    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Can Someone Help Me Out!

I really want to get into breeding beardies....but i have no ready females...i have two males 1(4yr) Snow/normal cross and 1(14mnth) high citrus/snow pastel cross...also have a 3month old female (Red Flame/Red Desert x Red Flame/Gold Sandfire/Sandfire red) but i still have way to long till she is ready... anybody want to help out....PLEASE!!!! but i am not rich so help me with the deals... :yesnod:
 
Alonso, if you can't afford to buy a female, perhaps you need to do some research into what it actually costs to raise a clutch of babies to selling age. It is quite expensive (those little babies need a LOT of crickets, among other things!) to raise them properly. Food, heat, lighting, enclosures for all....figuring an average of 20-some babies, it adds up very quickly.

Just something to think about.
 
Yeah of course i know that....but i would just do it like when i helped my friend and breed crickets again(it was easy) or just buy in bulks....i know i helped raise my friends....thats how i got my first dragon....
 
there's also the cost of veterinary care for mom if anything goes wrong, and care for the babies if you experience trouble with parasites, deformities, accidents, etc.

Plus building the baby bins.

Plus the incubator.

Plus, if you can't wait for your girl to be of proper breeding age, are you prepared to wait for the babies to hatch? Are you capable of paying/caring for babies that you don't sell right away, or don't sell at all? Keeping in mind that males cannot be kept together past a certain age, and the cost of individual enclosures adds up quickly...

Just... a lot to consider. But basically, being a responsible breeder means not only doing something you want, but something that you feel promotes the best interests of the animals involved.
