Hi i got a female beady a month a go and theres been some action and i was wondering how to tell if see has eggs i tried to candel here but here scails are think and i could not see anything please help me

Oh dear.
You cannot "candle" her..
How long ago did she mate? Its usually about 3 weeks after they will lay, you may not notice until the last few days when u will be able to feel the eggs inside her.
If they did mate she is probably Gravid.. are you prepared to look after eggs and babies?

 

[geckoboy2001]

No but I have a mate who will incubat them for me
How much will babies be worth

 

[NickGeee]

Sooooo are you 100 percent sure she has mated?

 

[geckoboy2001]

Yes saw it 4-5 times and I saw them when I was about to go to school then when I came home they were still on top of each other

 

[MesseNoire]

You mean like this?

Did you hold a candle up to your dragon?

Serious question.

Babies will be worth 50, if you are trying to make cash of them, i wouldnt be breeding them.. babies need around 15-20 crickets per day along with greens, each
you wont make money unless your a big breeder

Afraid to say mate, mating only lasts afew seconds, so what you witnessed was not mating.

 

[geckoboy2001]

Yes there where on top of each other and when I first saw them my male was waving and bobbing like a crazy man.
And no I did not hold a candle to the bearded dragon I'm stupid but I'm not that stupid

When you said a few seconds I go to school so I think I witnessed them mating but when I came home they maybe where on top of each other for no reason goes I've seen them sleep on each 2-3 times

Head bobbing is a sign of DOMINANCE not mating

 

[geckoboy2001]

And waving

Lift her gently by the tail off the ground. You will clearly see bumps (its looks like she would of had a meal of marbles). If she is bumpy make up a lay box in readyness for the eggs. Might be a good idea to ask for a couple of reptile husbandry books for Christmas.

Suprised no one has questioned how old they are?

 

[geckoboy2001]

they are both 2.5

 

[MesseNoire]

they are both 2.5

Awesome..... 2.5 what? Years? Months?
I suspect one is just sitting on top of the other (sign of dominance) but keep a laying box in there with her just incase and separate them.

 

[geckoboy2001]

2.5 years

That's not a picture of beardies mating my young friend it's dominance as stated by Fractal_man. Listen to Eippers advice. He's one of the few people on here that really knows what their talking about.

 

[Sel]

How long ago was it you think they mated?

Threads like these shows why it should be mandatory to show the age of the people posting. I have a feeling that some of you are giving a rough time to a keen young kid.
