First time breeding beardies in the season just finished, and to my amazement i incubated far more eggs than i was ever expecting. From all accounts from people i've been in contact with, its been unheard of. Having said that, there are far more experienced keepers than I, and i dont believe that numbers such as these below are a first. But am interested to hear peoples thoughts etc on any other breeding/clutch records or high achievers.
My situation unfolded breeding a 4yr old female cenral beardie to a 1yr old male. On their first meeting (27/8/07) copulation was witnessed......within only a few and only a few hours of them being together.
This one encounter ultimately lead to 5 clutches totalling 107 eggs in total.
Clutch 1- laid 20/9/07- 25 eggs (no slugs)- 100% hatch rate
Clutch 2- laid 20/10/07- 22 eggs (no slugs)- 100% hatch rate
Clutch 3- laid 16/11/07- 23 eggs (no slugs)-100% hatch rate
Clutch 4- laid 7/12/07- 17 eggs (no slugs)-100% hatch rate
Clutch 5- laid 11/1/08- 20 eggs (11 slugs)- 55% hatch rate
This is all from a 3 hr stint together!!!!

Does anyone else have any unusual findings with any of their breeding historys?

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Nov-06 Location: Wollongong Age/Gender: 23 | | | | Yeah from what i'd read, so long as food is offered when they look for it and they can retain their condition, your looking at every 4 weeks. Though i have heard of multi clutching at 3 week intervals.
Anyone else got any interested breeding records to share?
