hi am staring to breed breaded dragons i have two females and one male can any advise if i should have two cluches in one incubater and what tempreture should it be at
 
researching on google would be helpful.. try and get an incubator make sure you have a big enough tank, let your beardies sleep through this winter so they are ready for love making
 
the tank should be at least 4 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot, not sure on the incubator temps but it should be around 30 my guess, that tank is only big enough for two beardies
 
30.5 degrees i had my incubator and a 4x2x2 is a good size for breeding them but wen u see the females starting to get fat remove the male and dose ya females with calcium an vitains i had 12 hr day night cycle at 35 basking spot an 25 cool end for the spring an summer an dropped it to 9 hr light 15 dark wit 2 hrs basking at 28 but after it cut off tank kept at 10-15 happy breeding !!!!!!!
 
i have two beardies they are fully grown they are in a 4 and i've got a smaller one i a 3 foot tank and when my little one gets biger i plan on moving her with them
 
How many chicken eggs does the incubator hold? And if it's one that rotates, make sure u turn that option OFF or you'll kill the babies inside. Also, most healthy, fully grown females will lay from 25 - 30 eggs/clutch, and 3 clutches (that's with one mating, therefore it's advised to put the male in a seperate tank after one wk with the ladies - also he can exhaust them). They lay approx. every 3 wks, so u will need room for the first 2 clutches at least in your incubator. Hatch rate dependant on temps is from 7wks -9wks. Most keep their temps around 28C, I keep mine around the 30 - 33C, 24/7. You'll also need to buy vermiculite or something to sit the eggs in.
How old are your beardies? Should be around the 2 yr mark preferably. Get the females on to calcium sups as soon as they wake up - they eat a lot more when gravid, so you need to be able to accommodate that. The babies need to be housed, so u also need to be prepared for up to approx. 180 babies if u have 2 females, recommended no more than 10 babies in together, with the same requirements as adults re heat & UV. Each baby can eat anywhere from 30 - 70 baby woodies/crickets per day, so also add this into the equation, & are best fed 2-3 times/day.
If you can cope with the above, happy breeding!:)
