Fuck Yeah, Bearded Dragons!

Anonymous asked: My bearded baby has begun laying eggs, but I have no idea how to care for them! Tips??? Plllease? :(

Aaah, I have very little experience with eggs! My girl has never laid. The Breeding section of beardeddragon.org forums might have posts that would be of help, but call a good exotics vet if you’re too freaked out. 

Some basics! Make sure temperatures are good, that she’s in a safe place away from people or other animals, and that she’s passing eggs easily. How big is the beardie herself? Do you have a suitable laying area set up? She’ll need somewhere comfortable, likely some damp sand/soil to dig in. If eggs are already coming out, though, absolutely don’t disturb her. Are they fertile? If they are you should have already set up an incubator for them, but if they’re infertile I’m not quite sure what you should do with them. I’ve heard you can freeze and then toss them. BUT GET HER THROUGH THE LAYING FIRST.

Will anyone with egg experience please speak up? Anon needs some help!

To the guy wanting to house two female bearded dragons together in the same enclosure: the safe answer is don’t. Just don’t do it. I have a juvenile bearded dragon that I rescued because the other dragons tried eating his tail and BIT OFF his front legs. If you house bearded dragons together, even just a male and female, fighting is inevitable. One is dominant. She’ll fight for the food, light, basking places… The weakest may die.

yesiamshort asked: In response to what hausofamreicano just asked you regarding housing dragons together I would say its a no no. As you said yourself it is likely that one could become dominant and they could end up fighting. I've seen poor beardies that have been injured from living together and so I would personally say it is a bad idea to put them in together, would be better off housing them seperately to be on the safe side

hausofamreicano asked: How big will a tank have to be to house two female bearded dragons? Thanks

To be perfectly honest, I don’t have a lot of experience in housing multiple dragons together. Usually if you have more than one, you would house them in 3’s or by themselves for health reasons. Even though they’re both female, one will become the dominant one in the tank and the other one will inevitably eat less and become weaker/smaller in comparison. I would recommend housing them separately. If you’re really set on this, I’d talk to others or look through the archives of those who have more experience with it in the enclosures section of the beardeddragon.org forums.

Do any other fybd followers have advice?
