    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....

Keep in mind that babies are very expensive to feed. If you don't already have everything prepared to incubate the eggs (most homemade incubators take a few days to callibrate), it may be in your best interests to freeze them.

As far as taking care of Mama, make sure that the laying substrate is firm enough that it won't collapse on her as she digs. Some keepers like to start a hole for their dragons (some dragons use it, some don't). I've heard that a lot of people use vermiculite for this, others use a 50/50 mix of topsoil and sand. Make sure Mom stays well-hydrated. The process of laying is exhausting, and can leave her dehydrated. Be sure to give her a good warm soak after she finishes.

I'm sure other (and probably better) advice will follow.

Good luck.

PS-- how old/big are your dragons?
 
No if you freeze them they will die. He was suggesting freezing them in case you aren't prepared to properly incubate them and then feed and take care of them after they hatch.
 
Hello

Hello,

No, once the eggs are frozen, the yolk detaches from the egg. They will not live.

come on now dude. Do you think one would suggest freezing the eggs if that will kill them? If so what would be the point in doing so....
 
Why freeze them if you dont want them. Just disgard them..... I think I am missing the point here.
 
The point is that if you just throw them away, depending on where you live, there is a very small possibility that your eggs will be hatching in a landfill later on... and that is no life for a dragon. You don't freeze the eggs to save them for later, but to prevent the later from being. Freeze, wait, then discard.

See?
 
Help for Mama and Babies!!!

All you need to do is go to Wal mart and get a bag of Vermiculite and mix 50% of it with 50% water in a small plastic container. You will need to get an incubator (around $50.00 @ http://www.strombergschickens.com/products/basic_incubators.php)
It is the most economical. I have two of these and they are great!! If you cannot afford to do so try looking on the web for home made designs.

Best of luck,
Corey

P.S. If there is anything else I can help you with along the way just email me @ [email protected]
 
A 50/50 ratio of water and vermiculite would leave the eggs swimming.....and dead.

He's in England so no Walmart but our equivalent (Asda ) doesn't supply things like that, a garden center or Do It All might be your best bet Mark, or a large pet shop (cant think of the name of our main pet stores).

Any developments Mark?
