Hello all. I am writing wondering at what age a female bearded dragon can actually safely mate and lay eggs. I have read up on many sites to wait until one and a half to two years of age. However.... I see all kinds of female dragons that are posted for sale from 10 to 11 months of age (and some from reputable breeders actually) and saying that they will be ready to breed by summer, which at longest could only make them 13-14 months of age (by end of summer). Now I am not saying they are wrong whatsoever, and if anybody that does do that reads this post I am just simply looking for actual information and any help is greatly appreciated. I am in no way trying to hate. I am just curious
because I am getting into breeding them to and have found some nice younger females (6-10 months) that I have been very interested in for my green trans het hypo male. He is just about ready and I am looking to get a nice female for him. I just would like to know whether to actually wait the full year and a half or just over a year. I am aware that not all are good for breeding and of size/weight requirements and everything else. I know the females lay a clutch of slugs without breeding for the first time (not all females of course). Does that signal when they are ready if they do happen to do that? Sorry for going on and on. I am just extremely curious that's all. Once again any help is greatly appreciated and it would help clarify alot of things for me. Possibly others too that read this post.
