Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How to get rid of baby dragons?
For those of you that make a living off of bearded dragons.. how do you do it?
How do you find people to buy enough dragons to actually make it worth doing at all? Do retail suppliers buy from private breeders?
Just curious. I haven't bred any of my dragons, but if I do, I'd like to have a better grasp of what other people are doing to keep themselves from having tons of babies with no one to sell them to.
Also, I'm talking more along the lines of whole selling normal dragons. I can post an add for a translucent on this very website, and have it fly out the window, but i'm more interested in how you move the plain ol guys out the door.

I sell my normal off-spring to my locally owned pet store & at shows. Not everyone wants a high dollar bearded dragon, some want the normals.

If you start off in this "business" looking to make money, then this is not the business for you. I can count on one hand the number of people I know that make a really nice living off of breeding bearded dragons. The overhead costs of breeding dragons safely, efficiently, and ethically is massive, and recouping that cost through the sales of baby dragons is no easy task. Ask any of those real successful livelihood breeders, it takes a looooooong time to get there. A lot of your success as a small breeder depends on your location. Take my location for example - I live in Raleigh, NC. There are SEVERAL big name breeders in the immediate area - - - Carolina Classic Dragons, Carolina Designer Dragons, and a few others. Market is saturated for local sales, so if I were to breed dragons on some large scale, I'd probably have to hone my marketing skills and sales strategy a little and be creative. As my good friend Dave Freeman has told me (Carolina Classic Dragons), there's plenty of room for everyone, plenty of customers to go around. Consider your target audience before you start breeding, that would help an awful lot. Melissa is right, not everyone wants a $500 dragon. Just think about what your ultimate goal is. Good luck! :-)
