really does is prevents it from becoming an adult.

Also, for those of you still having trouble with eggs getting soft from too many clicks & views... I have recently been waiting about a day after I get an egg before I put it in my signature, based on a tip on the Dragon Cave forums. I don't think I've had a single soft egg or sick hatchling since I started doing that. Also it doesn't even seem to slow down how fast they hatch; it is still around 3-4 days from when I got the egg.

I'll get around to saying more about the secret dragons later, but what others have said so far pretty much matches what I know.

Nope. Purple Dragon's are only females though..and I think there is another dragon breed like that.

Only silver dragons and "splits" (two headed dragons) have different sprites for male and female though.

I'm going for one sex of each dragon breed (if available) and a hatching....

My rescued stony grew up! And I finally got a chicken egg! ha ha. Been trying for so long.

Go Mad City Chickens! LOL!

Thanks for clearing that up! :)

Grrr .. I want them to hatch so badly! They should hatch soon right?? Or atleast start cracking?

Soon. I thought mine weren't going to hatch but then they did, after I'd forgotten about them lol.

Ugh they feel like theyre taking forever!! Over 400 views and not one crack!!!

My first batch is about to grow up. This is strangely exciting, now I am off to try and find a purple egg... pretty purple eggs...

Your first one HAS grown up! Congrats!

Good luck with getting the purple egg!

I've been trying for about 5 days to get paper, gold, or silver. I did finally get the paper, but no luck with the other 2. For 2 or 3 days I didn't even SEE any. Now I've seen several of each, but just can't click fast enough. *sigh*

Chaotic, you need to be more patient with your dragons. There are 4 factors (at least) in when the dragons hatch: views, unique views, clicks, and TIME. No matter how many clicks & views you have, it still requires time. In fact, too many clicks or views too fast will kill them.

*Sigh* I know. Ive been watching them very closely to make sure they dont get soft. I just want to to crack already!

The blue egg is cracking! Yay! Come out little water dragon! :)

*Screams!* They are all cracking yay!!!!

Darn it!! I forgot my username/password!!! Its saved on my pc at home but i have no internet there.. i cant even access my scroll because i forgot my username! i tried getting the password by retrieving it through the "forgot my password" icon but i still havnt gotten the email, and yea i checked spam folder :taz: all this mess to avoid loosing eggs through my signature while were moving

Chaotic: What are those vials you've got?

I am SO in love with the little water dragon! That's why she stays in my signature even though she is an adult! Her name is Little Girl Blue.

That's how I still feel every time. And every time I get an egg of a new color. And every time they hatch, or grow up, or breed successfully. All this for a bunch of ones and zeros on some HS kid's computer. Imagine how bad I'm gonna be when I have real eggs hatching! LOL!!

They are called Valenth, but other than that I don't know. I'm not sure if they violate the TOS of this site because the graphics are bigger than allowed in a signature. If you click on it and display properties, it says they are 110 pixels tall, and we are only allowed 100. However, that includes the graphic and the text at the bottom, so maybe they are ok? I dunno. Chaotic, you might want to clarify this with Shelby, who is the "resident signature expert".

Oh no Ashley! I hope you don't end up losing them due to not enough clicks/views now! Do you know your account number? One of us could at least view your scroll to let you know how they are doing.

Ashley: go in through you sig here or if that doesn't work we can click on your scroll for you. Is the scroll link in your sig?

WOOOOO HOOOOO !!!! I finally got a silver! :fest: :pinkele: :fest: :pinkele: :fest:

Not putting it in my signature until sometime tomorrow, but you can look on my scroll if you want. I don't think the number of people that read this thread will count as too many too fast. ;)

I hate you... (JK :P)

No fair. I was waiting around for 15 minutes for the hour mark...and Missed it by 5!!! :mad: I still need a black, paper, gold and silver! I especially want a silver, since that's my Forum name!

Well, here's to 10pm...

It can be frustrating! The gold, silver, papers, and others are so hard to get with my slow connection. By the time they load the dragon is already taken.

I saw a mystery egg today. I tried soooo hard to get it. No luck it even showed up later as abandoned and I couldn't get it then either. The site was busy loading that stupid father's day ad instead of the egg. I'm like yeah, yeah come onnnnn!!!. LOL!

How silly. :oops:

Congrats on the silver egg!

Just a tip for those of us with slower connections:

If you have firefox, when you are getting ready to start hunting eggs, go to View > Page Style > No Style

This will make it FAR easier, as you will have tiny dots you can click instead of waiting for the image to load!! On dial-up, this has been a great help. :)

Just waiting for my babies to grow up so I can get more!

I don't know HOW I keep managing to get so many eggs/hatchlings??!

Now I have a pink egg! I didn't even really mean to click it :P

Don't know what the pink one grows into (I think a dino?) so I might as well keep it!

Sweet tip! Thanks. I'll have to try that.
Wow, you do have a lot to babies and eggs! The pink egg is like the first dragon on my scroll. :)

I'm glad I could help! Where I live, there's NO chance of highspeed without huuuuge costs, so I make do with crummy dialup, and you learn little tricks to make things easier to load! Now I've got more competition for eggs though! :P

The pink dragon is pretty! Glad I grabbed it now. :)

(so jealous of the chicken eggs! they're saying its the rarest egg at the moment)

OMG!!! I just got a GOLD egg! That is the last of the regular dragon breeds that I needed. Today must be my lucky day!

Thanks Epona for the tip about the firefox settings. I think it helped with getting the gold egg.

Now I think I better get out of here before you guys kill me for stealing all the good eggs! :bolt:

No kidding. Look at your hatchings! All rare!:O

Well, I grabbed another blue egg since those dragons are so pretty. :) Trying for a male, but if it's another female I guess I'll freeze it as a hatchling since they're still pretty then.

My water dragon hatched! It's just too beautiful.

I sneaked a peak on the forums at some of the work in progress dragons, and some are just so awesome! I can see being addicted to this site forever. :P
