Sorry Af, can't help you. But if you're gonna breed them make sure you let me now when the offspring arrive, I'd be very interested in getting some. By the way, are you housing them outside? If so, how are they doing with the cold weather of Melbourne?
Good luck!
Simon
Thanks BS.
I am hoping to Sob. They have layed one clutch for their previous owner but unfortunately ate the eggs! Greedy Buggas! I am hoping to breed them and keep the eggs this time I'll let you know how it goes
Still looking for advice guys and gals so keep it coming please.
I've never bred water dragons before but the dragons i have bred i always used moist/wet sand. Beardies/Jackies will dig a chamber as long as themself then turn and lay the eggs. Once they finish laying they will fill in the chamber and pack it down with their heads.
I wouldn't think water dragons would be much different.
I think wet sand best for a laying site as it holds together well and allows them to dig deeper borrows without them collapsing.
Be sure you take care when digging any eggs out that you don't dig to deep and hit eggs.
Like i said i've never bred water dragons but i can't see why they would be much different to other dragons.
When I bred my Beardies I used a mixture of topsoil and potting mix which worked well as I kept it quite dry as they were Centrals. With the amount of moisture / water in the Easterns enclosure it would just turn to mud though.
dont ya waters have a dry aerea my water dragon loves basking at high temps then all say on his big flat rock then only sometimes he has a quick splash
Yup they have a dry area twice a week when I clean they're enclosure out 5 minutes after I put them back in though they have a ball in the tub and everything is wet, including me if I don't close the door quick enough! They just love to frolick in the water and should a cocky fall in the water....look out it's wetter than waterworld
u lie it isnt that big u lie also my beardie is heaps gravid and the male is stil trying to root it like every 5 seconds it runs up to her displaying what should i use to let her lay her eggs in also im not using an incubator when i sell the babies i might be able to afford one if they hatch hopefully i heave better luck than last year only were they died
ok i just ran outa the back and my beardie ran up to the already gravid female and mated with it for about 7 seconds the female was walking around and the male was on top of her then he ran off her and started head bobbing at me
