Breeding!!

[BeardedBrutus]

I have a bearded dragon that is almost 2 years old. I want to breed it very soon. I am just wondering exactly what I need to breed it with (supplies and what to look for in the bearded dragon I'm getting him to breed with), how do I introduce the two together, what if they attack one another, and lastly what are the laws and regulations on breeding and selling bearded dragons in Ohio? Thanks!

WEll I don't know about the laws in ohio but breeding bearded dragon is easy the pair should be simular sized but male are most of the time bigger . just put them together the males usually bite the female behind the head during mating this is normal after mating watch the female to see as she starts to fill out with eggs once she getting close to laing the eggs she will do a lot more digging you will need to get a large rubber maid tote put at least 4 to 5 inches a mixture of sand vermiculite and peat moss or potting soil the does not contain pestasides depending time of year you might need a heat source from above and partially cover with a towel moisten the equil part of the mixture with water so it is damp but no soggy she will normally dig several spots until she finds a spot she likes also keep her in a quiet room during this time check once in awhile to see if she layed her eggs afterward keep her separated from the male for about a week to rest etc. carefully uncover the eggs put them in smaller containers carefully not to turn the eggs put a small dot on the eggs to know the top side of the egg with dampened vermiculite

What are the chances that if you try to introduce a new lizard into the cage that they will always fight or try to kill eachother. Because my beardie is pretty agressive.

males sometimes fight but never had a problem with male female

So even a semi-agressive lizard should welcome the opposite sex?
