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.

Anyone breed Rankins Dragons???
Hi,
We have a 3.6 group of Rankins. They are close to 1 1/2 yrs old and ready to practice parenting! LOL... Does anyone hear have suggestions on set-ups, grouping, etc...? We breed Beardies and have great succes, and were just looking for other peoples' opinions on breeding the Rankins.
Thanks for your time to anyone who may reply...

Personally, I wouldn't do anything different from the vitticeps setup. This isn't experience with Rankins talking, though, just an opinion. I turned down the chance to breed Rankins, as I simply didn't have the space at the time.

We breed Rankins!
I would probably break that group into two 1.2 2.4 and see how that works. Some males get along better than others. Or if you have a bunch of different bloodlines, if you could get 3 unrelated groups going, buyers would be very happy (a lot of people looking for pairs).
Our set ups are similar to beardies, but less climbing space (height), more soil than sand, big water area for soaking, less heat. I set up the lay areas in the enclosures. Similar to beardies. I had one female this year lay 6 clutches of 25-28 eggs!
They are very popular.
The one catch with rankins that I found is that the babies need to be separated out more and more--and much more than beardies. They seem to thrive fine together for 3 weeks, then you have to keep separating them out or a couple start to stress and have issues. That has just been my experience. So have a lot of baby tubs on hand. Our babies also seemed to prefer glass.
Hope that helps.

Thanks guys!
Thank you both for replying! I'll give what you suggested a try Dana, as it was kind of what we were thinking. Thanks also for the set-up tips as well! Hopefully these guys will produce for us this year as we can't wait to see the babies. My wife loves them, their her favorites. It's neat how they're sooo much like beardeds, but also sooo different as well. (figure that one out?) We've had alot of fun raising them and really look forward to working with them as well.
Thanks again!
Bob

Dana,
what size enclosure do you have for your groups. I have had my 1.2 together for a long time and though the females look fat they never seem to lay their eggs. from the way it sounds I might have it too hot and dry though.
