well my girl Lizzy was mated with my male Magellan a while ago and i took her to the vet today for a checkup to make sure everything is going well for her and he said shes one of the healthiest beardies hes ever seen and since my husbandry couldnt get any better than it is, there shudnt b a problem like egg binding...she has about 20+ eggs he said nd from what he can tell they all look like they developed properly nd she shud be laying within 10 days but if not to contact him and hes going to give me something to help with the contractions since she is a little late on her lay date but he said this is very likely due to it being her 1st clutch (he used to breed all sorts of reptiles and beardies were his favorites so he has personal experience with this too)....hes some pictures of lizzy's egg filled belly







**UPDATE**
We have eggs!

i lucked out with the dad...got him for 30$ at my job wen he cost 100$...my boss's son used to breed and had the high color morphs nd i bought one of his babies (not knowing about the morph thing till now)

[siracergrl]

i bred my pair just to see what i wud get...i love the colors on the dad but i love the spikes on the mom and they both have the stocky build (bulldog beardies)

If you get a baby that turns out like the dad, you should sell one to me.

A store I used to go to quite a bit had one as their mascot, very nice tank at the store.

Where is a good place to learn about these guys? I know diddily nothing about bearded dragons.

im a member of just about every reptile forum out there.... beareddragon.org, bearded-dragons.com, and kingsnake.com are my fav places 2 learn...not to mention i got a few books on them that i read religiously...also i can answer just about every question about them down to their scientific taxonomy

[Demisedgabe]

thats awesome

How hard are these to care for and what kind of habitat do they gotta have? I had some water dragons and they died because their enviroment just kept getting dried up and I sprayed it down everyday.

the intial cost for the set up can be a lil expensive but u can cut corners just about everywhere...they r much easier to care for than water dragons...water dragons need a higher humidity and a more arboreal cage (taller)...bearded dragons basically need a min 40 gal breeder tank (u can make one with plexiglass, an old piece of furniture or jus buy a tank) they need crickets, roaches, or silkworms as a staple protein food and a bunch of different greens as a staple plant matter for them...u need calcium and multivitamin supplements and a heat light (i use floodlights) and a uvb TUBE light...everythin u can get cheap at reptile shows or online (its cheaper to buy online rather than in a store) and most of the stuff u can get used...the supplements will last you forever and they r only like $8 each...also their humidity levels only need to be about 30-40%

[siracergrl]

they r also a moderately small lizard compared to many lizards out there...there are 2 diff breeds of bearded dragons though...some get much larger and others dont...pogona vitticeps (common bearded dragon that you see in stores and stuff) is generally smaller ranging anywhere from 16-20 inches depending on sex and then the pogona barbata (eastern bearded dragon) extremely similar to pogona vitticeps but it has more defined spikes, less coloration, and gets much larger....they crossbreed the vitticeps and the barbata to create "german giants" then you have the vittikins but thats a whole diff pogona species

haha they look awesome. good luck to you and lizzy =D
