it is a good thing i love these guys so much. because when you add up the cost of feed and electric you don’t even break even on them. hahaha. but i just keep them because they fascinate me.


just one of the reptiles we breed here at Matt Fisher Reptiles.

here are some pics of some of the eggs i have hatched out in the past.

Cute egg pics.

thanks i love them. they are the coolest little lizzard.

Awww! Cute little eggs :) Hope you get some pretty babies!

EGGGzactlly! congrats! :P

thanks i cant wait for them all to hatch out.

Make sure you dont change the face up position the egg was laid, more liable to die if they tip. Not saying you didn't keep them right side up but that
first pic looks like they arn't held in place real well, it looks like you know what your doing though (due to the baby pics) so im definitly not saying i know more than you. Good luck with the eggs! :D

Do you ever use lay boxes for your dragons? You will find that they eggs won't get as dehydrated if the female is put into a laybox when she is ready to drop those eggs. Just a suggestion.

Hope you get lots of beardie babies.

thanks. that is great advice. i aloways try my best to keep them right side up. bd eggs are real hardy i rarely lose any. the only one i lost was one that a cricket ate a hole in the top. last night.

Cool! Beardie babies rock! I haven't bred my female yet because I have a new male and I want him to get a little bigger. He's a looker though so I'll be patient. Good luck with your eggs! Beardie eggs are hearty and moving them becomes real critical when they are more developed and have more veins. :rockon:

Wow she was so fat when so was full of eggs! Is that about the normal number of eggs in a clutch? My husband's determined that at some point we are getting a male Beardie. He's just in love with them!

there was a egg bog in there. she just decided to lay them on the other side of the cage. this has been the case with her every time she lays. you could build her the lay box of lay boxes and she would just put them somewhere else.

that is a good sized clutch. i have seen as few as 5 from a new female to as many as 30 from one of my giant females.

Beardies are probably one of the friendliest reptiles! My female averaged 20 eggs per clutch and had 3 clutches her first year which is usually not their best. They can have as many as 7 clutches by the second or third year. Make sure you got a good cricket contact if your breeding because those babies can eat. Cute little buggers too!

How did I miss this thread? Theres the face of a proud mamma. I may have to talk mom into a baby beardie or 2. lol

should be good jake. i will cut you a hell of a deal.

here's a pic of my girl when she was pregnant... she was NOT amused!

Maybe starting to breed roaches would be a good way to supplement their feeding. My roach colony sky rocketed, not enough to feed that many babies though. My mealworm colony is more than 100 X more productive than I EVER will need.

I bought like 300 mealies for under $20 bucks, bought oats from the feed store, and they breed like crazy. Just throw out the "gunk" every 2-3 months and add fresh fruits and veggies for moisture every few days. Some people go about seperaing them at all different life stages but I see no use
