So your waiting for it to happen? And it will happen. Your beardies are way to small to be even close to breeding, the female needs to be at least 300-400 grams IMO to breed. Any younger than that and your looking at an egg bound female.

$300-400 on food every 2-3days for a beardie is insane, its not a kid lol, trust me I have a 6year old..
A baby beardie can eat 60-100 crickets a day, and normally 1000 crickets will last close to two weeks. Now...beardies can have around 60 eggs per clutch, but the normal is around 30 at least ive seen. So... 30x$20 ( The average price for 1000 crickets) is $600. Now...if you buy in major bulk its going to be less than that, but your still looking at alot of money a week on feeders. Not only that but beardies have mulitple clutches, so in a few months you could have up to 160 beardies that you have to feed. They have to be at least 7 inchs to sell IMO too, so you have to keep them for a month or two. Beardies are like pastels on the market, there are to many of them and most do not look good. Im going to tell it to you straight, your two beardies will not have colorful babys that people are going to want to buy the second they see them. Go look on kingsnake and see how many normal looking beardies are on the market right now.

Im just saying.. - Matt
