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.

Bearded Dragon Breeding
Hi all, wondering everyone else's thoughts regarding the correct age for breeding male bearded dragons.
I understand females need to be 18 months AND (not or) 350 grams. I typically wait until my ladies are closer to the 2 year marker.
However, I have seen breeders breeding their males as young as 9 months and saying that they produce a larger clutch when they are that young?
Is it recommended for a male to be 18 months and 350 grams as well?
Also, at what age is it recommended to "retire" breeders at?
Thanks in advance!

For males, for me, the main consideration is size. If the male is too much smaller than the female, she may potentially injure him. I have never personally heard of younger sires producing larger clutches, but maybe someone else will chime in on that.
As for retirement, I usually retire females when their clutch size significantly decreases, suggesting a drop in fertility due to age. I have not had to retire a male due to age in the time I was breeding dragons, but I'm sure they do eventually get too old.
